Exclusive: Kate Henshaw vs Emma Ugolee: the Betrayal of a Friend, what would you do?

In an industry where the media has the ability to change peoples perception about you, what would you do if someone close to you teamed up with someone with full access to the media in an attempt to tarnish your image and ruin everything you have worked very hard to build? Sounds like something from a Nollywood movie right? Well, no it is not. This is the true story of Nigerian media personality Emma Ugolee and his erstwhile friend Nigerian Actress Kate Henshaw.

One of our staffers has been following this story very closely after she was notified that a blogger who writes for one of the weekly magazines in Nigeria, a nation of over 170 million people, just confessed on her blog that a few years ago she had helped a former friend (who is also a well known Actress) in an evil plot to ruin Emma Ugolee.  (You can view screenshot of the confession here). She stated that she had since then called Emma to apologize for the role she played and they have made up. She however, was evasive about who the Actress was. We did some investigations and were able to get our hands on a message Emma Ugolee sent to his close friends. Apparently, the message was triggered by the confession he had read from the blogger. Below is the FULL message Emma Ugolee sent to close friends. We have it here exclusively on Entertaining Africa

_________ message from Emma Ugolee________

5years ago 2day is a day I never forget, not because its was the eve of the day of my birth but because of a phone call I received.

The head of PR for the company I work for was on the other side of the phone. The strain on his voice reflected the weight on his chest as he told me about a story at the verge of breaking with the soft sell mags.

In a nuts shell it was to showcase the ultimate villain “Emma Ugolee” who had blackmailed a certain raspy voiced actress and her colleagues into giving him N28m after a failed attempt to date her and another failed attempt to rape her.

Prior to this was 9yrs of a query free working life and a reputation of being there for total strangers without the incentive of a kick back. The one reputation my relationship with the entire entertainment industry hinged on. And particular sensitivity to the fragile physical nature of a woman. (See I was one of those brought up in a strrrrrrong Christian home)

So the shock of this mercilessly cooked up lie to me and all who knew me is still unequaled.

Faced a panel for 2momths and what hurt about most of the jokes @ work with me at the butt of it was not just the criminal insinuations but the individuals who cracked them. Some were bosom pals.

Drowned in the hullabaloo of the  drama that ensued, the only dissenting voice to say “I am innocent” was mine.

Well meaning friends came up with all kinds of solutions to the wrong. Ranging from confrontations to amputation.

I decided against it all and went with my mums advice to cry to the heaves and be silent.

So I carried along with me the shame of being tagged a thief and rapist for 5years.

Then one day last month. .I woke up to several missed calls last month. Something had to be wrong coz I am talking an average of 25 different numbers before 8am.

I sat up in a hurry cleaning my face with one hand and stretching for my glasses with the other.
Much more were sms’s, most of them with this forwarded link….  (Click here to view a screen shot of Link)

I thought God was done with judging the matter when I was declared innocent of any fraud by the 7man committee that went as far as printing phone details and bank accounts and the said actress became the 1st to be kicked out as an ambassador of the brand.

But there had to be a grander closure as you have probably seen from the link. Stella Dimoko Kokus told the world how she had been deceived into being part of a well thought out conspiracy to make me loose my job.

Why? Coz I had asked my friend who was sleeping with the actress years back to quit as she was married at the time. Well, he told her and she never forgot it. Hence the home video script.

I heard all sorts from Stella. Interested in details?  (Click to view a screen shot of details)

So I kept my job, cleared my name, she was booted out as brand ambassador, she fell out with Stella (who by the way I am cool with for having the balls to ask forgiveness), and told the world the truth on her own 5 whole years after.

Well me, I didn’t raise a finger. Just took my mothers advice and that my good friends is the reason I write this story.

Nothing stops the cry of the innocent from falling on Gods ears and his word says. “For [the] eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous ones, and his ears are toward their supplication;+ but [the] face of Jehovah is against those doing bad things.” 1Pet3:12

He would always act. Learn to wait on him as he always reserves the last laugh for the innocent.

Sum1 help me though beg my colleagues dat spread d accusation to also spread the acquittal.

57 requests so I choose to concede and disclose that the lady who has thought me some of life’s deepest lessons and unveiled the true colors of everyone around me to whom I owe the great gratitude of speeding up my mental growth and emotional stability, who showed me how desperate the human specie can be, who showed me that the more people malign and fight u, the more GOD promotes u is beautiful Kate Hensaw. My regards if she is your friend.
