Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has addressed the swirling rumors regarding her alleged extramarital relationship with the late actor Junior Pope, who tragically died in a boat accident while on set.
Speculations about a romantic involvement between Ruby and Junior Pope began circulating after Ruby fervently used her social media platform to call for justice following the actor’s untimely death. These rumors gained further traction when Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer, unfollowed Ruby on Instagram shortly after her husband's burial.
In a heartfelt video message shared on her Instagram page, Ruby Ojiakor firmly denied any romantic connection with Junior Pope. She clarified their relationship, stating, “Junior Pope was never my boyfriend. There’s no intimacy between myself and Junior Pope. We never dated. Junior Pope was never my intimate friend. He was just my friend. He was more than a friend. He was my big brother.”
Ruby also addressed and refuted claims regarding the paternity of her child, Royalty. “I also see a lot of posts, some persons will just screenshot and send to me and say, ‘Look at what they’re saying, they said he [Junior Pope] is Royalty’s father.’ I just looked at it and I laughed. How can people reason this way? Please and please, Junior Pope is not Royalty’s father. He’s not my daughter’s father. I just want to clarify this,” she stated.
Ruby’s candid clarification aims to put an end to the unfounded rumors and bring focus back to her and her late friend's professional and respectful relationship.
