My abusive marriage turned me to a drunk – Veteran Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya
Veteran Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya has revealed that the abuse she endured in her failed marriage led her to alcoholism.
She shared this while opening up about her personal life and past marriage.
In a recent interview with popular media personality Chude Jideonwo, Ayo Adesanya recounted how her ex-husband prevented her from acting and even threatened to gouge out her eyes with a knife.
The actress disclosed that she suffered abuse for 10 years but remained in the marriage due to the fear of being judged for not being able to keep a man.
“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 of people saying I couldn’t keep a man.”
