How messier can it get?
Dr Olakunle Churchill, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has blasted the latter, saying she abuses alcohol, marijuana and is temperamental.
Churchill, a Ghana-based businessman and owner of Big Church Group of companies said this in an interview with Media Room Hub TV published over the weekend.
About a fortnight earlier, Tonto had granted the same station an interview where she lambasted Churchill for domestic violence among other things.
Relaying the incident which happened in Ghana, Churchill said he picked her from the airport a day before her birthday in 2015. However, due to a misunderstanding she spent the night in a hotel. He said Tonto came to his house the next day in the afternoon and “started breaking everything in the house. Luckily for me, I switched off the electric fence wire before I left the house. So, she started from the electric fence.”
Churchill said she destroyed many things in his house.
“There is this thing about my wife. It’s just like crisis. It doesn’t stop for like two, two and half hours. I’m sorry about this but I have to say it.”
Explaining what he means by ‘crisis,’ Churchill said, “she gets too temperamental due to her negative intakes. I don’t know. I don’t want to say anything about that but it got to that point.”
Churchill however, continued and clarified, “alcohol abuse, negative, marijuana, negative, anything that has something to do with drugs. When you’re always on a trip.”
Churchill said her anger erupted as she was rude to the police officials and even spat on one of the police officers.
“When her anger starts, six men can’t hold Tonto down, talk less of me beating Tonto. It’s not possible. She uses everything she has. Everything I have, she destroyed everything to zero.”
Churchill also dismissed as lies that he didn’t buy Tonto luxury gifts, saying he had receipts to everything.
Churchill revealed that he met Tonto about two and half years at his brother’s birthday party and they exchanged contacts. He said Tonto got pregnant for him six months later and he decided to marry her.
The couple have a one-year old son named King.
In February, Tonto revealed that there were cracks in her marriage via an open letter on Instagram.
