September 17, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye, has opened up about her relationship with her mother, who she claimed left when she was 2 years old.
Bimbo noted that though she is not close with her mum, she still ensures she caters for her mother’s needs.
“My mother is alive. She lives about 15-20 minutes away from me. We just don’t have a friendship. I do not talk about it because I would love for people to respect that. I am a very private person. My mother left when I was two.
“My first ever betrayal came from my mother. We tried to rekindle the relationship — I would not want to use the word rekindle because there was no romance there because I did not get to know her, but I tried to build a relationship with her. Right now, we have a relationship. I am doing my duty as a child. I pay for this, pay for the rent and allowances.
“That is about what we have. I am very okay with that and I am open with the no friendship, no closeness that we have for my mental health and my own sanity. My mother is very much alive, and she is very beautiful and robust. My father is light-skinned. I got my skin colour from my father and my weight from my mother.”
