My ex-husband physically and mentally abused me – Victoria Inyama
Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama has accused her former husband, Godwin Okrim of physical and mental abuse while she married him.
The actress revealed this in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where she alleged traumatic experiences she faced including physical violence triggered by trivial happenings.
Inyama said that her ex-husband would subject her to beatings, especially when his favourite football team, Manchester United, lost a match.
“My ex-husband was physically, mentally, and psychologically abusing me. When my husband hit me for the first time, I didn’t believe it, I was in shock,” she began. Going on, she expressed disdain for the club.
She said: “I hate Manchester United, ehn. The number of beatings wey dem beat me because Man United lose match ehn. Even up to today when there is a football match and Man U loses, I am like ‘Thank God, today would have been a beating day.’ Even my son knows and would be laughing.”
Inyama also said that the abuse went beyond physical violence, to include instances where her ex-husband would bring his girlfriends into their home, allowing them to dictate household issues. She recalled one incident where a girlfriend instructed her on what to cook, demeaning her autonomy in her own home.
Inyama recalled: “Oh wow, yes. There was even one instance where the girl was telling me what to cook. saying that I should not be cooking meat; I should use fish because it’s healthier.”
