December 06, (THEWILL) – Popular actress, Stella Damasus, has cautioned the public against calling her Damascus.
The actress took to her social media account on Sunday saying that people have been spelling her name in the wrong manner. She also tasked the public to always use the right spelling when addressing her.
“My name is Stella Damasus, not Damascus,” she wrote in a terse Twitter post.
THEWILL writes that the film star is famous for her views on socio-political issues affecting Nigeria and Africa.
In July, she came under criticism for allegedly promoting a video of a wife beating her cheating husband.
Some critics had berated her for allegedly supporting domestic violence against men.
However, the actress refuted the claim saying that her support for the movie was based on its difference from the usual narrative that women are always the victim of various forms of assaults.
“Posting that video was not to promote any form of domestic violence. I have been in the movie industry for about 27 years now and for long, our movies from Nigeria and Africa always portray women as the victim,” she had said.
