Nollywood actress and CEO of ROK Studios, Mary Remmy Njoku, has recently revealed that she is going through a challenging period marked by emotional and mental health struggles. In a candid and heartfelt Instagram post dated June 13, 2025, Mary shared how she feels stuck, overwhelmed, and uncertain about her path forward.
Despite her impressive career—starting as an actress in 2004 with her debut in Home Sickness, rising to prominence with Blackberry Babes in 2011, and founding ROK Studios in 2013, which later became a major content provider acquired by Canal+ in 2019—Mary’s recent posts show that success has not shielded her from inner turmoil.
In her post, she wrote:
“I am at a point in my life where I genuinely don’t know what to do. It feels like I’m standing at a crossroads, uncertain and stuck. The people you think you know, you come to realize, maybe you don’t know them at all. And that shakes you. I usually have answers. I’m used to clarity, to direction. But this time, I don’t have any answers. I honestly don’t know what to do. Head is full. Can’t sleep.”
This message reflects a deep emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and insomnia. Mary has not indicated any physical illness but instead is grappling with feelings of betrayal, confusion, and self-doubt. Her transparency has sparked conversations about mental health in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, a topic often stigmatized or overlooked.
Fans and fellow entertainers have expressed overwhelming support, encouraging Mary to prioritize her wellbeing and seek rest and healing. Mental health advocates praise her courage, noting that her openness helps destigmatize emotional struggles and encourages others to speak out.
