Regina Daniels Fires Back at Ned Nwoko, Denies Family’s Role, Alleges Abuse and Manipulation

The boiling conflict between Nigerian actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, took a more dramatic turn on Sunday as the actress broke her silence, firing back with a torrent of accusations and confessions that have now thrown the public feud into deeper confusion. Taking to her Instagram page in the early hours of the morning, Regina admitted to past drug use but dismissed her husband’s version of events as “exaggerated, manipulative, and designed to tarnish” her image. “Ned, how could you lie so openly and without even small remorse?” she wrote. “You know my family has absolutely nothing to do with this… and now you are trying to make them look bad for no reason.” In a tone that carried both defiance and fatigue, she acknowledged her struggle with drugs but insisted it was not the cause of their marital collapse. “Fine, I did drugs. So what? Is that even the issue between us?” she asked pointedly. “The moment we had a fight, you rushed to the public, shouting ‘drugs, drugs, drugs,’ because you knew it would make a perfect story for the media; something dramatic enough to distract everyone from the real issue.” The actress accused Nwoko of using power and influence to isolate her from loved ones, painting a picture of calculated control. “You want to find a reason to arrest everyone around me so that I will have no one left beside me… Then, when I’m completely isolated and broken, I will be forced to come back to you because I will have nowhere else to go,” she wrote. In a startling twist, Regina alleged that Nwoko himself encouraged her drug use, claiming he found her more appealing under the influence. “You say you want me to go for rehab, but you are the same Ned who always wanted me high because, in your words, I’m ‘sexier’ when I’m high. You liked me that way because it made me wild and romantic, exactly how you wanted me to be.” The actress went further to accuse the senator of physical and psychological abuse, alleging confinement and forced medication. “Why don’t you tell them how you lock me up and have doctors inject me with drugs meant for people with bipolar disorder? You seize my phones for weeks because you hate that I talk to my family a lot,” she said. Refuting his earlier claims that she behaved erratically, she countered, “You have never seen me act incoherent, stumble, or lose control… Stop using the ‘drugs’ story to create a distraction. Tell people the truth.” In what may be the most shocking revelation yet, Regina Daniels claimed that she was never legally married to the senator. “No matter how much you think you spent on me, it can never equal the value of the time I gave you, my prime years, my energy, and the career opportunities I sacrificed while being with you. And for the record, I would have filed for divorce long ago if there had ever been a legal marriage between us. We were never married in any court of law… Leave me alone, Ned. Marriage is not by force. Love is not by force.” The explosive exchange, now dominating social media discussions, has blurred the lines between personal pain and public spectacle. As the dust settles, questions linger about the truth behind both accounts and whether the matter might soon move from public accusation to legal confrontation.
