Nollywood filmmaker Daniel Ademinokan has publicly addressed recent comments made by his ex-wife, veteran actress Stella Damasus, accusing her of misrepresenting the truth about how she learned of their divorce.
The drama began when Stella Damasus, during a recent interview, claimed she discovered that her marriage to Ademinokan had ended via the internet. Her revelation shocked fans and stirred online conversations, with many expressing sympathy over the supposed abrupt and cold nature of the separation.
However, in a swift and pointed response shared via his social media, Daniel Ademinokan challenged her version of events, labeling it as false and misleading. “You did not find out about the divorce online. Stop playing the victim,” he wrote. The filmmaker insisted that contrary to Stella’s claims, she was well aware of the issues leading to the breakup and that multiple conversations had taken place before they went their separate ways.
“This narrative you’re pushing is not only false but unfair,” he continued. “We discussed it. You knew. The public didn’t, but you did. Let’s not rewrite history for clout.”
The couple, once celebrated for their seemingly strong union, shocked fans when their relationship quietly fell apart a few years ago. Neither party had spoken in detail about the breakup until Stella’s recent interview revived interest in their personal lives.
Daniel’s reaction has now opened a fresh wave of commentary online, with fans and industry observers divided over who to believe. While some sympathize with Stella and view her as the heartbroken party, others now question her account in light of Daniel’s rebuttal.
Both stars have since moved on professionally, but the latest exchange suggests that personal wounds may still be raw. Whether the back-and-forth will continue remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—this latest twist has reignited interest in one of Nollywood’s most talked-about relationships.
