WAS MERCY RIGHT?
It is being reported that some months ago, Mercy Johnson slapped a make-up artiste and smashed her Blackberry during a film shoot. According to the report, the make-up artiste was recording a video of the actress on her Blackberry, while the actress was doing a romantic scene. The actress is reported to have slapped the make-up artiste, and smashed her phone, saying - "This is how it all begins, ... Before you know it they will start writing lies about me in the press"
Assuming the story is true, it raises several questions. Why was the make-up artiste recording a video of the actress anyway? What did she intend to do with the video she was recording? What if the video had gotten into the wrong hands? Was Mercy Johnson right to have slapped her? Should Mercy have smashed the Blackberry? What would you have done?

ReplyDeleteU̶̲̥̅̊ Α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ the same as her
DeleteOver reacting
If that make up artist had beent son of ɑ̤̥̈̊ senator could she had done that?
Birds or the same kind that intimidate other and show power
Mercy whoever she is has Ɲφ right †̥ do that and Ɣ☺ΰ guy should see beyond your lust for stars and say the truth for once
Yes, she was right to do that.If i was Mercy J, i would even've done more than that. lol
DeleteI don't know wat 2 say but I think mercy is right. Cos u can't trust any body.
ReplyDeleteMercy was totally right $ i would do exactly d same fing if i was in ha shoes.cos if a video lk dt got 2 d press,d scandal wld b a story 4 anoda tym.thumbs up babes,u didnt even do enuf 2 d makeup artist.besides dt wasnt wat she was paid 2 b dia 4
ReplyDeleteu are very right to have done so or even more than that.
ReplyDeleteShe is a 110 percent right. Dat gal na thief. I wud ve done more,lik lock her up
ReplyDeleteshe is right u can't trust anybody
ReplyDeleteshe is right for slapping her bitch,dis is hw scandalise wit stars names.dats serves her right
ReplyDeletethats is exactly what happenes when u do work assigned to others instead of urs. Bravo Mercy!!!!!!.
ReplyDeleteMercy was right. When its business, lets do business n nothing else
ReplyDeleteShe shouldn't have slap the lady. There are better ways of solving problems. Afterall, we will still watch it, so if she doesn't want to be talked about that way, then she should back-off.
ReplyDeleteI love ur comment u said it right
DeleteI don like your comment,i love it
Deletethis is very correct.. am in surport of ur comment.. there are 1001 ways to go about such things.. its nt rght to slap pipu like dat all in d name of an actress or a celebrity. she could av bin in dat lady's position, will she like to be treated like dat? that was a wrong move.
DeleteI love u for dat comment dats pure arrogance common, even if d artist didn't film her,its a film any way n anybody can watch,if d artist meant any harm she cld hv even recorded it on her tv in her house, is it not just to buy d movie? Dats crap
DeleteYes, Mercy is right but then she should'nt have slapped her. The smashing of the BB was enough. I don't blame her cuz she(Mercy) was pushed and besides, she's human and I could't have controlled her anger @ that point in time.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't ought 2 hv done such a fing, all she nid do dat time is 2 inquiry why she did such a mess. And moreover in d other hand, she was right 2 hv done such a fing cos she might hv lost her temper as at dat time. Obviously, not everybody is a cool hearted man. I didn't blam her dat much but d other lady.

SHE WAS WRONG BY SLAPPING HER,THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO DEAL WITH SUCH PROBLEMS WITHOUT FIGHTING.SHE MADE A FOOL OF HERSELF,OTHERS SHOULD TAKE CORRECTION,ENOUGH OF OUR SO CALLED CELEBRITIES BEHAVING IN AN ODD MANNER. NON-SENSE
ReplyDeletehey, its all abt mercy nw and nt our celebrities as u v jst mentiond. hv u heard abt d so calld Hollywood celebs, jst a quick reminder dat naomi campbell ddnt only slap her maid bt smashed her head wt her phone wen she threw it at her in anger... mercy ws right in all ramification. d pix ws taken without her consent and it is legally wrong even in Nigeria legal system being as porous as it is.

ReplyDeleteI don't see how slapping her and smashing her bb helped..she could have deleted d video,and sent her out,do something else anything apart from acting like a child.
ReplyDeleteit helped alot. bb smashed, hence video gone.
Deletesleeping her does nt make any sense.
DeleteVery Very right, wat rubbish! Is a lesson to her "D make-up artist" she 'll now discipline herself.
ReplyDeleteMercy shouldnt have smashed her BB. she should have collected it and wiped out everything in that phone both audio & Video. I dnt agree with the smashing of her phone but the slap is okay
ReplyDeleteI would have done same or even worst than she have done.she is very right to have done what she did,but anyways..... it was still going to be on air.
ReplyDeleteMercy was right to slapped that bitch
ReplyDeleteThere and then, I would have done the same.
ReplyDeleteIt's not right but okay.... to be in a trusting position and taking advantage of all that for what could end up some where.. I hate to think of is very disconcerting.
The movie industry is moving at a very fast pace and twarts like these need to be put in place!
The slap was a warning not to mess with her. The makeup artist obviously had intentions or else she wouldn't do it. How could the directors producers stand by and watch her do that and not stop her? I do not condone violence but sometimes it is necessary. Good for Mercy!!!!
ReplyDeleteMercy good job, why is she recording good 4 her, she will learn.
ReplyDeletemer was right...shez also my favourite but d fact dat she is doesnt permit me to take a video of her romance scene. it shows ive smetin a mind...d make up artist could only take a pic of her nt a video of her romance scene..gosh dats deep.....
ReplyDeleteIf the story is true, then i don'think Mercy was right to have done what she did to the make-up artiste. There are other civilize way of dealing with incidence like this. Where were the directors when this took place; I think they were the ones to take care of this issue.
ReplyDeletei think we are all judging frm d point of an aftermath, at dat particular point in time is what we shld be talkin abt. as a married woman jst like mercy, will u play d gentle and not d temperamental one in a case like dat? pls lets be real. its a spontaneous action and she is justified anytime any day and anywhere PRONTO!
DeleteYes Yes Yes Yes a Million times Yes!
ReplyDeleteYou have rightfully asked the right questions one would seek an answer to and Mercy had all the rights to react the way she did if this were true. maybe imagine the dame this could have caused suppose it was sent on the net with some fake information behind the scene?
Mercy do more slaps to those who try to go beyond their responsibility. SLAP SLAP SLAP
im wt u all d way. as a man and a husband, its beta 4 me 2 read ds particular article abt d slaps and smashing of some1's phone by my wife dan 2 pass by a mag stand and see a romantic pix of my actress wife in d midst of jobless crowd. thumbs up mercy. mercy, mercy me, d babe no go eva try am again. gud job gal.
DeleteShe is right.
ReplyDeleteshe is right, slap a hell out of her
ReplyDeleteShe did the right thing by slapping and smashing the make up artist phone. As for me I will sue her damn ass because she has an evil interior motive, probably to make an x-rated movie with that.
ReplyDeleteThe make up artist needs to be dismiss from the association, GBAM.
What she should ve done is to get d momery of d fun n make sure what d make- up artiste recordd is nt on fon memory as well.. Smashing d fon isnt d right tin to do bc if all i said early is nt done, then it's nonsense.
ReplyDeleted make-up artise is idiot. Good 4 mercy's action.
ReplyDeleteyEA mERCY WAS RIGHT, WHY WILL THE MAKE UP ARTIST RECORD HER, HER JOB TO MAKE HER UP AND NOT TO RECORD HER. THE MAKE UP ARTIST IS UP TO SOMETHING AND SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED.
ReplyDeleteCelebrities are humans too. What did the make-up artist want to achieve with the video? Blackmail or to do business with the press? I thought Nollywood had guidelines regarding who is present, and what can be done by the crew & casts when shooting? If not, the leadership should look into this to prevent future occurrences.
ReplyDeleteMercy Johnson and "the make-up artist" were wrong. The makeup artist shldn't have video MJ, MJ should have reported the makeup artist to the authority, then the authority can decide whether to confisticate the phone or not, and better-still not allow the usage of such media in the studio. MJ can get sued, and the recording company can get sued too.
ReplyDeleteMercy was right,what if the Lady was successful in getting the video out of the there and the particular scene she recorder was not in the film when the film was finally released ?? That will be a big mess on her personality and nobody will belief her story if the bad people decided to blackmail her with the video the make -up artist recorded.The lady should learn her lesson for the slap and the smashing of her BB.
ReplyDeleteMercy good lady , now its glaring that you really want your marriage to succeed and i believe God will make your marriage a success. Smashing the BB and the slap is enough a signal to those who think they can use any means to rubbish one home , i wish you even charge her to court for assault and make her pay more for the embarrassment .
ReplyDeletemercy was right she should have kicked her ass too.
ReplyDeletemercy was right she should have kicked her ass off her work was to make up not to record a video,why people don ma the business.
ReplyDeletegood work mercy if its me i would have done more that me make asshole should do her job and others lol
ReplyDeleteMercy was right to smash the makeup artist's blackberry. It should be mandatory that no one bring their phones on the set. I would not have slapped her. I would have asked the producers to stop shooting and demand that security remove the person from the set and confiscate her phone.
ReplyDeleteMercy u did well by slapin nd smashin her BB. D make-up artist really deserved wat she got nd dat wil put her in place.
ReplyDeletemercy had every right 2 do tht.let it serve as a warning.who knows it culd bring abt a scandal.she is a makeup artist n nt a video shooter.it serves her right.
ReplyDeleteMERCY JOHNSON MY BABY BIG BRAVO......MERCY WAS 1000000 TIMES RIGHT...IN-FACT I WOULD HAVE DONE MORE THAN HER IF I HAPPEN TO BE IN HER SHOES.....THIS PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID..SO TOMORROW SHE WILL PUT IT ON NET AS A SCANDAL...JUST TO BLACK MAIL HER....AND PROPLE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT WAS A MOVIE. AND THE WORLD WILL START SAYING SHIT...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE U MERCY, DEAL WITH THOSE FOOLS IF U SEE ANY OF THEM....ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.....
I feel u.
Deletewhat in Gods name was the motive behind the recording..Directors were you there?and you stand and watch her record?Mercy Did it right.A lesson to a fool.Mind your business next time she will know that she is just a make up artist, nothing more.Bravo Mercy and make sure you throw away the pieces
ReplyDeleteFOR SECURITY REASONS SHE IS RIGHT
ReplyDeleteYES SHE IS RIGHT, THAT WILL TEACH BUSY BODY HUMANBEINGS LIKE THAT MAKEUP ARTIST A TAKE HOME LESSON. THAT DOES SHE WANT 2 DO WITH THE PICTURE?
ReplyDeleteBLACK MAILING I BELIEVE.
Yes she is very right, I would have showed that artist some madness becos dat is how its all start before U know it, pple will say yes its true behind every rumour there is element of truth. Rubish she sud tank God she smash the phone not her head idiot.
ReplyDeletewhat she did was ok infact I would have done the same or worse, was that what the make-up artsit came to do? She was just stupid to have done that silly act. That will serve as a good lesson for those that does things without thinking ahead of the repercaution.
ReplyDeleteU CANT BLAME MERCY 4 WAT SHE DID COS THE QUESTION IS Y SHUD A MAKE UP ARTISTE RECORD THE VIDEO OF A PUBLIC ICON LYK DAT.U DONT KNOW WAT SHE IS UP 2,MAYBE IT'S A CONTRACT OFFERED 2 HER BY ANOTHER STAR ACTRESS IN NOLLYWOOD WHO MIGHT WANT 2 USE IT IN TARNISHING HER REPUTATION OR SUMTING MORE DAN DAT.WE SHUD ALL PUT OURSELVES IN HER SHOES ND I DONT HAVE IT A DOUBT SUM OF US COULD HAVE DAN A WORSE
ReplyDeleteshe was 100per cent right
ReplyDeleteMercy is right smashing her phone but then she should'nt have slapped her
ReplyDeletethe slapping part was wrong but smashing the evidence that's the blackberry was 100% right.
ReplyDeletesmashing her phone was totally right, but slapping her is crazy act from the so called celebrity...i hate Nigeria movies anyway and the celebrities suck cos...Mercy, you can never do that in the state, who do you think you are?
ReplyDeleteu na goat oh.. big goat dat is what you are.fuck u. u dont love nigeria movies when u cant even act. you suck
Deleteshe shouldn't have recorded mercy when she was making that sexy move off seen and mercy should have just taken the phone to delete that recording or any other recording of such for all u know the recording is still on the memory card.
ReplyDeleteMercy was 100percent right.... the make up artist job is for make up alone not video. i would have done more than that and damn the consequence. sometime situations cause for you to be very harsh, if she was mild another person would have attempted it again. Bravo Mercy
ReplyDeleteShe's dam 2 rght i wud hve dne worst dan dat mayb beat her up toroly. Mercy is rght joor!
ReplyDeleteshe very right ,and very good of MJ,she could have just blind that her eye.the slapp was too small.very good.
ReplyDeletenice did my gal, i guess u pieces d memory card.
ReplyDeleteIsn't what the artist came there to do, why don't she mind her own bloody fucking business?
ReplyDeleteIf I were Mercy I would kick her assss
not only will i slap her and smash d BB, i will also make sure she neva gets a job in this country again.
ReplyDeleteShe was right. the make-up artiste should'nt have done that
ReplyDeleteWho hired that make up artist, so unprofessional. That's all I want to know. No need for slapping, and the blackberry should be replaced of course.
ReplyDeleteShe was right cos if she didn't do that, the makeup artist would hv sold it to the press n they will start writting fake stories that dents people`s image.
ReplyDeleteshe was very ryt,cz this scene was to be in a movie nt a part of it,so who knws wat da artiste was upto.she did the ryt thing ad dats y am prond of her
ReplyDeleteshe was very very right. cos if not d make up artist would have taken to the press an they will start writing rubbish abt her and by so, destroying her marrige. if i were Mercy, i will even cease her sim card or braek it into pieces. wat rubbish?. dat is how they cook up stories dat are not true and before u knw it u will see "mercy Johnson in a romance saga" which she knw nothing about. dat serves d make up artist right. mtchewwwwwwww.
ReplyDeleteMercy was rite to my sight.
ReplyDeleteShe was 100% right,,, the video cld hv bn in the tabloids and the lies will start to circulate. she was supposed to do more than that,,, that shit is unacceptable...
ReplyDeleteshe is very very right, she has a right to privacy and she is a married woman. before you know it they will start writing whatever they like. I also think that the should ban the use of phone on set I mean taking pictures except for the still photographer
ReplyDelete4 me i luk at in a different perspective, why must she b acting sexy part since she is married dat means dat part of d movie is bad 4 her 2 react like dat, pls dis is africa. 4 d issue on ground Mercy shuld learn how 2 report incident 2 d authorities next time cos is 4 her own gud. U wil neva b a murderer.
ReplyDeleteYou can't totally blame Mercy 4 reating like dat Coz wit such video, a lot damage can b done bt I wld say she over reacted.Its already done so I'wld advice she apologize if she can.It won't kill her
ReplyDeleteWell,i think otherwise.i don't think it is right to slap another lady,it might be wrong to video her without her consent but slapping her and smashing her phone is far too harsh.she could have seized the phone and deleted the stuff.for a civilized person,she should be more civil,whatever the girl slapped her back,what a disgrace that would have been.the fact that she was married should have made her respect herself and decently corrected the situation without behaving like a local but exposed girl
ReplyDeleteShe was so so right. she wants to use the video to blackmail Mercy so that our marriage would come crashing. God punish her. Mercy God will bless u n yr prayers would be answer in JESUS' name.
ReplyDeleteI understand Mercy's frustration, especially given the fact that the media people would want to twist issues to get a story that may end up tainting the artiste's name or even breaking her marriage....(sometimes I wonder if the media is a blessing or a curse :( ...) However, I feel that she should have handled it in a calmer way and even achieved a better result. someone suggested deleting everything on her phone, sending her out and perhaps if she wanted to take it to the extreme, she could have even insisted that the make-up artiste be fired or worse still sue her. Being physical with her offender was not necessary!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Michelle. Slapping and smashing BB was not the best way to handle the situation. All she could have done was to collect the phone, get her fired from that set and also blacklist her to prevent her from getting a job on any movie set. That is a proper punishment for sum1 like that. As people said we don't know what she intended to do with the video. Plus the directors have to banned crews and extras from bring their fone to the set or at least prevent them from taking pictures or recording videos during the set. In Europe people arent allowed to take pictures and videos on the set. Shes right but she handled it in a very wrong way.
DeleteI would do d same bcos who know's what her intent was? She was protecting her image and i surport her action
ReplyDeleteInfact over right self.
ReplyDeleteMercy is damn ryt to have done that, she shld even sue her for tresspassing...
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in rumors, i will have done it it's all in self defense
ReplyDeletedat serve her right,wen next she invited for a job she sud learn how to do just dat. wetin concern a make-up artist with film recording? Busy body!
ReplyDeleteDats my gal.
ReplyDeleteright...............................
ReplyDeleteshe is right
ReplyDeleteThat serve the lady right mercy did the right thing
