According to Mary, she had previously contacted Irewole privately to address the situation woman to woman.
The actress reportedly denied any knowledge that the man was married, dismissed him as not her type, called him names, and claimed to have blocked him. Mary, however, said none of that was true and that the relationship carried on regardless.

Mary went further, alleging that her husband had been bankrolling significant aspects of Irewole's career and lifestyle.

she wrote: "She portrays herself as a successful, hardworking, and consistent actress; meanwhile, she's a home wrecker."
She added that despite her husband reportedly ending the relationship, Irewole had allegedly continued reaching out using different phone numbers and asking for money.

"I want to apologise to my family and friends who might seem disappointed in me for coming out this way, but just know I've held my peace for so long, and if you haven't been in my shoes, you wouldn't know how it fits."
