Nollywood veteran Shan George has stirred serious conversation online after calling out divorced women she claims are hiding the real reason their marriages crashed.
—
The outspoken actress and filmmaker did not come to play games. Shan George went straight for the jugular as she called out a certain category of women whose marriages have packed up — women she insists are lesbians who have been pointing accusing fingers at their innocent husbands.
According to the actress, some of these women quietly packed their bags, left their matrimonial homes, and moved in with their female partners — yet they turned around and dragged their ex-husbands’ names through the mud, painting them as the villains of the story.
“Stop Lying and Own Your Truth”
Shan George’s message was clear: accountability matters. In her view, it is deeply unfair for a woman to exit a marriage for personal reasons tied to her own sexuality, and then manufacture stories that damage a man’s reputation in the process.
The actress, who has never been one to mince words, made it known that she has zero tolerance for that kind of behaviour — whether it comes from a man or a woman.
Nigerians React
As expected, her comments set Nigerian social media ablaze. While some agreed with her stance and praised her boldness for speaking on what many consider a taboo subject, others felt she was being insensitive and oversimplifying the complex reasons marriages break down in Nigeria.
Some commenters pointed out that divorce is rarely black and white, and that women — regardless of their sexuality — often face enormous pressure and judgment when marriages end.
Others, however, stood firmly behind Shan George, arguing that honesty and personal responsibility should be non-negotiable, especially when another person’s character is on the line.
Not Her First Time Speaking Boldly
This is far from the first time Shan George has taken a controversial stand on social issues. The Nollywood icon has built a reputation for speaking her mind, whether people like it or not. Love her or hate her, she consistently sparks conversations that Nigerians are often too polite — or too afraid — to have openly.
