Actress Regina Daniels has appealed to Nigerians to stop the online insults and criticism targeted at her mother, Rita Daniels, amid her ongoing marital issues.
In an emotional Instagram video shared on Wednesday, Regina addressed her followers and the general public, expressing distress over how her mother has been unfairly attacked due to the controversy surrounding her personal and family life.
She emphasised that her mother is not accountable for the decisions she made as an adult and should not be subjected to public backlash.
Regina emphasised that her decision to get married in her teenage years was a fully conscious and independent one, taken at a time when her family, including her mother had initially expressed strong reservations.
She said: “Please, I am begging everyone, stop insulting my mother. Na me carry my two legs enter.
” She’s the best thing that ever happened to me, she is strong, she’s my God on earth. My mom held it down for seven good years, she tried. She warned me, my brothers warned me. I’m so ashamed to say I fell in love”.
Far from being pressured or manipulated, she revealed that she was the one who stood firm in her resolve, recounting how she went as far as visiting a police station to formally report family members who attempted to block the union.
Regina acknowledged that public scrutiny comes with fame but insisted that there must be boundaries, especially when it involves dragging innocent family members through the mud during a time of emotional distress.
With her brother still missing and the family under immense strain, she pleaded for empathy, understanding, and respect.
