A Brother’s Grief Turns to Public Outcry
The trouble started when Allwell’s brother posted a video online. He was very emotional. He saw many famous stars posting sad messages about his sister. He asked them, “Where were you when my sister needed you?” He thinks these stars did not help her when she was alive. He said it is better to help someone while they are living than to post sad pictures after they are dead.
Allegations of Unreciprocated Generosity
The brother also said his family was very kind to the movie industry for a long time. He said they let actors use their family home to film movies for free or for a low cost. He feels that even though Allwell helped many people, those people did not help her back. He thinks she was ignored when she needed jobs or support to grow her own career.
Iyabo Ojo Responds to the Allegations
A famous actress named Iyabo Ojo was one of the people mentioned. She decided to speak up and defend herself. She said she was a good friend to Allwell. She explained that she acted in many of Allwell’s movies for free to help her. She also said she gave her money and emotional support in private. She believes that true friends help each other quietly and do not need to show everything on social media.
