Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has surprised fans by publicly apologizing to fellow actress Mercy Johnson, her husband, and politician Ned Nwoko — while notably leaving Regina Daniels out of her apology.
For years, Angela Okorie has openly criticized Mercy Johnson, making serious accusations about her and her family. She had repeatedly hurled harsh claims at Mercy and even dragged her mother into the conflict, insisting they were far from innocent in their past misunderstandings.
The feud didn’t stop there — Angela’s resentment extended to Mercy’s husband, whom she also insulted. When Regina Daniels attempted to mediate between the two actresses, Angela redirected her anger at Regina’s husband, Ned Nwoko, calling him an “old man,” a comment that fueled even more drama on social media.
In an unexpected twist, Angela recently took responsibility for her actions and shared a heartfelt apology in a lengthy Instagram post.
She wrote:
“Hi beautiful people, these past days have been a period of intense reflection for me. Lately, having reminisced on certain events that had transpired, I can only thank God that I am alive. It’s no secret that there have been some difficult issues circulating on social media between Mercy Johnson and myself. Moving forward, I would like to address this matter.
I am human, and when my emotions take over, I speak from the heart, often saying things directly as they come to me, especially when I felt hurt. Once I’ve expressed myself, I forget about it and move on, but I realize now that my utterances — whether said from a place of pain or not — were hurtful.
Some events that have happened these past days made me realize that I should have done better. I feel so sorry having realized how this got to you, Mercy. Your mental health is very important now and always, and I wouldn’t wish you and your family worse — that’s not my nature, and you know it. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me.”
Angela’s post has since attracted an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities, many praising her courage and humility for offering such a public apology.
However, many noticed that Angela did not mention Regina Daniels in her statement, sparking fresh speculation about where their relationship now stands.
