Earlier today, news broke out that actress Mercy Aigbe’s marriage had crashed due to domestic abuse from her husband, Asiwaju Lanre Gentry.
Mercy had made an Instagram post advising women to “say no
to domestic violence”, and her husband subtly replied with a post of his
own, saying, “say no to promiscuous n irresponsible women”.
We reached out and a close source who chose to remain anonymous revealed some new details to Kemi Filani Blog. According to the source, Mercy Aigbe’s husband always had trust issues with her.
Read the exclusive revelation to Kemi Filani Blog.
“…I am not in the position to say but it has been a long time coming, Asiwaju doesn’t trust Mercy cos her movement is always suspicious. They always fight over allegations but it has never been this bad and sometimes he punishes her by not letting her leave the house, that is why she couldn’t attend this year’s AMVCA, they had a fight around that period. Twice now she has had miscarriages from being beaten by him…..this one just got really really bad but that doesn’t mean they have parted ways.”
When asked why Mr Gentry doesn’t trust his wife, the source said:
“He gets calls from peeps, friends who give him updates on her movements. She can tell him she is at so so place and at the end of the day, he will find out that she is somewhere else….it goes on and on like that…..”
When asked if actress Opemititi aka ‘Queen Stunner’ had a role to play in the crash, the close source said thus:
“I know she is very close to Asiwaju…I don’t have much details on that but things have grown cold between her and Mercy, they were once very close, she frequently visited Mercy’s boutique at Ogba and her home and when Mercy travels out, she is available to monitor things but things are not same between them anymore. So maybe, may be not I can’t say if she is having an affair with Asiwaju but she is closer to him than to mercy now, they avoid each other sort of”
A few years back, in 2013 to be precise, Stella Dimokokorkus reported how Mercy Aigbe’s husband embarrassed her at an event due to this same trust issues, but both parties vehemently denied the report then.
According
to reports at the time, Mercy Aigbe had seemingly disappeared from the
proceedings and after a while, her husband started to look for her. It
created a ruckus and Gentry was taken to another room where he found his
wife who was alone, but was wearing a night dress-not the actual
clothes she came in. He was said to have then descended on her with
blows, dragging her by the hair into his car and drove off.
In a bid to control the damage, the couple made a video recording of
them clearing the air and insisting that incident was just a malicious
rumour.
Well, they are yet to react to this new report.
Meanwhile, Mercy and her hubby are not separated yet. Their social media status, display photos and
display names still show that they are married.
