Tonto Dikeh shocked Mercy Johnson and most of the world this morning when seemingly out of nowhere, she penned an apology to the actress on Instagram.
Tonto’s apology stemmed from an incident in 2013 when during the midst of a twitter feud with Johnson, she described her then four month old baby Purity as a ‘witch’.
Dikeh, taking to her page, wrote that having become a mother herself, she has realised how horrible her actions were and thus wanted to unreservedly apologise.
She wrote:
Good morning world, since I have your undivided attention I better make good use of it and not miss the blessing in this lesson!!!
@mercyjohnsonokojie Ever since I had my baby I have been reminded constantly about an ill statement I made about one of your kids a very long time ago. I want to use this media to say I am so sorry. I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart. I had no right to say what I did; I totally disgraced myself with that.
As a mom I do realize a lot of things I take in because of the love of my son and I know you only took my insult because of that same love..
I am sorry MJ, I am sorry to your lil’ girl or boy..
We don’t have to love each other to realize when we are/went wrong.
I have/had no excuse for my behaviour and I also apologize to the fans I hurt/Let down with my words that day many years ago ..To Err is human but to forgive is divine!!!
Am not trying to be the better person, you deserve this apology for your Child for the Love I have for God.. I found God and everything in my life changed, Let me tell you about him sometime..God bless you and yours!!! Happy New Year…
Take your time with the process of forgiving my ill-mannered words to your infant but pls eventually do!!”
Luckily for her, Johnson took no time in responding and was quiet gracious in accepting her apology.
She wrote in response…
