Nigerian actress Dupe Jayesimi’s sister, Tope Jayesimi, has publicly called her out over her recent interview.
The veteran actress recently appeared on Biola Bayo’s Talk to B podcast, where she shared emotional details about her life and being childless at 60.
During the interview, Dupe Jayesimi expressed disappointment that the children she raised did not support her in her later years. This statement upset her siblings, prompting Tope to respond online.
In a viral video, Tope Jayesimi questioned how the actress could claim to have raised them when they all grew up together in their grandmother’s house in Ibadan.
According to Tope Jayesimi, Dupe never considered her or their siblings as family, let alone children she raised, because she never believed they would amount to anything in life.
“How did you raise us? We baba’s children that also makes you bear the Jayesimi name. How did you take care of us then? You know that till now that you’re speaking on this program, you never saw us as your relatives, never saw us as your siblings or as your children. If you saw us as your children and counted us as your siblings, this is me Tope talking on behalf of everybody, that you saw me Tope, Adeoluwa, Biodun, Esther, that you saw us as your siblings or your children, you won’t come to social media to say all these things you said. But one thing I always say is there are always repercussions for actions. That they brought us to you to care for us and you thought you could maltreat us because you thought we would never amount to anything. Can you see the result? You thought we would be nobodies.”
Tope Jayesimi further described their relationship with Dupe Jayesimi, claiming they were treated like maids. She alleged that she even washed the actress’s period-stained underwear.
Tope also alleged that Dupe Jayesimi sold their late father’s hectares of land, which were meant to fund their education, and kept the proceeds for herself, among other accusations.
In her words; “Can you remember that time at home, I would be the one to wash your menses pants, when you want to eat, we behave like your househelps in the house where we all lived together, that almost every month when you go for shows, whenever you come back, fear would grip us. You have forgotten how you raised us. When our father died, what did you do to us? How did you raise us? We are now people today. Please help us ask her, our father’s land that was meant to be used to train us to school, please what happened to the land after relatives took her to the police that time? She sold the hectares of land, this same Aunty Dupe sold everything. All our late father’s entitlements as a professor in Ajayi Crowther University, she was the one who collected everything. You have brought this matter to the public, a lot is on ground.”
