\"\"<\/a>In our last edition, we did a cover story which was titled\u201dOmotola in the eye of the storm! Husband angry over butt-grabbing photo at the Grammys\u2026Why she apologized.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story centered around the rumors then spreading all over the world about the state of marriage of Omotola-by far, one of the most visible and popular stars in the Nollywood firmament following a butt-grabbing incident by her escort at the 2011 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles-an event that had Omotola, as the first Nollywood star to ever walk the Red Carpet at the star-studded event.<\/p>\n

The picture had elicited wild rumors and innuendoes \u2013 with some speculating that her relationship with the guy, whose hands was on her backside, had more to it than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

Some had openly stated she was playing games with her marital vows.<\/p>\n

We had reported in the same article our inability to get Omotola to state her own side of the story, since she was shooting a movie in Ghana. We had, however relied on close sources to piece together our facts which provided the background to our story.<\/p>\n

A few days after the story hit the news stands, I received a call from Omotola, who expressed the desire to finally speak on the issue. \u201c I am now going to use this platform to put this issue to rest once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omotola went on to add that \u201cpeople have insinuated all kinds of things and read numerous meaning to what was nothing but an innocuous picture taken of me and a member of my new management team at the Grammys. The picture was an innocent one, signifying nothing.<\/p>\n

I have been married to my husband for 15 years now, and I say this loud and clear that I have never cheated on him, and would never do so ever! Remember I said in an interview I granted you in 2009, that yes, I have been tempted numerous times to violate my marital vows, but I have always resisted the temptation to do anything that would bring dishonor to my marriage and my children. If I told you \u2013 as a popular actress that we have not been tempted, I would be lying to you. But should one sacrifice all what one has built, nurtured and worked hard to establish just because you want to indulge in some ill-motivated affair? No. I don\u2019t believe in that. I count myself blessed to have married a perfect gentleman, a man who has supported me throughout my years in the industry, and is still there, as a rock of Gibraltar. My husband is a rare find, and no amount of temptation will ever make me cheat on him.<\/p>\n

So the notion or the rumor that my haters and nay sayers have spread to the effect that the guy at the Grammys was my boyfriend, is ludicrous to say the least. If I wanted to cheat on my husband, would I do that in the open? Would I advertise my boyfriend for everyone to see and at such a public function? Just analyze that logically \u2013 would that be a commonsensical thing to do?<\/p>\n

This rumor is really a sick one and I\u2019m offended. My husband is my soul-mate and I will never soil or put that trust in jeopardy \u2013 no matter what and the extent of the temptation. It is not worth it.\u201d (At this point, she handed the phone to her husband).<\/p>\n

My wife is no flirt\u00a0 \u2013 Husband<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was obvious from the manner Mr. Ekeinde sounded, that he was pained and frustrated by all the unfounded rumors about his wife\u2019s glorious outing at the Grammys<\/p>\n

\u201cMy brother, I am very proud of my wife\u2019s accomplishments and I join other well wishers and millions of her fans to toast her success. I\u2019m a little surprised that instead of Nigerians celebrating her appearance at the Grammys and her, being the first Nollywood star to walk the red carpet; they are busy spreading tales and rumors that do not exist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr and Mrs Ekeinde<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Truth be told, I was not angry with my wife when I saw the picture. Why should I be? I know who I married, how self-respecting she is and also the nature of her industry. She is an actress for God\u2019s sake, and it is not out of place for actresses to appear in scenes that may look a little out of place for a married person.<\/p>\n

The key thing is that my wife respects her marital status, and in our 15 year marriage, she has been the best woman any man could aspire to have. In spite of her stardom, at home, she is my wife. She cooks for me, takes care of the home and above all, is a great mother to our lovely children.<\/p>\n

I sincerely would implore her fans not to buy into rumors and speculations about her marital life, because I, the husband the one that is lucky to have her as my wife is so proud of her and I continue to thank God for bringing her into my life. I could never have asked for a better wife than her\u201d Mr. Ekeinde a commercial airline pilot had concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
