Fresh from celebrating her son’s first birthday, Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has given her version of what transpired in her broken marriage to Oladunni Churchill.
In a video interview with Azuka Ogujiuba, who conducted a similar question and answer with Tiwa Savage in April 2016, the mother of one accused her husband of domestic abuse, infidelity and humiliation.
Tonto married Churchill in 2015 and was delivered of a son, Andre Omodayo Churchill, in February 2016.
The marriage, which thrived on falsehood and social media validation, was effectively over by the second week of 2017.
While she said the interview was not to discredit the man she now calls “my ex-husband”, the 31-year-old gave graphic details of alleged abuse suffered in the short-lived marriage.
“I stayed back in my marriage, not because of my child,” the professed born again actress said.
“I stayed because I was doing it for myself, because I loved my husband with all of my heart.
“I stayed because he begged me to stay a couple of times.
I stayed because I just didn’t want to give up.
“I didn’t want to give up on the marriage just like that.”
She showed pictures which she claimed were of injuries inflicted on her during domestic abuse.
Not even the tears running down her face and making her mess of her make-up could stop her delivering messages she hopes will make her husband be a better man or teach somebody somewhere a lesson.
