Seasoned actress Ayo Adesanya has alleged being in an abusive relationship for 10 years.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Adesanya revealed that her ex-lover’s physical and emotional abuse led her to become an alcoholic.
Adesanya recounted how her ex-lover would beat her anywhere he saw her, and how she was unable to leave the marriage due to the fear of being shamed by society.
She said: “I became an alcoholīc. But I couldn’t leave because of the shame that people would say I couldn’t keep a man.
“The guy beats you right now and the next minute he’s begging you. So it was something I was involved in for 10 good years.
“Thank God there was no blogger then. It was so bad. The man would always tell those who called me for jobs that I wasn’t available.
“The night I was going to leave, it was like magic. It was like 12am in the middle of the night. This is the first time I’ll be talking about it . But I have to talk about it.”
No one deserves abuse and toxicity under the pretext of love.
