Actress Rosy Meurer has denied snatching Churchill Olakunle from Tonto Dikeh to marry.
As reported on eelive.ng, Olakunle who was formally married to Dikeh, introduced Meurer as his new wife.
The introduction attracted criticism from members of the public, who accused Meurer of being the reason Dikeh’s marriage with Olakunle crashed.
But addressing the allegations in a series of videos, Meurer said: “Churchill’s failed marriage has nothing to do with me. The same way you guys read and heard online that I was the reason for his broken marriage was the same way I read and heard online that I was the reason for his broken marriage.
“Before then, I never knew that the relationship I had with him before he got married was a problem after he got married. I didn’t get the memo. No one confronted me. I was never aware of such.
“Whatever it is that happened in his marriage, I had no knowledge of. The same way you read online of what happened is the same way I read online what happened.”
“I mean, I knew him. Why would I wait for him to get married before I would start playing hide and seek? It doesn’t make sense.”
Meurer also revealed how she was one of the very few people who stood by Churchill after his marriage crashed.
“After his marriage crisis and after he got divorced, I was still there. I never left. Why will accusations and people talking make me leave? Leave to where? I never left. I never abandoned him.
“Obviously he was a different person. Not much fun, not the normal fun bubbling Mr Churchill that we used to play with and used to know. He was just off, devastated, broken, frustrated. His mind was never there. You could tell he had stuff on his mind. It was what it was.
“Gradually days passed, months passed, years passed, life took its course. Destiny happened. What I was accused of became my reality and my fate. What would be, would be. You cannot change it.
“You cannot force it. I am not God. I mean, it just happened. I let God’s will take place in my life. I never forced myself on him. It just happened that he became more than a brother. He became a lifetime partner,” she added.
