A fan then turned the tables, challenging her to extend the same courtesy to Funke Akindele. Her response was firm and personal.
"I should clear her name because she was the one accused of assaulting someone? How do some of you think?" she wrote. "She should have been the one to clear my name, but No, she didn't."
Iyanaladuke shares what she did for Funke Akindele
Rather than trade insults, Iyanaladuke chose to let her actions speak. She disclosed that she had actively supported a professional relationship between her then-husband and Funke Akindele, prioritising his career above her own emotional discomfort, even though Funke had been alleged to have played a role in the breakdown of Femi Adebayo's first marriage.

She revealed that on set, she personally knelt as a sign of respect for Funke and ensured the actress was served her meals in a special cooler for comfort.
"If you were in my shoes, would you willingly allow your husband to maintain a cordial relationship with his ex?" she asked. "Most people wouldn't. But I did, I chose maturity over resentment and put his career above my personal feelings."
The caterer concluded by making clear what the post was and was not about: "We don't play favorites or blindly support anyone here. This post is not about clearing anyone's name; it's simply about stating the truth."

She said:
"It is unfortunate that the situation deteriorated to such an extent, but I believe the woman should let go and move on. It is truly painful and heartbreaking, but she needs to heal and live her life without being held back by what happened in her past. She should also try to make peace with her ex-husband for the sake of their son."
