The actress shockingly claims that her ex-husband’s reactions to Manchester United’s match outcomes often led to violent outbursts, leaving her battered and scarred.
“My ex-husband was physically, mentally, and psychologically abusing me. When my husband hit me for the first time, I didn’t believe it; I was in shock,” Inyama bravely begins, her words carrying the weight of years of silence. She points to the intensity of the abuse, revealing that her disdain for Manchester United stemmed from the numerous beatings she endured whenever the football team faced a loss. Even today, she admits relief when the team faces defeat, acknowledging that it spared her from another potential day of violence.
The actress took her followers into her emotional journey through a poignant Instagram post, sharing a link to the interview and inviting them to witness her truth. The revelation sparked a wave of sympathy and support from fans and fellow celebrities alike, as the dark underbelly of domestic abuse within the glamorous world of Nollywood came to light.
Inyama delves further into the details of her ordeal, exposing not only physical abuse but also the intrusion of her ex-husband’s girlfriends into their home. She recounts an alarming incident where one of the girlfriends dictated household matters, undermining her autonomy in her own space.
She shares, “There was even one instance where the girl was telling me what to cook, saying that I should not be cooking meat; I should use fish because it’s healthier.” This revelation sheds light on the extent of the control and humiliation she faced within the confines of her marriage.
Despite the tumultuous circumstances, Inyama’s resilience shines through as she narrates her decision to never physically fight back. In a desperate moment, she turned to unconventional methods, seeking intervention from a higher power. “I grew up in the village, so I believed in all those things, you know the full moon, right? One day, I had just had it up to my neck, so I went out, looked up to the moon and said, ‘God, if you don’t do something about this marriage, I don’t know how you’re going to do it. But if I don’t leave alive, one person will leave dead,'” she confesses.
Inyama reflects on her ultimate decision to leave the marriage, acknowledging the sacrifices made and expressing gratitude for her three children, whom she considers her diamonds born out of the fire she endured. She emphasizes that, despite the challenges, she has no regrets, highlighting the importance of enduring struggles to uncover valuable lessons and treasures.
