VIDEO: ‘I was raped five times,’ Iyabo Ojo opens up about abuse
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, also known as Queen Mother has opened up about some personal and traumatic experiences from her childhood.
In a conversation with her colleague Biola Bayo on the talk show, Talk to B, which was shared on Friday, Ojo revealed that she had been raped five times.
She highlighted the prevalence of rape apologists in society and stated that she would hold anyone, even her own son, accountable if accused of such a crime.
“I was raped five times in my life. I discovered we have a lot of rape apologists. I don’t care who the person is; if that person is my son, I am going to come for him unapologetically,” she declared.
Iyabo also revealed that her father disowned her when she insisted on marrying her late husband.
“The only time I lacked was when I insisted this was the man I was going to get married to because, at that time, my dad and I disowned each other.
She spoke about how her father struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, which ultimately led to his death at the young age of 40.
“My dad did everything, alcohol and drugs, so it messed him up at a young age. He died at 40,” she added.
Reflecting on her early years, Iyabo disclosed that she was raised by her grandmother and only met her mother when she was around seven years old.
“I grew up with my grandmother, who is half Delta and half Igbo. I think I was seven before I knew my mother,” she added.
