Ghanaian actress Yvonne Chinyere Okoro Okereke has taken legal action against a popular vlogger over a Facebook post she claims falsely attributed deeply personal statements to her.
The post, dated May 15, 2025, features a lengthy quote that portrays the star as having been “dumped many times” and grappling with heartbreak, a portrayal her legal team says is entirely fabricated.
In a sharply worded letter sent by Mo Law Consult, legal representatives for Ms. Okoro, the firm accuses Naija Boss Vlog of publishing a “false and defamatory” statement under the pretense of a direct personal admission from the actress. The quote in question narrates a vulnerable tale of repeated romantic disappointment and personal growth — sentiments that Okoro flatly denies ever expressing.
The excerpt, which has since circulated widely on social media, begins: “Yes, I’ve been dumped, many times. I am 40 years for God’s sake…” and goes on to frame a heartfelt journey through emotional pain and resilience, signed off as if spoken by Yvonne Okoro herself.
But Okoro’s legal team insists there is no truth to the statements or their attribution. “Our Client categorically states that she has never made such comments, whether publicly or privately,” the legal notice reads. “The attribution of these statements to her is entirely false and defamatory.”

According to her lawyers, the damage goes beyond mere gossip. The unauthorized post, they argue, misrepresents Okoro’s private life, threatens her public image, and carries the risk of inflicting “significant and irreparable harm” to her career and personal reputation.
As part of the legal demand, the actress’s solicitors have issued three clear requirements:
a. The immediate and permanent removal of the said post from your vlog and any other associated platforms;
b. A full and unreserved public apology acknowledging that the statements are false and defamatory; and
c. The publication of the said apology on your vlog and on all other platforms where the defamatory material has appeared or is likely to have reached.
A deadline of 7 p.m. today, May 16, has been set for compliance. Failure to meet the demands, the letter warns, will result in legal action without further warning.
The case reflects a growing trend in African entertainment circles, where public figures are increasingly resorting to legal means to counteract misinformation and reputational damage caused by online commentary. In an era where social media blur the lines between fact and fiction, celebrities like Okoro are drawing firm boundaries around their narratives.
