Actress Queeneth Hilbert files lawsuit against Destiny Etiko

• Nollywood actress Queeneth Hilbert has filed a lawsuit against her colleague Destiny Etiko, following her colleague’s recent N100 million lawsuit.

• Destiny Etiko has filed a N100 lawsuit against Queeneth Hilbert for defamation.

• Queeneth Hilbert has accused Destiny Etiko of stealing people’s boyfriends, sparking a controversy between the actresses.

Nollywood actress Queeneth Hilbert has initiated legal proceedings against her colleague, Destiny Etiko, just days after Etiko filed a defamation lawsuit seeking N100 million in damages.

It is important to recall that Destiny Etiko accused Queeneth Hilbert of defamation in her lawsuit.

The situation has escalated into a public dispute, with Queeneth Hilbert alleging that Destiny Etiko has been involved in inappropriate relationships with others’ partners.

The legal statement issued by Etiko demands that Queeneth Hilbert refrain from making further defamatory remarks and retract her previous statements within a 48-hour timeframe.

Additionally, the statement refuted the claims made by Queeneth Hilbert.

In response, Queeneth Hilbert has countered with her own lawsuit, which has effectively halted any potential arrest of Etiko, characterizing such actions as an infringement on her personal freedom.

This lawsuit also seeks a permanent injunction against the arrest of Etiko, allowing her to continue her professional activities without interference.

In other news, A Facebook user, Chidozie Odogwudozilla Nnachor, has voiced his concerns regarding Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe’s portrayal of Igbo men in the movie Love in Every World, where he starred alongside Big Brother Naija alum Bambam.

According to Chidozie, Uzor, who has previously claimed to be underappreciated in the movie industry is actually causing significant harm to the image of Igbo men, an impact that he believes could last for generations.

He further argued that Uzor was reinforcing a harmful stereotype, particularly through his speech, which he claimed does not reflect how Igbo men actually talk. Chidozie described the actor’s accent in the film as “long, drooling, and cringeworthy.”

Additionally, he stated that Igbo men do not behave the way Uzor’s character did, criticizing his performance as exaggerated and unrepresentative. He went as far as to label the character as “borderline ridiculous” and “a misrepresentation of Igbo wealth and mannerisms.”

Despite some of his followers attempting to challenge his viewpoint, Chidozie remained firm, insisting that Uzor’s depiction was an embarrassment to Igbo culture.

This is not the first time Uzor Arukwe has faced backlash for his portrayal of an Igbo character—he previously came under fire for a similar role in Tribe of Judah.
