The Actors Guild of Nigeria reacted to the issue, which has also resulted in online disputes between Tonto and other Nollywood actors.
Speaking to NewstimesAfrica, Prince Ifeanyi Dike, Chairman, AGN BoT, said:
Tonto Dike is exhibiting bad behavior that we will no longer condone. What she should realize is that every marriage has its own issue. No one’s marriage is perfect.
Issues like that are private. It is very unbecoming of her to portray us in bad light. There are so many actors who have issues with their marriages without getting the public involved. Her actions does not speak well of the industry.
We are not interested in her private matters; rather we are concerned about her attitude which is rubbing off negatively on other actresses.
Ifeanyi according to reports also said in the interview that Tonto ‘s actions cast the acting industry in bad light, and that if she does not get her act together, the body would not hesitate to sanction her, as part of registering that they dis courage bad behaviours withib the acting profession.

“Actions like this portray the industry as having unserious ladies. That is why men are scared of marrying actresses.
“Thank God that we have good examples in the industry. If she is looking for sensation, she should look for something else to use.
“Honestly, the Board of Trustees is not happy with her and if she continues this way, we will sanction her. We do not encourage bad behavior.”
I get their point. But does it mean because she’s an actress she doesn’t have her own life to live? Should her life revolve around that organization. For me i think as far as she hasn’t mentioned anything about them then they shouldn’t have a problem on how she wants her personal life to be lived. Unless maybe they are the ones taking care of her.
