For those who don't know him, he acted a very controversial
movie role, he played a gay guy and since then there have been rumours he's
gay(he has since denied it). He later claimed he was engaged to the lady whose boobs
he grabbed in that pic...( to quell the rumours)Well, the lady denied it
vehemently..
Last week another photo of him and the lady in the bikini
surfaced..
Well, he has opened up on being abused at the age of 10 and
why he is traumatised by it.
People think that
things are always rosy for actors. They
think it's always all about glamour but the truth is we have all had our ugly
experiences.
I have gone through a lot in the past and that is what has
made me the Benson Okonkwo many love and respect today in the industry. I was
sexually abused at the tender age of 10 by my 35 year old neighbour simply
called Aunty Amaka, a lady who I love and respect.
She took advantage of me on that fateful afternoon after
luring me with sweets and biscuits. She stole my innocence and ever since then
I have been haunted by that hurtful memory. That's why I put passion into my
acting career because its takes away my pain’ ‘I kept it away from my parents,
but I told our gateman, who did not tell my parents too. I grew up with the
shock and it still disturbs me till today.
I really wish parents would be more careful with who they
leave their kids with.
