Monalisa Stephen, a Nigerian actress and content creator, has shared her experiences regarding an abusive relationship.
In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, she revealed that she did not recognize the signs of abuse until she was subjected to physical violence.
She said, “I didn’t really know it was a thing. I used to hear other women talk about it, but I didn’t think it would happen to me. I used to believe, ‘I’m a huge woman with a big body, why would anyone want to beat me?’ But it has nothing to do with your body.
“You can be abused whether you’re fat or not. When I got the first slap, I was shocked. What led to the slap wasn’t even worth it. I was dazed. The experience was unexpected, and I felt really bad because this was someone I trusted. Even though he was below my league, I lowered my standards to date him.
“This person kept beating me and humiliating me. I asked him, ‘Why do you keep doing this to me?’ and he said his friend told him that people like me need to be ‘bent’ so he could dominate me. That made me see some men in a different light.”
She further noted that while many assume public figures do not face challenges, the reality is quite the opposite. Additionally, she mentioned that some individuals, including those who pursue relationships with them, view celebrities as potential targets.
