Akwa Ibom State born Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, who is grappling with the crash of her marriage may have more than enough to chew if she continues to claim she never cheated on her ex-husband, Phillip Ehiagwina, while the marriage lasted.
Few days after the news of the crashed marriage hit the headlines, Ini Edo went on twitter to say she was the one who actually asked for a divorce due to irreconcilable differences and that she never ever cheated on her husband.
Read the tweets here:
But sources close to Phillip's family have come out to debunk her claims, and are telling the actress to shut up about the infidelity part, insisting that she is not just a liar but a serial cheat who continuously had flings behind her husband who was most of the time out of the country, giving her the freedom to do whatever she wanted.
A close family source who is related to Phillip spoke to to Pulse.ng on the condition of anonymity:
Ini Edo should shut up about the marriage crash because with the way she is going by trying to paint Phillip as the wrong party, we may be forced to open her can of worms and it will not be palatable to her and her career.
I can tell you that Ini Edo is a serial cheat who played the field behind her husband's back for the duration of their marriage. Is she going to deny she was dating one Island big boy whose girlfriend organised her friends to beat her up and injured her?
Another family source pointed out thus:
Bros, I can tell you that Ini Edo is not as innocent as she is trying to make people believe or think. We caught her on more than three occasion with three different men and she always begged us to forgive her.
We can even mention some of the men she had affairs with including a South-South governor whose wife embarrassed her and ordered her security to send her out of the governor's guest house in the state capital. She should dare us and we will mention the name of the governor on the pages of newspapers.
Another source, a close friend of Phillip also added his voice to the contentious issue:
Did she tell you how Phillip embarrassed her in front of her people when he went to collect his bride price? He told her people the kind of adulterous daughter they have and how she had been cheating on him right from the first day they were married.
In fact, he did not want to collect the bride price but her people begged him to collect it as that would free her to get married to another man in the future.
All calls to Ini Edo or her publicists to comment on the new allegations did not yield any positive results as their phones were switched off.
