Actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has announced her decision to halt her frequent giveaways following recent criticism over her support for President Bola Tinubu. Despite facing backlash for openly declaring her endorsement of the former Lagos State Governor, the scrutiny intensified after Nigerians took to social media to express frustration over economic challenges.
Amidst the backlash, one user urged Toyin to cease her money distributions, claiming that many of her followers use fake accounts to troll her. Another user suggested that Toyin’s giveaways were merely an attempt at “damage control” to salvage her reputation.
In response, Toyin candidly declared, “I won’t do giveaways again. Thank you.” In a subsequent post, she reiterated her decision, highlighting the relentless bullying she has endured for her political affiliations. Reflecting on past instances where she faced similar backlash for supporting different candidates, Toyin expressed dismay over the continued harassment she receives for her personal choices.
Her decision to discontinue giveaways underscores the toll of online bullying and the need to prioritize mental well-being amidst public scrutiny.
