She revealed that she was never loved by her husband. And that not only was she abandoned during their honeymoon in Monaco, but her husband also allegedly spent his time with other women while she waited for him to arrive for their honeymoon.
According to her, he refused to consummate their marriage despite several efforts made to endear herself to him. She claimed that instead, it was Olujonwon who always meted emotional and psychological hardship on her through the act of abandoning her in his father’s house where he kept her and rendered himself incommunicado during the period of desertion without giving her any reasonable or justifiable explanations upon his return.
Denying exhibiting any form of violence to her husband, she revealed that Olujonwo was allegedly a drug addict who underwent rehabilitation at a private hospital. Temitope also accused her mother-in-law of continually attacking, ridiculing and defaming her with the aim of destroying her career and frustrating her marriage.
