Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has strongly denied allegations that she “snatched” her husband, Olakunle Churchill, from his ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh.
In a series of Instagram videos posted amid swirling social media speculation, Meurer dismissed rumours that she unfollowed her husband after he celebrated his son’s birthday with Dikeh in Lagos.
I never unfollowed him, and I never will,” she said. “When I go to his page, it still shows that I am following.
I don’t know what technical issue it is or whether someone is playing games somewhere. I have no reason to unfollow him. I am not that petty.”
The actress accused critics of deliberately pushing a false narrative, particularly on the day Churchill marked his son’s birthday.
You picked his son’s birthday of all days to fly the narrative that I unfollowed him.
My husband and I are cool. He is presently in Lagos with his son,” she stated.
Addressing long-standing allegations that she was once close friends with Dikeh before marrying Churchill, Meurer described the claims as false.
“I was never my husband’s ex’s friend. I have never met or seen her. We don’t have each other’s numbers. She is like 10 years older than me,” she said.
She clarified that during Churchill’s previous marriage, he was more of a family friend who supported her career and occasionally spent time with her and her siblings.
When he was married, he was like a brother to me and helped me in my career. We were not dating,” she added.
Meurer also emphasised that she harbours no ill feelings and supports Churchill’s relationship with his children.
I love all his children equally. If he tells me to look after his son or daughter, I will. Please let my husband spend time with his son in peace,” she appealed.
In a striking remark, she added, “If God says it is time for him and his ex to reunite, who am I to say no?”
Challenging her critics, Meurer insisted there was no evidence to support the accusations against her.
Anyone who has proof that I snatched him should bring it out. I am still Mrs Churchill. Clock it.”
Her response comes amid renewed public scrutiny of her marriage, once again thrusting the celebrity couple into Nigeria’s social media spotlight.
