Nollywood actress Motilola Akinlami has shed light on why she announced her divorce from her husband.
In an interview with Biola Bayo, she recalled how a blogger threatened to expose. According to her her, the blogger had messaged her and said she lived a lie and had threatened to expose that she wasn’t married. Motilola, who isn’t one to easily get blackmailed, beat the blogger to it as she announced her divorce.
The mother of two, further slammed those who shame women over their crashed marriage as she noted how ni woman, except one who is clinically insãne, goes into a marriage, with the intention of leaving.
“Why did I announce my divorce? There was a blog at that time, the blogger messaged me and said you live in disguise, and I will expose it. I know that you have left your marriage. So, I was like, you want to blackmail me at this point? When I have got nothing else to lose, I will post it.
There is one guy that is deceiving you, there is one man somewhere. I don’t know, I think I need to ask you people, do people think people go into marriages hoping to leave? I think they think there is a a new couple of women out there who go into marriage with the intention of leaving. So make it make sense.
Except a woman is clinically insãne, no woman will ever go into a marriage with the intention of leaving. You go because you want forever”.
In 2021, the Yoruba actress announced her divorce from her air force husband, Mr Adekunle. The movie star said their decision to split was best for both of them as it involved no anger or violence, but due to their consensus.
Despite splitting up, she said their duties as parents to their two children remained intact.
Following the announcement, reports had claimed that the major reason why her marriage crashed was because of her extramarital affairs with her colleague, Kunle Afod. According to Gistlover, Kunle’s wife found out about their affair, exposed them and claimed that Afod was the father of Motilola’s last child because of their striking resemblance. Gistlover said Motilola’s husband heard about it and decided to abandon her and the children.
Last year, the Yoruba actress topped headlines after she called out her Kunle Afod and his wife, Desola, for sabotaging her career. She narrated how Desola, slandered her on social media with numerous allegations which she never committed. She pleaded with Kunle to desist from defaming her because she was no longer interested in having a relationship with him.
