'I was abused on my wedding night' – Foluke Daramola talks about abuse in her first marriage

Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola-Salak has spoken about why she stayed longer in her abusive marriage.

She noted that she remained in her first marriage for four years despite being constantly abused by her ex-husband because she was scared of criticism.

The mother of two made this known in an interview with TVC.

She said she was abused on the night of her wedding.

She said, “My first marriage, on the night of my wedding was when I noticed abuse. But because of what people will say… And God has already orchestrated it because my wonderful kids are from the marriage.

“When I finally decided to step out [of the marriage], people did not understand why I stepped out. But I understood that I needed to go. A lot of people did not receive it well, but if I hadn’t stepped out, if I had died there, by now I would have been a forgotten case.

“So, it is better for people not to accept my reality or my truth but I accept my own truth than for me to lose my life in the process of trying to prove to the world what I’m going through.”
