During a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, Henshaw said they have had some misunderstandings, although not significant.

Henshaw said she loves Nnaji but the actress has the habit of occasionally withdrawing from people.

She added that she admires her independence and compared her to Angelina Jolie, the US film star.

“Genevieve, we have had our issues but not big issues you know,” Henshaw said.

“I have loved her. You know sometimes she pulls away. She pulls away from everybody and you’re like, ‘Am I smelling?’

“We met at a Netflix shoot, they took a few of us, Genevieve and I from Nigeria, so we went to shoot a commercial ‘This is Netflix’.

“Before then, we had not seen, we had not spoken for years and she was so nice to me.

“And then she left the set before us and then she said, ‘Kate I have gone, just wanna say goodbye’,

“You know but I respect her because, I think she is like an Angelina Jolie, just want to be on your own.”

In January 2022, Genevieve unfollowed everyone on Instagram and subsequently deleted all her posts on the platform.

Shortly after, rumours began to swirl that she was battling a mental health situation.

However, in March 2022, the award-winning film star reflected on mental health.

“Mental health is more spiritual than it is physical. Rededicate your life to the God that you serve. Get rebaptized,” she wrote.

Nnaji was recently spotted spending time at the Christmas party of Tony Elumelu, the Nigerian billionaire businessman.
