Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has disclosed that she called off her wedding just two days before the scheduled ceremony, despite being pregnant at the time. The decision, she revealed, was driven by concerns over the abusive behavior of her fiancé.
Speaking on the ‘Talk To B’ podcast hosted by Biola Bayo, Nwosu explained that while she might have forgiven infidelity, physical abuse was something she could not tolerate. She recounted a traumatic incident where her partner physically assaulted her while she was pregnant, prompting her to rethink the marriage.
“I called off my wedding two days before because that day, he gave me the beating of my life. I was pregnant then, and I was like, is this what I’m entering? Because he has never done it before,” Nwosu revealed.
The 61-year-old actress emphasized the importance of leaving an abusive relationship early, stating, “For me, infidelity isn’t enough for you to let go of your man. But, if it’s battery, I advise any woman to, in fact, not take any of their property and run for your life because they will never stop. Once a man lifts his hand on you, he won’t stop.”
Although she admitted that she initially regretted her decision to call off the wedding, Nwosu later recognized that it was the best decision for her safety and career.
