Nollywood actress and producer Toyin Abraham has denied owing money to a fashion designer who accused her of buying a dress without paying for it.
In a social media post the fashion designer identified as @stitchesbyandra stated that Toyin Abraham for a year and two months had been avoiding paying the debt running into millions of naira.
“@toyin_abraham @annieidibial @gabrielanthonys, my patience is running out already. 1 year and 2 months. How can you be with someone’s millions and feel so reluctant,” @stitchesbyandra wrote.
Toyin Abraham responded that she never bought the dresses but only borrowed them for a scene in her movie “Malaika.”
“Hello everyone, I want to address the recent allegations about an unpaid debt to a fashion designer. The situation has been completely misunderstood.
“During the production of Malaika, there was a runway scene, and we needed dresses. We contacted a couple of designers, including Tiannah, to provide the dresses.
“Additionally, Gabriel, who was part of the team, mentioned that a friend of his also wanted to contribute some dresses, and she did. I even bought a hairpiece from her, for which I paid in full. As for the dresses she provided, they were borrowed for the shoot, and once we finished using them, I handed them back to Gabriel, who brought them to us.
“Upon seeing the online allegations online, I called Gabriel immediately for clarification. Gabriel confirmed that he informed the designer that the dresses had already been returned to him and subsequently borrowed by someone else. Therefore, it is no longer my responsibility. I hope this clears the confusion,” the actress wrote.
