Lupita’s Severe Fear of Felines

Superstar Lupita Nyong’o had such a severe fear of cats, that she begged director Michael Sarnoski to employ a different animal for her role in the new horror film ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’.

“I asked the director Michael Sarnoski if there was any way that we could change the animal,” Nyong’o said. “I suggested an armadillo; he was not having it.”

This Lupita Nyong’o cat lady story has a far better ending than her ‘forever’ romance with Salema Masekela, made public in December 2022.

Refusing to explain what happened — but using words like ‘deception’ and ‘betrayal’ to describe the split — which came to an abrupt end last October.

After a lifetime of fearing cats, Nyong’o credits her new feline Yoyo for saving her from a case of severe depression in her ‘season of heartbreak’ over Masekela.

Lupita discusses her decade-long, Oscar-winning career; now gone cat phobia thanks to Yoyo; and her determination to keep her affairs private going forward.

Glamour’s beauty editor Ariana Yaptangco joins Lupita Nyong’o at LA’s CatCafe Lounge [IG]. For real! It doesn’t appear that Lupita adopted a friend for Yoyo.
