NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS, INI EDO OPENS UP ON CRASHED MARRIAGE

Spread the love

Nollywood actress,
Ini Edo, has maintained a low profile ever since her marriage crashed, with
many alleging she is the cause of the breakup.
Reports have it
that the actress, who attended the Golden Icons African Movie Awards (GIAMA),
which held in Houston, Texas, United States, last month, practically avoided
the red carpet. She was also said to be in low spirit throughout the exciting
show.   Ini Edo, responding to rumours of
infidelity as reason for her crashed marriage said, “I have always been a
one-man lady.”
She said she is
“usually at a loss’ when she reads stories about her sexual
relationships.” It is really astonishing when people just manufacture
stories, give them legs and let them fly when they know the stories are
absolutely false.”
The thespian who
was recently voted as Nollywood’s Sexiest Actress noted that it is legitimate
for men to have designs and desires on stars, but that does not translate to
falling for every man that makes advances.
“I was raised
well by my parents and I have always been a one-man lady. All the sexual
shenanigans that the media have associated me with are all false. The problem
with our journalist is that, if they saw you at a coffee shop with a man, just
any man, even if that man is your cousin or brother, they will automatically
assume that he is your new lover, and without asking questions, will rush to
publish that you were seen at a coffee shop with a new lover.”
She said she has
lost count of the number of such innocent outings with family members or
friends that the media has misconstrued.

“What the
media failed to understand was that I had not allowed stardom and celebrity to
becloud my values. What they did not realize was that I wanted to be married,
and start a family, and that notion that I was some kind of a sexually crazy
and hormone raging young woman was totally false.
“Did I have
friends in the past? Of course, just like any young and single woman out there,
I had friends. Did that make me an out-of-control sexual goddess? Absolutely
not! It has been very painful for me each time I read all the stories written
about me, stuffs that are patently false. I have, however, come to accept it as
part of the price you pay for stardom. I just wished they could do a little
investigation before rushing to publish.
“One story
that pained me a lot is the notion that I snatched Philips from his ex-wife
Ruth Okoro while she was recuperating from cancer treatment. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The ex-wife said I was callous and mean-spirited to
have done so. Initially, I had wanted to ignore what she said about me, but I
would like to use this medium to state that I did not take Philips from Ruth Okoro.”
