In one of her most candid interviews ever, actress Stella Damasus opened up about her life, struggles,
her first and second marriage & what we care most about, her relationship with Daniel Adenimokun.
She said she didn’t steal him and implied that when she met him, he was already single.
Speaking with Emma Emerson of Golden Icons, Stella Damasus opened up about her relationship with Daniel. She said;
“Let me put it this way. Let me help you hit
the nail on the head. One of the comments I
have seen consistently, over and over again,
is ‘Stella snatches somebody’s husband’,
‘Stella the husband snatcher’, which is what has
been going on. And I had sworn that I would never
talk about it, or even listen or stress myself
about this thing but I have decided to do this
now, so that I end this once and for all.

First of all, let me paint a picture for you and you let me know what makes sense to you. When
I looked up the word snatch or steal, ehh, let’s go to the dictionary. It means, forcefully taking
something away from its original position. Forcefully. From its original position to another
position. Something that does not belong to you. That’s what I gathered from the word snatch
or steal.

So I looked at me, Stella, and I wondered to myself, how is it possible to go to somebody’s
home, and take a man, and take his son, away from his home and say follow me. You are a
man, and according to their story, he is happily married inside his home. With his family
complete and I walk into that home, to forcefully take a man, abled bodied man, and a kid,
away from somebody’s hand and you are there looking at me. How does that work?

Did they accuse me of using voodoo? Yes or no? They said no. Okay, did I put a gun on
anybody’s head and remove somebody from somewhere? They said no. So logically, if people
actually sit down and think about it intelligently, how do you snatch somebody from somebody
and the person is there looking at you?

So when you see a man who has settled ties with a woman and decides to move on with his
life and you feel that there is something in this man that you like and he likes you. I am not a
kid. I am 36 years old. I am not about to start hiding myself. I was waiting for somebody to
actually ask me this question, because all I have heard for the past two, three years are
rumours. They said, blogs said, this said. Nobody has been bold enough to confront me and
ask me. So I say, if I steal something from somebody, and the person is really the owner of the
thing, you come and ask me, ‘you took something from me, give me back’.

But nobody was able to that. And I am like, if I meet an able bodied man that has left and
moved on. That is not even in the same house with whoever and is not doing anything with
whoever, and both parties have decided this thing is not going anywhere, and they have gone
their separate ways, why is it that it easier for the world to blame the woman that the man
has decided to end up with?

Why is it that it is always that woman that scattered that home? The two people that did
things that nobody was there, nobody said something must have happened between this two
people but it is always somebody else that is the problem. And I always say, I do not tolerate
blaming anybody for your own problems. I have had problems.

After my late husband’s death, I got married again and the marriage didn’t work. After eight
( months, it crashed. People didn’t hear much about it, why? We were both mature to
understand that we came together, we knew that the thing was not working, instead of us to
become enemies we will remain friends, let’s just let it go quietly. And we let it go quietly. I
didn’t blame anybody else for doing it, he didn’t blame anybody else for doing it. So I am
wondering, two people come together they go their separate ways, this one meets somebody,
all of a sudden, it is that somebody that is the problem. Did anybody ever ask, what went
wrong? Why would a man pick up his son and walk away from his marriage?

Was there anytime another woman was the problem until the man moved on with another
woman? Nobody brought up Stella’s name, then all of a sudden, ‘oh he’s moved on with
somebody else (snaps fingers), it must be her’. How? I am still waiting for somebody to come
with proof to say ‘oh when they were still in marriage, when they were still in a house, you
came and did this.’ So the reason why I don’t like talking about it is that, there are some
things I would say to you and you would look at me like ‘oh wow’ but I don’t want to be
derogatory, I don’t want to tow the line that other people have towed by talking bad about
people.

I would never do that but the stories started coming. At first I ignored it, I just kept quiet, and
then it was all over the place, Google, blogs, and I am like, one day, one day, I would tell my
story. There’s a reason why I am respecting certain people, respecting certain legal issues that
are going on. So there might be some things I may not hammer on, but whenever you hear
this person snatched this person’s, you will ask the person, the person that they said was the
original owner, what was the person doing when they were snatching the person from him or
her? I don’t get it. Do you understand?

So I look at it, I am not ugly, I am not dumb. Of all the men in the world, I will now go and
look for somebody else’s own and say this is the one I want. If he didn’t come out of it and
say I want to be with you and you want to be with me, how? Why would I come and grab…?
Am I that bad looking? Am I that old?”

she said she didn't steal him..
