Nollywood actor, Godwin Maduagu has revealed his mental state as a result of the backlash that a video of his generated online, Njenje Media News reports.
The actor, whose alleged gay sex tape leaked online in February, revealed that he has been having suicidal thoughts as he currently battles with the effect of the scandal.
Njenje Media News recalls that the actor in a video which gained traction on social media, was seen making out with another man, an act which a lot of Nigerians found despicable , especially as it is is totally forbidden by the society and equally against the law.
In a video he shared via his Instagram page, on Tuesday, Godwin bemoaned the financial downhill he has been subjected to as he has lost many job opportunities due to the scandal.
In the video, he claimed many brands refused to work with him ever since the video surfaced online.
In his words:
”I am not happy because you guys are frustrating my life because I am getting depressed already. I thought I have moved on and everybody has moved on.
“I have not been getting jobs, I am getting broke. You know as a public figure you have to have money to take care of some personal expenses. Right now I don’t have any money.
“The current development now is that when people book me for a job, once the company or brand sees that I’m the one they immediately reject me.
“How do you guys want me to feel? How do I even survive?
“You guys said I made a video to trend. How do you think that I will make a video that will destroy my life and everything. Am I not the one loosing now?
“You guys should just pity me now, Please. I am not happy. I want to get my life back. I need money.
“Right now I feel like committing suicide because I can’t take this anymore. It is really depressing and it is affecting me psychologically,” he said.
