“Anywhere my ex-husband saw me he would beat me.

“He beat me so much, I became an alcoholic - but I couldn’t leave because of the shame that people will say I couldn’t keep a man.”

For the first time on TV, veteran actor Ayo Adesanya - who was so big she was already lead star on Most Wanted, where Genevieve had her first minor role - finally speaks in detail about her abusive relationship that made her leave the industry for a very long time - and how she found the courage and the will to return to the industry and rebuild her career. 

We also discuss:

- How she stayed in this relationship for 10 years 

- ⁠How Bimbo Akintola and her other colleagues got angry because she couldn’t leave this man 

- ⁠How her ex threatened to pluck out her eyes with a knife 

- ⁠How he sent her son away to Ibadan at just 1 years old because he was jealous of the attention she was giving her son

- ⁠Why her next relationship didn’t work out

- ⁠Her long, hard journey back to Nollywood  

All pain, the shame, the destruction and the recovery. 

For the first time on TV, #WithChude.
