Nigerian actress Regina Daniels has rejected persistent claims that financial motivations drove her 2019 marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko. In a video statement shared on Wednesday, the performer said her mother, Rita Daniels, actually opposed the relationship and deserves no blame for the union that has drawn years of public criticism.
The actress acknowledged falling in love despite facing intense scrutiny and revealed the emotional toll nearly led her to consider ending her life. She emphasized that her family maintained financial stability before the marriage and questioned why anyone would believe monetary incentives influenced her choice.
Daniels defended her mother against ongoing attacks, describing her as supportive throughout seven years of public harassment. The actress asked observers to stop criticizing her personal decisions and expressed determination to remain committed to her husband and children regardless of continuing judgment.
