📺 Stella’s Shocking Revelation on The Teju Babyface Show
In a 2023 interview that recently resurfaced online, Stella Damasus told host Teju Babyface that she discovered the end of her marriage in the most devastating way — through a viral video on YouTube.
“A lot of things were said about me on YouTube because that is how I found out my marriage had ended. I didn’t know that my marriage had ended,” she said, revealing she was bombarded with calls from friends urging her to check the platform.
Her confession painted a picture of sudden abandonment and emotional betrayal, drawing sympathy from fans and sparking renewed interest in one of Nollywood’s most controversial love stories.
📩 Daniel Responds: “I Stayed Silent Out of Respect, But Not Anymore”
Daniel Ademinokan, who had maintained silence since their split, finally broke his composure with a series of explosive Instagram stories where he accused Stella of twisting the truth.
He posted a screenshot of an email allegedly sent by Stella herself on July 20, 2021, requesting an address to send over divorce papers — directly contradicting her claim that she was blindsided by the breakup.
“I kept quiet for years because of the child we raised together and for the sake of peace. But I won’t let lies fly anymore,” Daniel wrote.
👦 Allegations of Child Abuse Surface
In a deeply troubling twist, Daniel revealed that his decision to end the marriage was largely influenced by the need to protect his son — claiming the boy suffered physical abuse during the union.
“My son had to wear makeup to school to cover bruises. That was the last straw,” he alleged, hinting that his mental health and parental duties took priority over keeping the marriage intact.
These allegations have sent shockwaves through the online community, with many now calling for further investigation into the claims.
