The actress broke her silence through a series of raw, impassioned posts on her Instagram story, questioning why women are expected to silently endure unhappiness in marriage while men are afforded the same choice without judgement.
"For person to tire for marriage now nah taboo because nah woman? Must it always be man must taya? My tayad is tayad! I am tayad of the Princess wey dey marry me," she wrote. "What is wrong with that? To be happy as a woman in marriage nah by connection in this country! I no do again nah sin? Make nobody push me to the wall because I be rubber oo! 8 years of my life isn't enough yet? Maybe I should give it 20 years or maybe 6 feet under before the crown of thorns can fit me well."

"What is my offence in wanting to be happy?"

Alongside the emotional outpouring, Ogbodo took a firm stance against online commentators she felt were spreading inaccurate information about her situation.
"All these bloggers, be collecting receipts ooo! No dey post fake news. Ask for receipts. Cos I come correct with receipts. I'm not like my predecessors o!" she wrote, making it clear she intends to challenge any misinformation directly.
The union between Ogbodo and the younger Bobby Maris had attracted attention throughout its course, partly because of the visible age gap between the two. While Ogbodo turned 40 in May, Marris will be 35 in September.
