January 03, (THEWILL) – Fancy Acholonu, the ex-fiancée of Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo, has made more shocking revelations about their failed relationship and the actor’s sexuality.
This is coming after the Nigerian model made another U-turn, days after apologising and seeking reconciliation with her ex-fiancé, Alex Ekubo.
The former lovebirds got engaged in May 2021, Acholonu suddenly called off their already-scheduled wedding in August of the same year.
On Friday, the model issued a public apology to Ekubo on Instagram, stating that her heart still belongs to him.
Ekubo reacted to the apology with a comment which read, “I appreciate the apology. May God bless us all.”
The post has since been deleted.
In an unexpected turn of events, Acholonu took to Instagram on Monday, to declare that she is free and that the chain is broken.
“Happy New Year everyone. 2023 will be my year of strength, being fearless, speaking up for myself & finally no longer under anyone’s control. I’m free, the chain is broken. May God bless us all. #SimplyFancy”, she captioned the post.
She has since been responding to comments about her failed relationship. In some of her comments, she stated that she endured lies and cheating before ending the relationship. She also responded to fans who were blaming her for her relationship woes.
“Alex has succeeded in trying to ruin me and my reputation just because I left him. Grace, you slightly know me, I’m calm, quiet, I dance, play, work and mind my business. I endured everything Nigerian women typically do from her man, which is lies and all the cheating etc.
“But to make me apologise constantly, publicly.
It is wrong! I never revealed why I left. I never bashed him. I only said sorry for making a statement. I am someone’s child, someone’s future wife. I need to speak up for myself. Don’t tell me to stop.
“Silence is why many people are depressed. Alex needs to stop his manipulation! His ego and wanting me to say sorry all the time is a problem, not me! Every time I’ve made a statement is because of him! Don’t tell me to stop. Tell him.”
In an interview with Stella Dimoko Korkus, Acholonu revealed that for the five years they dated, he never had intimacy with her.
“I tried my best. He wanted to get back with me as much as I did. We’ve been at this for one year. But he felt since I broke up with him I should do more of the work. I was fine with that, but his methods are cruel and constantly public.
“His sexuality is not the reason I broke up with him. I’m very open-minded so regardless of what he prefers, love is love for me. I loved him for his personality and heart, nothing more.
“He didn’t want to be with me intimately, which was confusing and difficult for me to understand, especially for 5 years. It did affect my self-esteem as I kept myself for him and when he would cheat with curvy women he wouldn’t perform with them either so I don’t know, I can’t confirm or deny his sexuality, but for me, I loved him despite all and he still found ways to hurt me.
“When I met him, I didn’t have much experience so it was easy to convince me that his decision was because of religion. But as he would constantly cheat and yes I caught him, it would hurt me because that’s not part of the religious belief he made our celibacy to be.
“Honestly, this whole thing has been complicated beyond words so it’s unhealthy for me to continue this relationship. I guess I needed this post he begged me to do so that I can see his intention was just to clean up his image.”
When asked to say something to Alexx through the interview, Acholonu said: “Honestly, I don’t know what to say to him. This has to be the most devastating thing I’ve ever been through, and for it to be so public; I pray we both find healing and peace because it won’t be an easy journey.
“One breakup statement shouldn’t have led to all this. I wish I never said anything, but I am human; I was fed up with good reasons. I pray he doesn’t only focus on people’s reactions, but evaluate his actions too.
“I also pray he learns to be real and more forgiving with his next person and not be so consumed with having the perfect image because it’s draining to keep that up. My mental health can’t tolerate our relationship anymore.”
