The actress shared that gossip and rumors in the Nollywood industry had driven a wedge between them, leaving her feeling lonely and emotionally isolated.

“Two years ago, we separated as friends because of too many ‘them say’ in Nollywood,” Lizzy wrote.

Known for being reserved, Lizzy Gold admitted that her inability to form close friendships easily left her deeply affected by the fallout.

In contrast, she praised Destiny Etiko for her naturally outgoing nature, confessing that she often admired her from afar.

“I became lonely because I don’t make friends easily like you do. So I channeled all the energy into my craft but missed you. Sometimes I would watch how you mingle so easily and wonder how you do it, but I realized it’s your nature.”

She expressed gratitude that Destiny eventually saw through the deception and returned to their friendship. “Thank God you realized you were deceived and came back to me,” Lizzy added.

The heartfelt post wasn’t just about the past. Lizzy Gold showered Destiny with praises, calling her hardworking, beautiful-souled, and one of the few people who truly understands her.

“I love you for who you are. I love your imperfections. I pray today that God will open His heavens and release more blessings for you and your household.”

She ended the tribute with a firm promise to rise above gossip and negativity moving forward, urging her friend never to allow human “weapons” to divide them again.

“Please do not let any weapon in the form of humans separate us again. I love you, Baby. Happy birthday to my friend, my hardworking colleague, my love.”
