Actress Bimbo Ademoye has appealed to fans to be more respectful and understanding towards lawmakers and other industry colleagues, citing the hard work that goes into film production.

She appealed in a post on her Instagram while appreciating her “cyber family” for their unwavering love, patience, and support over the years.

She said that her inability to reply to messages or comments doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate the loyalty of her fanbase.

“Dear cyber family! Thank you! For your love, your support, your patience. I may not be able to respond to all of you, but know that in those dark times, your messages kept me going. I do not take your love or support for granted”, she wrote.

The actress also addressed a growing concern within the online community, urging fans to avoid making rude, entitled, or disrespectful comments towards filmmakers before or after a new movie release.

According to Ademoye, producing a quality film is a demanding process that involves months of planning, filming, editing, and collaboration with a large team.

She continued, “Please be kind to filmmakers today; we really do go through a lot. Underneath the smiles, the posts, the beautiful captions, sometimes we cry in silence, because unless you wear the shoes, you really won’t understand”.

She noted that while she understands fans are eager to watch new productions, constant pressure or impolite remarks can be discouraging for the creatives who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

The ‘fashionista’ actress encouraged viewers to be patient, supportive, and courteous, reminding them that kindness goes a long way in motivating filmmakers to continue creating quality content.

She added, “Review with kindness, be better with your words. Nobody is saying you shouldn’t critique a film, but at least you can let your displeasure be known without being mean, all in the name of bluntness.”

Alongside her message, Bimbo thrilled fans by confirming that her newest movie is on the way.

While teasing the project, she assured viewers that the wait would be worthwhile, promising another entertaining production that reflects the quality they have come to expect from her.
