Nollywood actor and politician Desmond Elliot has directly addressed rumours about his sexuality, firmly stating that he is straight.
Speaking in an interview with TVC, Elliot explained why he initially chose to remain silent on the issue, considering the claims unworthy of his attention.
“Why should I respond to allegations that neither diminish nor improve my life?It’s just someone’s opinion, and I see no reason to confirm or deny it. My focus is on positively impacting lives, and that’s what matters to me.”
Additionally, Elliot also underscored the need for tolerance and mutual respect. He stressed that while everyone has the right to live as they choose within the law, respecting others remains essential.
“If you identify as something, as long as it’s legal, that’s your choice. People don’t have to accept it—just live your truth. But let me be clear: I’m straight, and no one is straighter than me. If some people want to seek attention through publicity, that’s their business. I don’t care. Just do you, but do it legally and respectfully,” he explained .
