Nollywood actress Uche Jombo has reacted after alleged leaked photos and videos of the wife of late actor Alex Ekubo surfaced online following his recent service of songs.
The actress expressed disappointment over the circulation of the woman’s identity, noting that Alex Ekubo had intentionally kept his wife away from public view despite years of media attention around his personal life.
Taking to social media, Uche Jombo questioned why bloggers chose to publish the images despite what she described as clear efforts to protect the woman’s privacy.
“A husband who has been through public scrutiny kept his wife private (to protect her). None of his close friends ever shared her picture. She wore a face mask to his service of songs. Yet somehow, the privacy message didn’t register with bloggers. I woke up today to see her videos and pictures all over my timeline as breaking news,” she wrote.
According to her, Alex Ekubo’s decision to keep his wife out of the spotlight should have been respected as a clear indication that he wanted her identity protected from public exposure.
Her comments have since sparked conversations online, with social media users debating the boundaries between public interest and personal privacy, especially when it concerns celebrities and their families.
While some users argued that public figures naturally attract attention, others agreed with Uche Jombo’s position, insisting that the late actor’s effort to maintain his wife’s privacy should have been honored.
