Reality television personality Tope Adenibuyan, popularly known as Teddy A, has finally spoken publicly about the domestic violence allegations that once ignited controversy around his marriage to actress Bamike “Bambam” Olawunmi-Adenibuyan.
Teddy A addressed the issue during a recent appearance on the WithChude podcast, where he described the allegations as false, shocking and emotionally damaging to both his family and public image.

According to him, the reports, which went viral on social media at the time, accused him of physically abusing his wife, including claims that the alleged abuse occurred during her pregnancy. He said the accusations were completely untrue and came as a surprise to both him and Bambam.
Recalling the day the story broke, Teddy A said there was no conflict in his home.
“I woke up, went downstairs, and my wife was there watching a movie. She was pregnant and laughing,” he said.
He explained that he only realised something was wrong when his phone began receiving an unusual number of notifications.
“I hadn’t posted anything. I was wondering what was trending and why my phone was beeping constantly,” he said.
As he read through the comments online, Teddy A said his wife became visibly emotional and confused by the accusations.
“She kept asking who could do this to us. Honestly, I didn’t know where it came from,” he added.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate noted that the allegations quickly gained traction online, leading to intense discussions and speculation.
He said he contacted his manager at the time and was advised to remain silent and allow the issue to die down.
However, Teddy A admitted that the decision to stay silent later had lasting consequences.
“At the time, I didn’t understand the damage staying silent would do. Even now, when my wife and I post photos or videos, people still comment and ask if I beat her,” he said.
He described the experience as deeply painful, noting that it changed how some members of the public perceived him.
“It affected me because people began to see me in a way that wasn’t true,” he added.
Neither Teddy A nor Bambam has ever confirmed any incident of domestic abuse, and the couple has continued to present a united front publicly over the years.
