According to her, she was six months pregnant when the domestic violence began. She explained that she initially made excuses for him and blamed herself, thinking that perhaps she was “talking too much,” which led to the abuse.
Diiadem opens up about her marriage.
She added that she continued with the introduction ceremony, but she had already made up her mind about the next steps.
After the introduction, she backed out of the marriage plan because of the domestic violence.
The businesswoman emphasised that, given her experience, she would never allow anyone to remain in a marriage where domestic violence occurs.
Diiadem added that if she encountered such a situation, she would immediately intervene to remove the woman from the home without listening to any excuses.

Fans react to Diiadem’s interview.
Fans were taken aback that a man could abuse a woman while she was pregnant with his child.
Many asked what went wrong and advised women never to stay in abusive marriages. Some shared their own experiences with domestic violence and expressed gratitude for surviving to tell their stories.
In her words:
"I was 6 weeks pregnant when he first started to hit me. I only proceeded with our introduction because of family pressure, but I knew I wasn’t getting married to him. Anyone I know can’t go through domestic violence on my watch, I’ll make sure I try my best to get them out of that situation."

Ilufoye speaks abuse in marriage
She said:
"Domestic abuse in marriage should not be condoned. Someone I know lost a friend to abuse last year, and although the family ensured justice was sought, it was too late because the woman had already passed away. I would encourage every woman to run for their lives once a man starts to hit them. It is better to live to tell the story. Now, her parents are taking care of her two children because the man is in jail."

A faceless blogger had claimed the mother of one was being financed by the governor, who won the 2023 election in Lagos state.
The blogger also alleged that the number one citizen of the state was building a house for her.
