Yoruba Nollywood actress Oyewunmi Olufunmilayo has opened up about the personal challenges she faced in her marriage, revealing a tumultuous relationship that affected both her personal life and career.
Speaking in an interview with FeelRightNews TV, she recounted how her husband frequently subjected her to physical abuse, driven by suspicion whenever she returned from movie shoots.
According to Oyewunmi, her husband wrongly believed that she engaged in inappropriate behavior with male colleagues on set, despite her repeated explanations to the contrary.
The actress described a difficult period where her professional commitments were constantly under threat due to her husband’s mistrust and violent tendencies.
This created an environment of fear and tension, forcing her to confront the painful choice between her career and her marriage.
She eventually made the decisive move to end the marriage, prioritizing her safety and professional aspirations over a relationship that had become unsustainable.
In her words: “I was once married. But my husband usually beat me. Whenever I returned from location, he would beat me, saying I allowed another man to touch my body on set. I usually explained to him that it’s not real, but he wouldn’t believe me.”
“It got to a point that I told him to choose between me and my career or divorce me. He asked what I meant, thinking I was joking and that I couldn’t leave him. But I did; I divorced my husband,” she added…..See More
