Gambia-born Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has strongly defended her marriage to businessman Olakunle Churchill amid intense online trolling sparked by his recent public reconciliation with ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh.
In a series of candid posts on her Instagram story, Meurer addressed the barrage of criticism and direct messages she has received, asserting her right to speak up about her personal life. The drama intensified following Churchill’s reunion with Dikeh and their son, King Andre, which included shared photos and public interactions that reignited speculation and backlash toward Meurer.
Meurer dismissed claims that she was ever friends with Dikeh or served as Churchill’s personal assistant before their marriage. She emphasized that her relationship with Churchill is built on genuine love, not interference.
“You think I will live in bondage and be quiet and die inside? Na love I love, I no kill person,” she wrote in Pidgin English. “And if (God forbid) circumstances happen that I am no longer comfortable in marriage, I will leave without you fools being the reason behind it.”
The actress further stated that she refuses to remain silent while others control the narrative about her life and marriage. “If I donโt speak up for myself no one will,” she added, urging critics to mind their own business.
The ongoing saga has drawn widespread attention in Nigeria’s entertainment circles, highlighting the challenges celebrities face from social media scrutiny in matters of personal relationships. Meurer’s bold response underscores her determination to prioritize her well-being over public opinion.
Churchill and Meurer, who have children together, have previously faced rumors and controversies linked to his past with Dikeh. This latest development appears to have prompted Meurer to set the record straight and reclaim her voice in the conversation.
