Nollywood actress, Ruby Ojiakor has finally addressed rumours that late actor Junior Pope was in an extramarital relationship with her.
Rumours emerged that Ruby was Junior Pope’s girlfriend after she relentlessly used her platform to demand justice for the actor who died in a boat accident while on set.
The late actor’s wife, Jennifer further fueled the rumours after unfollowing Ruby on Instagram shortly after her husband’s burial.
Addressing the rumours in a video message shared via her Instagram page, Ruby insisted that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend.
She also debunked claims that the late actor isn’t the father of her child, Royalty.
“Junior Pope was never my boyfriend. There’s no intimacy between myself and Junior Pope. We never dated. Junior Pope was never my intimate friend. He was just my friend. He was more than a friend. He was my big brother,” she said.
“I also see a lot of posts, some persons will just screenshot and send to me and say, ‘Look at what they’re saying, they said he [Junior Pope] is Royalty’s father.’ I just looked at it and I laughed. How can people reason this way? Please and please, Junior Pope is not Royalty’s father. He’s not my daughter’s father. I just want to clarify this.”
