ACTRESS AYO ADESANYA OPENS UP ON BITTER MARRIAGE EXPERIENCE

Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya has opened up about her tumultuous personal life and the collapse of her marriage in a candid interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo. Ayo revealed that she endured an abusive marriage for a decade, a situation that led her to struggle with alcoholism. She shared harrowing details of how her ex-husband would physically assault her whenever he encountered her.

Ayo admitted that she stayed in the marriage for years due to the fear of societal judgment, particularly the stigma of being labeled as someone who “couldn’t keep a man.” She recalled how her colleagues, including actress Bimbo Akintola, expressed frustration with her for not leaving the toxic relationship sooner.

The actress also recounted chilling incidents, such as her ex-husband threatening to gouge out her eyes with a knife. Additionally, she revealed that he sent their one-year-old son away to Ibadan out of jealousy over the attention she gave the child. Ayo further explained why her subsequent relationship failed and shared her journey of returning to Nollywood after the ordeal.

In her own words:

“Anywhere my ex-husband saw me, he would beat me. He beat me so much that I became an alcoholic. But I couldn’t leave because of the shame—what would people say? That I couldn’t keep a man.”

Ayo Adesanya was previously married to Goriola Hassan, but the couple is now divorced. She is a mother to a son, whom she has raised despite the challenges she faced.
