The wife of controversial media personality Daddy Freeze, Benedicta Elechi, has offered her side of the story in response to a recent court decision that upheld a N5 million fine against her husband for allegedly depriving her ex-husband, Paul Odekina, of companionship as a result of their romance.
The ruling by the Court of Appeal was a setback for Daddy Freeze, who has been under constant scrutiny regarding his relationship with Benedicta, particularly with regard to when their affair began.
Benedicta made it clear in her statement that she didn’t start dating Daddy Freeze when she was still married to Odekina; rather, it happened during her protracted divorce processes.
Addressing the court’s ruling and rampant speculation, Benedicta said;
“You can put the adulteress tag on my forehead if divorcing my ex 12-years ago and starting a relationship before the end of my 10-year divorce lawsuit makes me an adulteress, I am going to wear that tag with pride on my forehead.”
“For every woman going through a divorce that believes that because our judiciary system takes 10-years and more to issue a divorce certificate, they don’t have the right to find love and move on with their lives, I am doing it for this women.
She went on emphasize that her decision to file for divorce stemmed from significant personal issues.
“I filed for the divorce 12-years ago and if you are trying to change the narrative and make it look like I was caught in adultery and he divorced me, that’s not the case. I filed for divorce because we have different sexual orientation,”she said partly.
In asimilar story, Daddy Freeze responded to the N5 million fine imposed by the Appeal Court on him for allegedly having an extramarital affair.
On February 18, 2021, Daddy Freeze was ordered by a Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt to pay N5 million for having an adulterous relationship with Benedicta Elechi.
He was directed to pay the fine to Paul Odekina, who at the time of the adulterous act was married to Benedicta Elechi.
Daddy Freeze requested redress from the Appeal Court because he was unhappy with the ruling.
