Priscilla Ojo Slams Fake Quote, Warns Against Spreading Misinformation

Popular influencer and mother of one, Priscilla Ojo, has publicly distanced herself from a viral quote falsely attributed to her, warning that the spread of such misinformation could have serious consequences.

On Friday, Priscilla took to her Instagram Story to react to a screenshot of a post shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user. The post alleged that she had dismissed postpartum depression as “an illusion caused by poverty” and claimed her love for her husband tripled after childbirth.

The post read in part:
“Priscilla was asked about marriage after childbirth. She said she never experienced postpartum depression; instead, her love for her husband tripled. She believes postpartum depression is an illusion caused by poverty.”

Clearly upset by the claim, Priscilla firmly denied ever making such remarks, describing them as false, insensitive, and deeply disrespectful to mothers.

“I never said this, what’s wrong with Twitter people? Be ready to provide evidence!!” she wrote.

“What do you mean I said ‘postpartum is an illusion caused by poverty’? Insulting to mothers, very insensitive.”

Her response quickly drew attention online, with many users supporting her stance and condemning the casual spread of unverified quotes on social media.

Opinion: When Clout Chasing Meets Sensitive Topics

Priscilla Ojo’s reaction touches on a much bigger issue — the careless way sensitive health topics are often turned into clickbait for engagement. Postpartum depression is a real and serious condition affecting millions of women globally, and falsely attributing dismissive comments to public figures only deepens stigma and misinformation.

In today’s digital space, a single tweet can travel far faster than the truth. That is why accountability matters. Quoting someone falsely, especially on issues involving mental and maternal health, is not just irresponsible — it’s harmful.

Priscilla’s firm response is a reminder that influence does not equal silence, and public figures have the right to defend their names when misrepresented. More importantly, it is a call to social media users to slow down, verify sources, and remember that behind every trending quote are real people and real experiences.

In an age where misinformation spreads easily, empathy and accuracy should matter just as much as virality.
