Actress Funke Akindele Gives Reasons Why She Has Been Avoiding The Media

Popular Nollywood actress and producer, Funke Akindele, has said that she has been busy working at locations and sees no reason to put herself in the news for wrong reasons.

The actress, popularly known as Jenifa, in an interview with one of the national dailies last weekend, said insinuations that she has resentment against journalists over her marriage breakup in 2013 or has something to hide, was out of tune with reality.

“I have just been busy and I don’t think I have ever shown any sign that suggests I hold a grudge against any journalist. The media made us and we appreciate that. But saying that I have something to hide or avoiding them is not true,” she said.

According to the actress, she has a publicist who handles her media affair and relies on their advice.

“I have a publicist who handles my media affair, if there is the need for me to speak, they will surely ask me to do so,” Akindele stated.

Meanwhile, the actress recently revealed that she’s bringing back her hugely successful portrayal of the character, Jenifa, in a reality show format titled Jenifa TV Series as well as a radio talk show.
