Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has slammed a content creator for falsely listing her as HIV positive in a viral post. The actress, known for her advocacy on health awareness, took to Instagram to vehemently deny the claims and vowed to take legal action. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Background of the Controversy

In 2019, Amusa publicly shared a video of herself taking an HIV test, which confirmed her negative status. She used the opportunity to encourage her fans to get tested and break the stigma around HIV/AIDS.

However, a recent post by an unnamed content creator included her name in a list of alleged HIV-positive individuals, sparking outrage.
Amusa’s Fiery Response

In an emotional Instagram video, the actress issued a strong warning:

“He will be my scapegoat and serve as a lesson to others. I am not HIV positive.”

She condemned the spread of false information, emphasizing how damaging such claims are to her mental health and family.

She questioned why content creators recklessly share unverified allegations without consequences.

Legal Action Imminent?

While Amusa did not confirm if she has filed a lawsuit, her statement suggests she intends to hold the creator accountable. False claims about someone’s health status can lead to defamation lawsuits, especially when they harm a person’s reputation.

Fans and colleagues have rallied behind her, condemning irresponsible content creation and calling for stricter measures against fake news.

I fully support her on this, some of these content creators need to be taught a very bitter lesson

Out of many rumours is an iota of truth. All these nollywood actors and actresses are so promiscuous. One of them was sighted in a neighbouring Ibadan town at a heart to heart centre where we went to install a linear incinerator in a hospital. What was she doing thrlere, sitting so relaxed alongside other patients, listening to an anchor?. The centre is also used by the recently canceled APIN/PEPFAR by trump globally which subsidises ARVs for hiv patients.

I learnt in order to avoid stigma and being noticed, the infected celebs go to unknown clinics outside their domain to get registered for drugs and counselling.

All I'd say is, everyone should just be careful. 10 minutes enjoyment isn't worth destroying your previous life for,due to promiscuity. No more subsidised ARVs , meaning hiv related deaths will resume asap, the way it first started, decades ago. No award for sexx my people. Live responsibly

It's because of people like you that believe everything on social media that that boy deserved to be punished. Many people like you belong to Facebook not Nairaland or twitter. That's where they run along with fake news n rumours
