Popular Nollywood actress, Chika Ike has admitted that she was partly to blame for her failed marriage which broke up over domestic violence allegations in 2013.
She made this known in an interview with New Telegraph published on Saturday.
Ike said the failure of her marriage to Mr Eberibi and other issues around her life informed her decision to write a book she titled, “Boss Up”.
The popular thespian said, “In the book I mentioned my past marriage and everyone is aware of it because it was all over the social media. Also there is a part of the book where I also took part of the blame and all that.”
However, she rejected insinuations that she might have defamed her ex-husband through information provided in the book.
Ike said, “For me, all I wrote in the book is equally all that have been addressed in the court and in the media, there is no defamation of character at all because it’s all there in the media.
“The court knew why I left my marriage because it is legal as it was due to domestic violence which was obvious.
“I don’t have a terrible relationship with my ex; I have forgotten and let go all that happened and moved on.”
Speaking about the most challenging times of her life, Ike said, “I think one of the greatest challenges so far for me was when my parents passed on.
“For two years I was living, but I was not myself because I was going through a lot of emotion.
“Six months after mum died, I lost my sense of being; what I mean is that I could not think straight because I was going through a moment of depression.
“I never knew that the loss of a parent or a family member could make you pass through this but at the end, I prayed, went for counselling and I got better.”
