Ayo explained that she stayed in the marriage out of fear of being judged by others, worried they would say she couldn’t hold on to a man.

She also mentioned how Bimbo Akintola and some colleagues were frustrated with her inability to leave the marriage.

Ayo further recounted how her ex-husband once threatened to gouge her eyes out with a knife and even sent their one-year-old son away to Ibadan out of jealousy over the attention she was giving him.

She partly said, “I became an alcoholīc. But I couldn’t leave because of the shame that people would say I couldn’t keep a man.

“The guy beats you right now and the next minute he’s begging you. So it was something I was involved in for 10 good years.

“Thank God there was no blogger then. It was so bad. The man would always tell those who called me for jobs that I wasn’t available.

“The night I was going to leave, it was like magic. It was like 12am in the middle of the night. This is the first time I’ll be talking about it . But I have to talk about it.”
