Award-winning actress and producer, Funke Akindele, has opened up about how criticism and social media bullying shaped her career and mental resilience. 


Speaking during an appearance on the Chude Live Conversation show, Akindele shared emotional insights into her personal battles and triumphs.


Reflecting on her past, Akindele revealed that constant jabs about her marital challenges once left her heartbroken. 


“There were times I couldn’t hold back the tears,” she admitted. 


Online users would often mock her over her private life, particularly her marriage history, pushing her to a breaking point.


Instead of letting the negativity consume her, Akindele sought professional help, deciding to channel her pain into creativity.


 Therapy, she said, played a huge role in her healing process and helped her rediscover her strength. “Talking about it changed everything,” she explained.


The filmmaker noted that the hardships fueled her determination to succeed even more. 


What many intended to use against her, she turned into powerful storytelling, pouring her experiences into movie scripts that resonated with millions. 


Today, Akindele boasts major milestones, including blockbuster hits that have shattered box office records in Nigeria.


She urged her fans and anyone facing similar struggles not to bottle up their emotions. “It’s okay to ask for help. It doesn’t make you weak,” she advised.


Funke Akindele’s story is one of grit, growth, and transformation, proving that setbacks can indeed become setups for greater achievements when faced with courage and wisdom.
