“How my abusive marriage led me to alcoholism” – Actress Ayo Adesanya

Veteran Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya has bravely shared her experiences of severe abuse during her unsuccessful marriage, indicating that the resulting trauma contributed to her struggle with alcoholism.

In a revealing interview with media figure Chude Jideonwo, Adesanya detailed the physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband over a span of ten years, including threats to harm her severely with a knife.

Additionally, she mentioned that he sought to hinder her acting career, imposing limitations on her professional development.
