My Kids Are Bullied In School – Veteran Actress, Mercy Johnson Cries Out Over False Rumors (Video)

Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson has revealed that her children are facing bullying at school due to false narratives circulating about her on social media.

The actress disclosed this on Monday morning while speaking about the negative impact of false news against her on social media.

This came a few days after she was dragged online for arresting a Tiktoker who defamed her and her husband with a rumor allegedly reported by popular blogger, Cutie Juls.

However, revealing her reason for making the arrest, the actress in a video on her Instagram page explained that her children are being bullied in school because she is being tagged as a witch by trolls on the Internet.

Warning netizens to keep her family name out of their mouth, Mercy alleged that some of the Nigeria blogs publishing false news against her are owned by her colleagues.

While threatening that he who alleged must prove in court, she noted that “Please I’m begging you because subsequently, I’m not going to listen to anybody. I’m going to let the law take its full course.

“I don’t understand why you people love to tear down and destroy. I have kids. When you write these lies, I have teenagers who are being bullied in school because of the things that you write. There are parents who tell their kids not to let my kids touch their school bags because I’m a witch. I just need my name out of your mouth. This is off for now, but every other person who has alleged must prove. So, I still have more cases for 2026 because I won’t let my kids get bullied because of your lies.

“I have always been in my lane. My priorities are my husband and my kids. Nothing concerns me and una. I don’t care who is doing better. Please leave my name, my husband’s name out of your mouth. She’s off but that doesn’t make my other cases off, they are still on, and I’m going about it according to the law. How can you not know that actresses own these blogs?

“Actresses owned these blogs, colleagues owned these blogs, people who just don’t like you own these blogs, and they can be paid to say whatever. You have seen it before. People have come out to accuse bloggers of collecting money and writing things they want them to write.

“When I was getting married, I don’t think I had an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with anybody to say we’re going to go in there, I’m not going to stay married, I’m going to leave. I got in alone. So, it means I have no business with anybody.

“There’s no reason why you wake up every morning and count the years for me and say we’re going to try and break it up, because it’s something you can’t just break. Your lies, and propaganda are not working this side. I need no validation from anyone and I know who I am”, she said.
