Veteran Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya has bravely opened up about the traumatic experience of being in an abusive marriage that lasted for 10 years. In a candid interview with Chude Jideonwo, she shared how her ex-husband's relentless physical and emotional abuse took a devastating toll on her life.

Ayo revealed that her ex-husband would beat her mercilessly, even threatening to pluck out her eyes with a knife. The abuse was so severe that it led to her becoming an alcoholic. Despite the unbearable situation, Ayo felt trapped due to the societal pressure and shame of being labeled as a woman who couldn't keep a man.

She also acknowledged the efforts of her colleagues, including Bimbo Akintola and Remi Surutu, who tried to intervene on her behalf. However, Ayo had to stop them, knowing that her ex-husband would only become more violent.

Ayo's courageous story highlights the grim reality of domestic abuse and the importance of seeking help and support. Her experience serves as a reminder that no one deserves to suffer in silence, and that speaking out can be a powerful step towards healing and liberation.
