Nollywood actor Aremu Afolayan, the younger sibling of celebrated filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, is currently the subject of intense scrutiny online following the emergence of a viral video. The clip, captured at a recent celebrity event, shows the actor making what many viewers have deemed an inappropriate physical gesture toward fellow actress Bimbo Thomas.
The Incident
The controversial moment reportedly occurred during the star-studded 40th birthday celebration of actress Folorunsho Adeola, also known as Arike Gold. In the footage, which was initially shared by an Instagram fashion page, Aremu is seen posing for photographs alongside actresses Laide Bakare and Bimbo Thomas. During the interaction, he appears to touch Thomas on her chest, a move that has sparked immediate outrage.
Social Media Erupts
The video has triggered a heated debate across social media platforms. While some users dismissed it as a playful moment between close friends or an accidental slip, the majority of reactions have been critical, condemning the lack of boundaries and proper decorum.
