Veteran Nollywood actress Jumoke George has finally speak up on her childhood experience, divorce, and her parents’ rejection during an interview.
Jumoke described how her stepmother mistreated her and enlisted her in charms, which she then used to manipulate her father, in an interview with Biola Bayo on the Talk to B show.
She claimed that she was receiving senseless treatment.
“My stepmother was even worse. From a tender age, I was sent to a herbalist’s house. It’s a pity and it saddens my heart that I am even the one that will prepare the food that the charm will be added to for my dad. You can’t even handle a slave the way they handled me. Today, I just put an end to that kind of job I am always sent”.
She said when she finally opened up to her father about her stepmother’s diabolic ways, he didn’t believe her and sent her out of the house, and that’s when her trouble began as she had to squat around.
“When I pleaded with him to allow me to talk, he said, ‘From henceforth, I disowned you,’ and he went into his room, and the next thing I saw is that he came out with his gun.
Jumoke disclosed that she had a falling out with her mother because she chose to live with her father instead of her mother, and her mother refused to take her in when she was homeless. They have managed to work out their disagreements, though.
“It wasn’t until four or five years ago that I knew what I did to offend my mother. But then, she pleaded with me that I should forgive her, that she didn’t have Christ, and it was a time of ignorance, and she was feeling hurt then.
I was sleeping around; I even slept on the table they used for selling goods by the roadside. If I see abandoned vehicle, I will sleep inside. Then, I used a safety pin to hold my bras. I used twine ropes to hold my pants”.
The seasoned actress opened up about her broken marriage, describing how her ex-husband continually mistreated her, even in public.
“When pregnancy came in, my journey with him was like going from frying pan to fire; he will always beat me. It got to a stage; he would come and meet me at movie rehearsal to beat me so that we would both roll down from the upstairs”.
