Tumininu, the wife of Big Brother Naija star Angel Smith, has publicly addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding their marriage, sharing her side of events in a detailed statement.

In the lengthy post, she outlined her role in supporting Angel’s relocation and their early relationship dynamics:

“Before closing this chapter, here’s a full summary of what happened: I brought Angel to America and personally covered all the visa expenses. I was the one who asked her to move here. Before she arrived, I was honest about my past relationship with Mally and made sure she knew everything upfront.

For three months, I supported her completely—financially and at home. I cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, trying to make her comfortable. Instead of building a life together, she repeatedly left me at home to spend time with people she met on a dating site. She would go out with them, then come back and still expect financial support from me.”

Tumininu went on to describe what she termed troubling behaviour and growing concerns during their time together:

“Her behavior became increasingly troubling. I even involved her mother when things escalated, especially when she started acting recklessly and nearly got arrested. Because of her legal situation, we rushed into marriage so she could stay in the country legally.

At the same time, she surrounded herself with people I considered dangerous, including someone who had just been released from prison after serving eight years for robbery. This raised serious concerns for me. I tried multiple times to talk to her and set boundaries, but she refused to listen.”

She further detailed how the situation deteriorated within a short period:

“Within less than three months, she became comfortable engaging with people she barely knew, going out late, and putting herself in risky situations. I felt disrespected and used, like a maid in my own home, despite everything I was doing for her.”

According to her, repeated efforts to salvage the relationship proved unsuccessful:

“I made repeated efforts to communicate and resolve things, but there was no change. Despite warnings from my friends before the marriage, I still tried to make it work and gave more than I should have. Eventually, I reached my limit and issued divorce papers.”

Announcing her decision to move on, she added:

“At this point, I am stepping away completely. I have done more than enough, and I will not allow someone to damage the life I’ve built here.

Moving forward, I want it clearly understood that I am no longer responsible for anything that happens in her life.”

She also clarified issues regarding personal belongings and attempts at resolving the matter privately:

“To be clear: • I did not take any of her belongings. Some of her items are still with me, while the rest have already been moved to her strangers friend residence.

• Her wedding ring was left behind when she left

• I have attempted to resolve this privately and respectfully, including apologizing for any inappropriate words said in frustration, but she has been uncooperative.”
