Troublesome Tonto: Fights dirty with director on set...Denies romancing Iyanya

 















Controversy seems to be the new name of erratic Nollywood actress and wannabe musician-Tonto Charity Dikeh.
Aside being in the news always for the wrong reasons, Miss Dikeh cherishes bathing in troubled water on and off locations.
Dikeh’s recent messy social media war with estranged colleague, Messy Johnson as well as clash with NDLEA, which nearly culminated in her arrest, for promoting Indian hemp on her Twitter handle are still fresh in the minds of her fans.
Even the shameless story of how she truncated the whirlwind romance between the poster girl of Ghanaian movies, Yvonne Nelson and Iyanya, whom many alleged she ended up dating, is still trending among her colleagues and leading tale bearers.
In fact, many of the fans of this troubled star are still pissed and disappointed with her for indulging in soft pornography in one of her controversial movies.
With these crises and many more trailing and damaging her name, one would have expected that the Lindsay Lohan of Nollywood would turn a new leaf, but shockingly, she has moved from bad to worse thus earning the new sobriquet: Troublesome Tonto.
She recently threw decorum to the winds and openly engaged a movie director, Chima Okoroji, in a dirty war of words that nearly led to fisticuffs on a location in Enugu State.
ACTION! reliably learnt that she allegedly walked out on the cast and crew of the said movie, ‘African Pride’, after an altercation involving her, the director and some leading stars on set.
“Tonto messed up my set, insulted me and many stars on set, including Ken Okonkwo, Ngozi Nwosu, Prince Nwafor and others by walking out on my set for a whole day, because I called her to order,” disclosed embittered and embarrassed Okoroji.
Not done yet, Okoroji, with over a dozen movies to his credit further alleged that the actress came on his set with the intention of causing trouble.
“While on set, she kept on insulting, fighting and quarreling with everybody. She was very rude and uncouth on set. Whenever I tried to correct her, the producer, Kaycee (Filmark), will intervene and beg me not to confront her. But I got pissed and eventually called her to order when I could no longer take her insults and rudeness. She immediately flared up and started insulting me publicly in the presence of my cast and crewmembers. And when some of her senior colleagues tried to intervene, she also tongue lashed them. Tonto walked out on us the moment she was done with her insults and refused to shoot till the next day after many pleadings by the producer. She even threatened to arrest and deal with me for daring to call her to order on set. Another problem I had with Tonto on set was her too much drinking and smoking, which she uses to delay my production. It was so bad that the owners of the house where we were shooting told us to leave because they were tired of inhaling the smoke from her incessant smoking. She needs help and prayer”, Okoroji added.
Meanwhile, we tried reaching the Rivers State-born thespian for her own side of the very ugly and inglorious story, but mum was the word. Several calls put to her phone were unanswered.
In another development, the Dirty Secrets star, has denied ever romancing Kukere crooner, Iyanya.
Speaking as a guest on a radio programme recently, the entertainer vehemently denied dating Iyanya or snatching him from any woman, including Yvonne Nelson. She categorically told the presenter that she and the music star never dated and had only come in contact just twice in the line of duty. When asked what she thinks about the serial heart breaker, she responded thus: “I like his music and I think he’s a very good musician.”
