Tonto-Dikeh-and-ex-husband-Churchill-Olakunle
Nigerian Actress, Tonto Dikeh, came under fire for making a remark about her ex-husband Olakunle Churchill.
Dikeh’s ex-husband’s cousin, Gbemi Adesioye slammed her for making false remarks on her brother (Churchill) and calling him a mini man.
On Monday, December 12, Tonto said on Instagram that she had fed Churchill and his mother and that everyone who had laughed at her when she made the announcement was now experiencing the same fate.
Churchill was thereafter referred to as a “mini man” by her.
Churchill remained silent, but Gbemi Adesioye, his cousin, criticized Tonto and leveled some accusations against her.
Gbemi wrote on Instagram: “So I saw a post of this same woman saying she fed my brother (Churchill) and his mom. I’m sincerely livid. You see his charity works going well and you’re out to chase clout.
“[He] has been running charity programs before you and spends tens of millions on each. Yet you say you fed him. His mom who has been abroad for over 30 years and has owned several properties is who you said you fed?
“You denied him access to his child despite him winning a court case against you. You even sold his car. A car worth 22 million.
“You even posted photos of his father in his archbishop gear and said he’s a common gardener.
“There’s no limit to the lies you tell to prove a point. What kind of man goes back to a woman who pushed his mom down to the floor? You have no sense of respect.
“You are fighting a man you tagged broke because he bought a house worth 220 million for his mom and you said he must buy for you before mum. For marriage wey just enter six months.
“[You said] that marriage was a hustle and there was no love. And now the man is broke? They didn’t pay your dowry yet, and you flaunted a diamond ring and took a push gift worth 24 million while the dowry was 1.2 million.
“Omo. Make it make sense. When exactly would you rest? When would you stop dragging him at the slightest glimpse of his progress?
“At this point, I think Churchill might just be the biggest thing that happened to you.”
Tonto Dikeh’s traditional marriage to Olakunle Churchill was held in August 2015. In February 2016, Dikeh gave birth to her son, whom she nicknamed Baby X. However, since then, the couple have gone their separate ways.
