Why I stayed in abusive marriage despite being manhandled on wedding night — Foluke Daramola

Famous movie star, Foluke Daramola has opened up on the reason why she continued to stay in her marriage despite the abuse she experienced.

The actress, who is currently remarried, revealed during a recent interview with TVC that she spotted the warning signals but was unable to leave. She revealed she was mistreated until the night of her wedding.

The mother of two stayed in the marriage for four years despite her ex-husband abusing her often. She acknowledged her fear of being criticized when questioned.

She said:

“My first marriage, on the night of my wedding was when I noticed abuse. But because of what people will say… And God has already orchestrated it because my wonderful kids are from the marriage

“When I finally decided to step out [of the marriage], people did not understand why I stepped out. But I understood that I needed to go. A lot of people did not receive it well, but if I hadn’t stepped out, if I had died there, by now I would have been a forgotten case.

“So, it is better for people not to accept my reality or my truth but I accept my own truth than for me to lose my life in the process of trying to prove to the world what I’m going through.”
