Kannywood actress, Safiya Yusuf, in a piece of recent information has opened up about her battle with depression after her nude video leaked online.
Speaking with BBC Hausa, Safiyya said she did not release the nude video herself, and accused her friends and associates who have access to her phone of leaking the video.
Meanwhile, during her ordeal, Safiyya, who was suspended from a popular Arewa24 movie series, said she was stoned by an aggrieved person after the video leaked and she was also subjected to cyberattacks and had to stay indoors for three months.
According to her, “70 percent of ladies nowadays have such types of videos on their phones. It is just done for fun, not to go on social media and many ladies do that. I can’t specifically say the person that released the video, but all I know is that it must be one of my friends and associates that take my phone because I give them my phone.
“I was deeply shocked when I saw the video and how it went viral all over the world. In fact, when I received the news I could not stand on my feet. I experienced a lot of challenges, people were mocking me. There was a time that someone even stoned me, all because of that video. I had to spend three months indoors without going near the gate of our house.”
The actress further revealed that she almost deactivated her social media accounts after she was heavily criticized online but was dissuaded by her family.
