MERCY AIGBE OPENS UP AT-LAST ON HER FAILED MARRIAGE!
Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe (38) has come forward with her own side of the story on her failed marriage to Hotelier Lanre Gentry. Mercy who had a heart-to-heart interview with Broadway Africa opened up on the level of battery she had sustained from her now estranged husband, Lanre Gentry and other issues.
She released photos of the CT-Scan she underwent which revealed a broken skull; in an incisive interview with Broadway Africa, the mother of two revealed a lot about her hubby Lanre that leaves ears popping. Mercy had the following to say on the ensuing schism going on in her matrimony:
“He beats me consistently. I stayed because I loved him and because every time he beats me, he begs and gets family and friends to beg me. He promised regularly to change but he never did. When my husband gets angry, he gets physical, not only to me but to anyone. He has done that with my house help who reported him to the Police years ago. I stayed because of my children and because a lot of people look up to me. I was a role model of some sort and I really wanted to keep it together. I just wanted a home. It’s not like I wanted to walk away but I just feel like we need help. I spoke to my husband’s brother about it. I told him I was going to pack out for some time while my husband seeks therapy. I just wanted to feel safe, that is why I moved my things out. This last beating was brutal. I actually thought I was going to die. Immediately, I opened the door, he kept beating me. I was begging him and asking why he was beating me. He said he would destroy my face such that no make-up would fix it and destroy my career. He was acting like someone who was possessed. I told him 'Lanre, mo ma bi mo fun e' (translated as “I have a child for you). I’m still coughing and sneezing blood even after three weeks, she reveals how severe the injury inflicted upon her is. My husband was in detention for over seven months and I never left him or go anywhere. Why would I want to go now? He says all this is make-up, He is not showing any form of remorse and still sponsoring lies against me.
