Nollywood actress and box office queen, Mercy Aigbe has finally spoken out after being dragged for years over her marriage.
In a recent interview, she shared her side of the story, saying:
“I don’t even know where to start because my love life has always been a topic of discussion. But since everyone wants to hear my side, let me speak.
I was once married to Lanre Gentry, the hotelier. At first, everything seemed perfect from the outside, but deep down, I was living in misery. The marriage was filled with fights, infidelity, and even domestic violence. I still carry the scars—both on my body and in my heart.”
One day, I decided I didn’t deserve that life. I packed my things and left. The internet went wild. People insûlted me, some supported me. My ex-husband even came online to call me names, but I kept my head high. God knows my truth.
After that, I focused on myself, my kids, and my career. Then, love found me again—this time, it was Kazim Adeoti, a movie marketer. People started shouting, “Mercy snatched another woman’s husband!” But love is complicated. I followed my heart. Kazim supports me and understands me.
Sometimes, it makes me laugh when people cûrse me online. They forget that my happiness matters too. Is it because I’m a celebrity? Do they think I don’t deserve to be loved?
At the end of the day, I’m happy. My children are fine, and my home is peaceful. People will talk today and forget tomorrow. What matters is that Mercy Aigbe is living her best life.”
