Popular Nollywood actress Biola Adebayo has addressed the backlash following her public revelation about her failed marriage, which she made on her ex-husband’s birthday. The actress explained that she decided to speak out to control her own narrative and prevent false stories from circulating online.
In a heartfelt video message, Biola said she never intended to seek attention or stir drama. Instead, she simply wanted to tell her story before others did. She said:
“Please, I’m asking for your understanding. I’m human too. What I shared wasn’t to cause drama. I just wanted to speak my truth before things get twisted. I regret talking now because many of you have turned it against me.”
Biola also revealed that people had already been questioning why she no longer posted about her husband, and she felt pressured to address the situation before rumors started spreading.
Netizens React
Reactions online have been mixed, with some supporting her and others criticizing her decision and timing:
Saheed wrote:
My question is, why did you call him your ex on his birthday? What about the name of the boy you both had together?
Rayomi commented:
She’s still saying ‘he’s my husband’… Whatever happened, I pray both parties find eternal happiness and peace.
Cola567 shared:
My take is that Biola still loves her husband. Social media should leave them alone. They are still in love and are great parents. Marriage can be funny sometimes, but I will keep praying for love and understanding. She’s a good woman. I believe in her. Her happiness matters. Bless her heart.
Oba0967 questioned:
When people fight with parents, siblings, or kids, do we throw them away like we do with spouses? Is the ‘get out’ rule only for marriages? We should talk about forgiveness too. If the next partner has flaws, do we keep counting and changing?
Olumide advised:
If you two can still talk on the phone, then fix it. For the sake of your child, lock yourselves in a room and sort things out. Life is too short. Everything is vanity.
Deafos defended her:
Let people talk. Nigerians like talking too much. They ignore their own issues but poke their noses into others’ matters.
Olapade praised her composure:
Sincerely, I like you, sis Biola. The way you confidently answer questions is admirable.
Priase criticized the timing:
Biola, I like you and we’re from the same community, but you brought this on yourself. You should’ve just wished him happy birthday instead of bringing up the separation. The man didn’t even say a word. We women need to stop playing the victim. Someone gave birth to these men too.
As the discussion continues online, Biola Adebayo’s situation has sparked broader conversations about marriage, timing, forgiveness, and social media judgment.
