Why I Apologised To My Daughter – Mercy Aigbe

Actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe has apologised to her daughter Michelle for the harsh parenting she experienced from her as a single mother.

In a recent interview at the premiere of her film “My Mother Is a Witch,” Mercy revealed that she reflected on her parenting style and realised the impact it had on her daughter.

She shared a moment where Michelle recalled a traumatic experience from her childhood, where Mercy had hit a bucket on her head.

According to her, the experiences prompted Mercy to send an apology text to her daughter, acknowledging the tough upbringing she provided, but also proud of the strong individual Michelle has become.

The film “My Mother Is a Witch” explores themes of family trauma, buried secrets, and the pursuit of forgiveness, which resonates with Mercy’s real-life experience.

The movie, set for release on May 23, stars Mercy Aigbe, Efe Irele, Timini Egbuson, and Neo Akpofure, and is produced by Anthill Studios in collaboration with Frame Flix HQ.
