Moet Abebe, the popular Nigerian video jockey and actress, has opened up about the reasons behind her failed engagement, revealing that her partner was violent and abusive. In a heartfelt interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, she courageously shared her painful experience and the factors that led to the end of her relationship.
Abebe disclosed, tearfully, “I could have been a married woman right now. I was engaged, but it didn’t work out. Also, it was a violent relationship. And I realized that is not what I want for myself.”
She further explained the difficult journey she endured, saying, “I was in a violent relationship for about two and a half years. It wasn’t even a thing that someone would have to come and drag me out of the relationship. I needed to realize that I deserve better, that this cannot be how I love myself. Being in that relationship meant that I didn’t want the best for myself. And that was how I left the relationship.”
This revelation comes after Abebe openly expressed her dissatisfaction with the institution of marriage during a social media Q&A session with her fans. When a fan proposed to her, she responded by saying, “I don’t think I want to get married. It’s a major fraud. But what do I know?”
Moet Abebe, also known as Laura Monyeazo Abebe, is widely recognized as a Nigerian video jockey, television presenter, actress, and catering executive. Her journey to stardom began when she made the decision to return to Nigeria with aspirations of pursuing a career as a TV presenter.
