Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold has become the latest star to publicly call out colleague Ekene Umenwa, following alleged “cheap and dirty gossip” regarding her personal life. In a fiery social media post shared on Saturday, February 21, 2026, Gold addressed rumors concerning her hygiene and her children, labeling Umenwa a “terrible human being.”
The “Body Odour” Allegation
The most sensational part of the dispute involves claims regarding Lizzy Gold’s personal hygiene. The actress expressed disbelief that such a narrative was being circulated within the industry.
“Body odour??? Everyone in Nollywood knows my personal hygiene is 100%,” she stated. “It’s not even something I need to prove to anyone.”
Rumors Regarding Children and Paternity
Lizzy Gold also moved to debunk claims suggesting that her two children were fathered by different men. She questioned the source of Umenwa’s information, highlighting that the two actresses are not close enough for such intimate knowledge.
“That my two kids are from different men?? How?? Are we friends? Do you know anything about me?” she asked, adding that she intentionally maintains her distance from certain colleagues to avoid the exact “drama” she is currently facing.
The “Jesus Baby” Critique
A recurring theme in the recent wave of allegations against Ekene Umenwa is the irony of her religious public persona. Lizzy Gold echoed the sentiments of previous accusers by mocking Umenwa’s “Jesus Baby” nickname.
“How can you call yourself JESUS BABY and all you do is sit down and fabricate huge lies just to tarnish your colleague’s image? JESUS BABY my foot. You better ask God for forgiveness and mercy.”
Context: A Growing List of Accusers
Lizzy Gold’s outburst marks the third major public confrontation involving Ekene Umenwa in a single week. The industry is currently tracking a pattern of “character assassination” allegations:
- Alexer Peres: Accused Umenwa of using lies to sabotage her relationship with Destiny Etiko.
- Evan Okoro: Conducted a live HIV test to debunk rumors of a “serious illness” allegedly spread by Umenwa.
- Lizzy Gold: Now accuses her of fabricating stories about her hygiene and family structure.
Current Status
As of the time of filing this report, Ekene Umenwa has maintained a public silence regarding the specific allegations from Lizzy Gold, Evan Okoro, and Alexer Peres. Supporters of Lizzy Gold have flooded social media with testimonials regarding her professionalism and character, while the broader Nollywood community remains divided over the “toxic” nature of these unfolding feuds.
