Stella Damasus has blamed religion for the “biggest mistake” of her life.
She said a church where she was a choir member once pressured her into marrying her best friend who was the choir director.
The thespian said they were not supposed to be married, stressing that as friends they were fantastic but as a couple they didn’t work.
She disclosed this in a recent chat with popular media personality, Teju Babyface.
Damasus said: “Before him [my ex-husband] there was somebody else that I married. It didn’t work out. Nobody heard my voice. I didn’t talk about it. That passed quietly.
“It lasted eight months. Biggest mistake of my life because the guy was an amazing guy. But he was my friend, my best friend. And religion is what caused that problem that made us marry when we were not supposed to be married. We were supposed to be very good friends because as my friend, he was awesome. But as a married couple, we didn’t work. We just m*ssed it up. And we knew it.
“So when we went our separate ways, we were like out of love and respect for each other, let’s just leave it. We don’t talk about it, we just leave it so that at least we can still say, hello, are you okay? How are you?”
Also, Stella Damasus has revealed that she was aware her third marriage had crashed via YouTube.
The actress during a chat with her colleague in the entertainment industry, Tejubabyface, explained in part, “The thing is that I am not here to apportion blame. To say he did this or that, I will not say that.
”I pride myself in being a respectful person. A lot of things were said about me on YouTube because that is how I found out that my marriage had ended, on YouTube. I did not know that my marriage had ended.
“The man in question travelled and he was meant to be away for a while. And he was supposed to come back. A few days after the man travelled my phone was buzzing.
“I received messages from people asking me what was going on. They sent me some links on YouTube and before I was done typing my name. The videos started popping up.”
