Popular Nigerian actor and politician, Desmond Elliot, has finally broken his silence on the recent allegations suggesting he is gay. In an interview with TVC, Elliot dismissed the rumors as unfounded and expressed his frustration with the baseless claims.

The actor emphasized that he doesn’t feel compelled to address such rumors, stating, “Why would I respond to allegations made against me when it did not reduce or increase my life?”

While acknowledging the right of individuals to self-identify, Elliot clarified his own sexual orientation. He stated, “I’m straight… you can never have anyone straighter than me.” He also urged for mutual respect, stating that while people can identify as they choose, it’s important to maintain respect for others.

The allegations emerged from a blog post that listed several Nigerian celebrities, including Elliot, as allegedly gay. The post sparked significant online discussion and debate, with many taking to social media to express their opinions.
