In the last five years, there’s hardly a month that passes without this space being saturated with one gory tale of ideal Celebrity couples getting divorced, cheating on one another or separation.
People apportion blames, defend, accuse and condemn what happened and the people involved, but everyone seems to overlook the most important thing which is where it all started.
That important thing is that all the things these people act daily are real. All the musical performances are real. The videos are not doctored.
I know that you are lost at this point, so let me explain.
When Yul Edochie is in a movie scene with scene with Mercy Johnson and the two of them cuddle up in bed and he presses her nyash. They are acting as couples in the movie and being very professionals about it.
For those of us watching, it’s mere entertainment, mere acting or mere dancing. But for the couples, it’s not mere acting.
Especially in a situation where such spouse hasn’t been home in weeks and probably hasn’t touched him or her that way in months.
Why almost all celebrities and their spouses claim to understand the situation and nature of the job, they can never be comfortable with it.
They can’t be comfortable watching someone squeezing their wives’ mammary gland comfortably, while they haven’t been able to touch their wives because they’re either busy with work or too tired whenever they get home.
Some loved up pictures you see of celebrities and their spouses at events might just be the only time they’ve touched each other that month, and they most likely came to the event from different locations and would go back to different locations afterwards.
I never knew how it felt until one of my cousins had a crush on Chioma Chukwuka that year.
He nearly ran mad when Chioma kissed Victor Osuagwu in one movie like that. We were telling him that it didn’t happen real according to the movie (as victor was only dreaming of making love to Chioma in the movie).
My cousin vehemently protested, saying that it happened real. Did they not actually act it and shot it before editing it in black and white and saying that it’s a dream, and the fact that they must have kissed more than 5 times in order to get the perfect scene annoyed him more.
It was then that it struck me. How would these people’s real life wives and husbands feel?
Just imagine how your girlfriend or boyfriend feels when a random stranger hugs you in his or her presence. Then imagine how you will feel to see your husband wearing only boxers with a lady wearing bum short on top of him, kissing and romancing him.
No matter how much that person claims to understand, he or she will never be at peace with what he or she sees everyday. It would get to a point where they will stop watching movies that their spouses feature in, but that’s where the emotional torment begins because every hotel, bar, bank, office, even buses or on social media, their videos are just everywhere.
This is the big elephant in the room.
You marry someone to become yours forever, then another person gets paid to fondle with the assets that should be fully yours, while you hardly get a chance to touch it because they are tired from another person fondling with them, and get money as bonus.
Ọ na agbaka ha isi, but they will keep pretending until they can’t take it anymore and call it a quit. Then they will drop cryptic messages here and beg us to respect their privacy.
