During a recent appearance on Oyinmomo TV, the actress recounted a shocking incident on a movie set.

“I was on a movie set where I had already shot about five scenes the previous day. When I returned the next day to continue filming, the producer came and instructed them to delete all the scenes I had done.

She told them to remove me from the production. We never had any fight prior to that. And it wasn’t just her, her friends were also there and they supported her decision.

There’s no such thing as ‘women supporting women’ in our industry,” Johnson said.

The actress also addressed rumors about cosmetic surgery, explaining that her procedure was solely personal.

“I have a big belly and I felt like removing the fat from it. I only worked on my stomach, not my whole body, and I did it for personal reasons.

I like looking good. It wasn’t done to impress anyone or to ‘pepper’ people. It was purely for myself,” she clarified.
