My Husband Is Not a Woman Beater – Rosy Meurer Breaks Silence on Abuse Allegations
Nollywood actress, Rosy Meurer, has firmly denied widespread rumours alleging that her husband, Olakunle Churchill, physically abuses her. Taking to her social media platforms, Meurer dismissed the claims as false and unfounded, stating categorically that her “husband is not a woman beater.”
In a strongly-worded post, the actress emphasized the importance of individuals telling their own stories rather than allowing others to spread misinformation on their behalf.
“If you don’t tell your side of the story, they will tell it for you in ways that suit them for the world to believe,” she wrote. “It is the world we find ourselves in. You must speak for yourself.”
Meurer, known for her roles in Oasis and Merry Men: The Real Yoruba Demons, explained that she had previously chosen not to address rumours but felt compelled to speak out now for the sake of her family and those who look up to her.
“Debunking has never been my thing, I prefer to allow amateurs, jobless, idle minds think what they want and spread what they choose because they say everyone is entitled to an opinion,” she said. “But because I have a family, I have children, I have people that look up to me, I choose to speak up for myself.
“No one is allowed to tell my story. It’s my story, not yours. Only I can tell you what is happening in my life and no one else.”
Meurer expressed her frustration at those seemingly eager to see her marriage fail, noting that such people often project negativity based on their own experiences.
“It is funny when haters wish beating in my marriage when it is obvious their mothers, daughters and sisters will fall victims of massive beatings,” she wrote.
Dismissing the rumours as the handiwork of idle gossip, she added: “I no send anybody banter, guess the media is never hot for so long, reason why they cook up gist to keep the space busy. Can’t blame them.
“My husband never fit talk wetin dey him mouth finish, let alone beating a woman. Allegations no be by force. My husband is not a woman beater. They just want to permanent the lies of the past which they generated. Kudos.”
Meanwhile, Churchill also responded to the trending allegations with a touch of sarcasm, suggesting that detractors would have to wait a long time to witness a breakup between him and his wife.
“I hear say I dey trend. Who cook am? My family dey Disney Paris dey enjoy summer life,” he wrote. “Una go wait until menopause come. Meh, I see you. My people, my wife no get staff or friends. Una don make we trend today. Thanks.”
Rosy Meurer, a Gambian-born Nigerian actress and producer, gained prominence for her 2014 role as Kaylah in the TV series Oasis and her performance as Kemi Alesinloye in AY Makun’s Merry Men: The Real Yoruba Demons.
She married Olakunle Churchill in 2019, and the couple has two children.
