Ogunmola’s new YouTube movie The Bloom After, which premiered on February 6, features her as Inara—a woman navigating life after her husband of 20 years leaves her for another woman. The film follows her journey of self-discovery and re-entering the dating world. Etim-Effiong portrays Nachi, one of her love interests, with their scenes together—including kisses—prompting questions from some viewers about the nature of their relationship off-screen.
One social media user on X raised concerns about the frequency of their on-screen intimacy, writing: “To be honest, you and Daniel kissing movies is too much and it’s looking like you guys are an item. Why didn’t you kiss the 1st guy ‘Anthony’ in your new movie. Remember that was how Yul and Judy started. Feelings can develop. You guys should tune it down.”
“You are an absolute retard!! You watched to tweet stupidity and it shows. What is the entire film about you nitwit!! you want to reduce my entire work to kissing. You are an absolute fool and all of you thinking like that. What foolish item, We don’t even talk outside of work!” she responded.
