Fola, a mother of four, posted pictures of Lizzy Anjorin on Instagram along with a long statement detailing her purported experiences and promising not to be scared into silence by the actress and her ex-husband.
In her words:
“LIZZY ANJORIN, I STILL STAND ON MY WORDS ABOUT WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED, AND I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED INTO SILENCE.
When I saw the news online in 2020 that you had married my ex-husband, the father of my two younger children, my second baby was barely three months old. I tried to reach their father, but I could no longer get through to him. At a time when I needed support, I was left struggling with the responsibility of raising my four children.
“Since then, I have endured so much pain. I allege that you have threatened me, including threatening to pay ₦10 million to SAN and saying people would forget about me. I have spoken about the bullying and attacks I believe were carried out against me through bloggers. I was also forced out of the house my ex-husband rented for me, without a fair opportunity to gather my belongings. These experiences have left me deeply hurt, and I will not pretend otherwise.
“You questioned the paternity of my children and accused me of lying. I took legal steps to address the DNA testing issue, but their father did not attend as I had hoped. I have also faced court proceedings in Lagos and Abuja. I maintain that I have won several cases, while some matters are still ongoing.
“WHAT HURTS ME MOST IS SEEING YOU PRESENT YOURSELF AS THE VICTIM WHEN I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT THE PAIN I HAVE ENDURED. Do you ever think about the mother behind these allegations? Do you think about the children involved? Do you understand what it feels like to carry the burden of raising children while dealing with years of emotional distress and legal battles?
“I am not fighting to take my ex-husband back. I am fighting for my dignity, for my children’s welfare, and for justice. The fact that someone has money or influence does not mean another person should live in fear or lose the courage to speak about their experiences.
“LIZZY ANJORIN, I STILL STAND ON MY WORDS ABOUT WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND WHAT I HAVE SAID YOU DID TO ME. I believe I have evidence to support my account, and I am prepared to stand by it. I will not withdraw my voice simply because my words are uncomfortable for you.
“I serve a living God. He has seen the tears I have cried in private, the pain I have carried, and the struggles I have faced while trying to be strong for my children. When I felt helpless, I held on to my faith. I believe God is fighting for me, and I believe that one day, justice will be served.
“YOU MAY BE ABLE TO TELL YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY, BUT I ALSO HAVE A STORY TO TELL. YOU CANNOT ERASE MY EXPERIENCES BY PRESENTING YOURSELF AS THE ONLY VICTIM.
“I am hurt, but I am still standing. I am tired, but I have not given up. I will continue to seek justice through the law and trust God to give me strength.
“GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH OF MY HEART. I STAND BY MY WORDS, I STAND FOR MY CHILDREN, AND I BELIEVE THAT JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.”
Ultimately, both parties should consider addressing their differences calmly and amicably, rather than airing them online and escalating the situation. A respectful, private conversation could help clear up misunderstandings and prevent further conflict.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
