I Won’t Trade My Values For Stardom – Actress Queeneth Agbor Denies Sleeping Her Way To Fame

Nollywood actress Queeneth Agbor has dismissed claims that she traded her dignity for fame, describing the rumours as malicious and absurd.

In an interview with Saturday PUNCH, Agbor said she has learnt to shield her peace by ignoring social media falsehoods.

“Over the years, I’ve learnt to protect my inner peace like my life depends on it,” she said.

“I block social media dramas and refuse to address false narratives because, honestly, how many times can I correct lies? It’s their data, their cheap mindset, so I leave it as their headache, not mine.”

The actress said the speculations surrounding her love life are often so wild that even she finds them unbelievable.

“I’ve read things that even shocked me. Sometimes I wonder if it’s really me they’re talking about or there’s another me somewhere,” she said.

Agbor added that trolls have accused her of everything from having multiple marriages to dating extremely older men.

“I heard that I’ve been married twice with kids, dated someone’s husband for 20 years, and even dated a 90-year-old man — at what age? Nine? Lol,” she said.

“I’m not correcting misconceptions because even if I do, it will still be twisted. Let them fabricate lies; it’s their headache. And if anyone is dumb enough to believe it, that’s on them too.”

Speaking on challenges in the industry, Agbor recounted an experience with a top Nollywood producer who pressured her for a relationship.

“There was a big-time producer who wanted me as if his life depended on it. I was frustrated, but my values wouldn’t allow me to cross that line,” she recalled.

Agbor said she sought guidance from her late mother, who encouraged her to respond with wisdom rather than fear.

“My mum prayed for me, gave me wise advice, and even sent me money to buy him a drink, telling me to ask him to bless me as my industry father. I did exactly that. He prayed and blessed me. That moment strengthened my resilience, and it shapes my career to this day.”

On maintaining her sanity, Agbor said she prioritises her emotional wellbeing above everything else.

“I love myself too much to negotiate peace. The moment I sense toxicity, I’m out even before confirming if it’s real or just an oversight,” she said.
