Mixed Reactions as Moyo Lawal Suffers Gym Accident
Popular Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has been in the news lately after she posted pictures of herself online with a visible cut on her lip due to a gym accident. The actress, popular for her bubbly personality and somewhat controversial social media presence, immediately took to social media to create a video of what happened and got mixed reactions from both her followers and critics.

In the video, Moyo exclaimed in exasperation:
“I hurt myself. I hate this gym. I won’t work out again.”
Whereas many of her followers indeed wished her well and a speedy recovery, the thread soon turned in another direction: comments about the skin tone led to comments on the looks rather than the injury.
@darmie__ commented, “Sorry o, nobody should come for me, please, what kind of exercise involves using the mouth at the gym?” Meanwhile, @christabel.george7 reacted, “I don’t know if it is just me. I don’t like looking at her face for long.she scares me with her eyes ????.“
Other comments touched on previous rumours about the actress bleaching her skin, a subject Moyo herself has talked about mostly clapping back at the criticizers.
@alexander.chima09 wrote, “This one done bleach come look like caro white ????????????????,” while another
@daniel.robin35, chimed in, “Moyo, is this bleaching not too much? Till you disappear ???? before you go rest?”
@sekinat_ayodele commented, “Sorry dear”
This incident shows the challenges that celebrities go through in their personal lives in addition to public scrutiny. Moyo Lawal is not new to internet sc*ndals, and the actress has remained in the news for not only her acting skills but also for being quite vocal on matters that concern her private life. This year alone, she was in the news for speaking about self-care, beauty, and how she deals with criticism online.
Her followers, however, had her back, filling comments with encouraging words while reminding others to be more considerate of circumstances like this. In any event, whether or not the actress would get back to the gym isn’t currently known. Her honest video and the responses to it cut both ways in leading a life of social media fame.
