Yoruba Nollywood actress, Adedola Aderonke, known as Ashabi Olorisha, shared her experience of how the father of her son charmed her into having a sexual relationship with him.
During an interview with Biola Bayo on her Talk Show, Talk to B, Ashabi Olorisha disclosed that they were initially just friends, as she was in a relationship at the time.
She explained that their strong bond led to his frequent visits, and one day, they ended up being intimate, resulting in her pregnancy. To this day, she remains unable to fully comprehend how it happened.
“I was in a relationship, but my child’s father charmed me into an intimate encounter (resulting in the conception of my only child, after years of waiting).
“My son’s father was initially just a friend; he didn’t pursue a romantic relationship with me. At that time, I had my own boyfriend, a Major in the Army, and there was another man whom my family wanted me to marry because he was from Ikorodu.
Surprisingly, the first time I became intimate with my friend, I became pregnant. I couldn’t even explain what led to that moment because my mother had reservations about him due to his tribe.”
The Yoruba actress, now residing in the US, became emotional as she shared the hardships her son faced in the UK due to his immigration status.
She revealed that her son was living with her cousin, who had married a Muslim man. Her cousin’s husband made life difficult for her son, attempting to coerce him into their religion.
“My son endured a lot because I was in the US without proper documentation, and he was in the UK facing the same issue. He was staying with my cousin. My son is a Christian, but my cousin, who was marrying a Muslim, insisted that my son remove the cross he wore and join them in praying on the mat.”
The most recent news involving Ashabi Olorisha was when she engaged in a public dispute with her fellow actress and late friend Funmi Martins’ daughter, Mide Martins. This dispute arose when Ashabi renovated Mide Martins’ mother’s gravesite and criticized her for not doing so herself, despite her mother’s 20th remembrance.
Ashabi Olorisha also called out Mide for neglecting her half-brother, Damilare Peters, and her father, and she wished that Mide would face a similar situation with her own daughters.
In another event last year, shortly after her birthday, Ashabi Olorisha expressed her joy at obtaining American citizenship. She expressed her gratitude to God for the various ways in which He had supported her.
