How my stepfather sexually abused me for six years – Singer Temmie Ovwasa
Nigerian musician, Temmie Ovwasa has revealed how her stepfather allegedly abuses her sexually for six years. She also stated that her mother aided him by not believing her.
In a series of tweets on Friday, she revealed that she had wanted to tell the story for a long time, but was waiting for her mother to die because she didn’t want her to bear the shame.
The former YBNL princess claimed that her stepfather was to blame for her mental instability, which led to her being referred to as a miserable and insane woman.
Temmie Ovwasa also talked about how she was dismissed by her mother after she opened up because she believed her stepfather, who offered a different side of the story.
She said her stepfather shared details of the abuses in a dairy which her mother found but still stayed in the marriage.
The singer said she would not be at her mother’s funeral, adding that she did not hate her because the system gives women like her nothing.
In her words:
“In the spirit of exposing my stepfather as a sexual predator, I want to state this very clearly, I do not believe in the justice system so if you’ve hurt me sexually, watch your back. I’m not afraid of blood

“I was sexually abused by my stepfather from age 11 to 17, he groped me, and wrote about it in his diary which my mother found, My first experience with being called mentally unstable after sharing a story was with my mother (which is why you stupid internet trolls don’t faze me)
“After my mother found out she said it was ‘just anal’, according to his dairy, Meaning that it wasn’t such a big deal since I wasn’t ‘penetrated’, I know through and through what a predator looks like, thinks like, I know they never believe they’ve done anything wrong
“This started a cycle in my life, of people calling me mentally unstable, mad, depressed because I was actually, I cut myself for years, in and out of psychosis and you know the best part. Every time I had an opinion about what her husband did, My mother would say it’s psychosis.”
