My ex-husband pushed me into drugs – Etinosa

 The actress Etinosa Idemudia has said that she used drugs and alcohol to get away from her abusive ex-husband.

She described how she was married at the age of 22 and how her ex-husband subjected her to constant domestic abuse to the point where she nearly died.

Thespian Chude Jideonwo revealed this in a conversation with well-known media personality Chude Jideonwo.

She claimed she feared her ex-husband.

Etinosa said: “The domestic violence got to a point where I was on drugs. Whenever my ex-husband is coming home, normally as a woman you should be happy that your husband is coming home but I would just starched up and doped up so that no matter what he says, no matter what he’s doing, I’m just looking at him. Just so that there would be peace.”

The Edo-born actress said she eventually left the marriage after her ceaseless praying and fasting didn’t change her husband.

She said, “I was green, I no know anything. I was a mumu. I was 22 when I got married. My ex-husband told me that ‘I’m not your friend, I’m your lord.”
