Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has finally addressed the rumors linking her to the popular anonymous blog, Gistlover.
Speaking during an interview with Ayo Makun on his podcast Glass House, Iyabo questioned the logic behind the claims, asking how she could be the owner of a platform that frequently targets both her and her daughter.
She went on to reveal that the blog had been fed false information by people within her inner circle.
“How would I be Gistlover and I’d drag myself and my daughter on that same blog. When Gistlover was dragging me, I found out it was the people close to me sending the wrong information to the blogger”.
For years, people tried to untangle the identity of the brain behind the anonymous blog.
The faces behind Gistlover were revealed by controversial investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo to be Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh. According to her, they were identified as Gistlover by an IRT police officer.
According to actor Yomi Fabiyi, two actresses were important members of the syndicate. Because she is a twin, he said, one is a Diaspora actress who got her name from the line OBA from “Edunjobi Oba Oma,” while the other is a well-known Yoruba actress who is close to Iyabo Ojo and has almost become her archenemy. But he clarified that Iyabo isn’t a Gistlover.
“It’s the people who are close to you that take your information to Gistlover”
– Iyabo Ojo
