Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has corrected the impression that she dislikes married women and single women after critics accused her of shaming them.

The actress recently stated in an Instagram post that she might decide to become a single mother due to loneliness since doing the right thing has no reward.

Her statement, however, came off to critics as shaming single ladies and married women.

In a bid to clear the air, Moyo stated that marriage is beautiful and also challenging the actress also questioned those who cheat on their partners in spite of their marital status.

“Had to correct this NARRATIVE because I see some comments and ….. I get so confused. I am correcting a few wrong assumptions. Marriage is beautiful and challenging. I grew up with both of my parents, a few of my closest friends are married and my younger sister is also married.

“However, I never understood married women who slut-shame single ladies when in reality we know how some (married) women still have sex with other people despite the vows they made. It’s the audacity of their hypocrisy for me. How dare you judge another woman when we all know how tough this life is for every woman.

Speaking on the challenges of being a single mother, Moyo said that single mothers should be rewarded for their efforts and the responsibilities they take on. She also said she has not dated anyone in two years because she is trying to heal.

“How can anyone mock a single mother? Is it easy to raise a child not to talk of raising a child alone? I am not even talking about the financial responsibility yet, what about the trauma? I think that single mothers should be awarded because it is not easy. What I am running from is raising kids.

“I love to be in love and being loved, and that is why I am yet to be married because I am a huge lover girl. I could starve because of love, or not date anyone for two years because I am trying to heal,” she said.
