Popular Yoruba actress, Omoshalewa Yusuf, widely known as Basira Beere, has opened up about the collapse of her marriage.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the Talk to B podcast, the actress alleged that she suffered physical abuse from her estranged husband.
She further revealed that she lost four pregnancies as a result of domestic violence, adding that she remained in the marriage for an extended period due to her parents’ counsel.
“When I was about to get married to him, my friends complained that he was of a lower calibre than me, but I told them that I also came from nothing before fame. I sponsored about 70% of our wedding ceremony. I thought I was supporting my man.
“His problem started two days after our wedding. Days after the wedding, a guy texted me to congratulate me on the wedding, and I called him ‘dear,’ and that was when the problem started. It was so tough; he beat me so much that even our landlord tried to intervene.
“If I explained what happened to my parents, they kept telling me to be patient and endure. Only my siblings who were living with me could attest to what I went through. He beat me over little things to the point that I lost about four pregnancies. During the last fight we had, I was covered in blood. In fact, Gistlover posted about it. I don’t know who leaked it to them,” she said.
