Genevieve Nnaji makes first public appearance after months of reportedly battling mental illness
Beloved Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji has been spotted publicly for the first time in months after reportedly battling mental illness.
Genevieve Nnaji was seen delivering a speech at an event in Abidjan recently, looking chubbier and healthy.
The Nigerian actress, director, and producer spoke to delegates at the 2022 edition of Creative Africa Nexus, discussing the importance of the film industry to development in Africa.
The Creative Africa Nexus is a gathering of Africa’s brightest creative minds, business and political leaders, policymakers, and thought leaders to drive global expansion and trade in the creative and cultural industries.
The viral photos have sent her fans into a frenzy as they were happy to see the actress after many months.
One Kim wrote “I am the happiest right now. She is even looking more chubby. May God continually be with her and be with her through whatever she may be going through.”
One Bola wrote “Are we sure she wasn’t on maternity all along? This chubbiness looks like that of a nursing mum. She’s very good at keeping her life private & that’s one of the many things I like about her. I am glad she is healthy and fine.”
There were unconfirmed reports that Genevieve Nnaji was reportedly staying off the public eye to take care of her mental health after she suddenly deleted all her posts on Instagram.
A few weeks ago, Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde gave an update on her colleague, Genevieve Nnaji’s health status.
Responding to a fan’s query, Omotola said she doesn’t have anything to say about it. She, however, assured the fan that the actress would speak to them anytime soon.
The fan wrote, “Say something on Genevieve’s condition please”.
She replied, “Don’t have anything to say to you unfortunately but I’m sure she’ll speak to her fans very soon”.
An Instagram blogger, Gistlover, had said the actress was hospitalized in the United States over psychiatric conditions.
