Nollywood actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot has finally addressed inquiries about his sexual orientation.

The politician rejected the accusations as baseless and undeserving of his response in a recent TVC interview.

He said, "Why would I respond to an allegation that neither increases nor decreases my life?" he asked. Gistlover, a controversial blogger, mentioned Desmond on a list of public persons who practise homosexuality, generating debate.

Speaking further, the movie star stated: "It's an opinion someone has conceived. For me to come out and say it's true or not isn't necessary as long as I'm affecting people positively." He denied the allegation, saying, "I am not gay."

Desmond Elliot also expressed concern about the unchecked power of bloggers, urging the government to look into regulating websites like Gistlover, which he says profit off false rumours and personal attacks.

Recall that the weblog previously asserted that it had witnesses and proof to support its claims. To save their reputations, several of the people on the list took quick action.

Social media users voiced their opinions with many saying they doubt the politician.
