Yvonne Jegede weighs in on Regina Daniels’ marital drama

Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede, has weighed in on the marital drama involving Regina Daniels and Sen. Ned Nwoko.

Yvonne on her Instagram page, spoke against those making mockery of the situation and invalidating Regina’s cry for help.

“You see you people on this internet, you people cannot even be real. You people can’t be real. A young girl has come out to cry for help, that she’s been violated in her home. And the first thing that you people would think of is, are you not married to a rich man? If she was married to a poor man and the man is beating her, would that make a difference? No, I’m asking you people, would that make a difference? Or maybe if she was married to a single guy who never was married before and the guy is still beating her,” she said.

Yvonne also called out some of her colleagues who made fun of Regina, emphasising that everyone has a story.

“You people just like, you people just like bad news. And all those senior colleagues of hers that play her mama years ago, play a mother for a film years ago, now laugh on the internet. Shame on you.
Everybody has a story. All of us, we have a story. And it doesn’t matter where or how, we all have a story and one way or the other, we are intertwined, we are connected, we are one. So to stand up now and you’re laughing at somebody just because her story has gone the other way, you think you are better?”, she continued.

Yvonne also urged victims of domestic violence to put their safety and health above all else. She noted the importance of exiting toxic environment to avoid irreversible tragedy.

“And I know a lot of you will come for me and say, is that not what she’s all about? Single mother, and she’s the one that is holding the mantra for single parents. I don’t care. My own is that once violence is involved, I will not sugar coat it. I will tell you to leave. Be it a woman, be it a man, because even some women get agitated so much and they get violence. Oga, I’m not one of those people that come and say, are you not a man? Can’t you man up and do? Bros, you carry your bag for your own health, mental health. You pick your bag and you go. You know, it is better for you to live to tell the story than for you to stay and die. That’s the point I’m trying to make”, she said.
