There have been reports that delectable actress, Stella Damasus snatched Daniel
Ademinokan from his pretty wife, Doris Simeon.
But since then, the actress has kept a sealed lip over the allegations. She and Daniel
have claimed what they have between them is strictly business. Both of them now live
in the US and attend events together like lovers.
However, in a recent interview with Golden Icons, Stella, a mother of two, finally
confirmed having an affair with Daniel, a respected filmmaker and director. She also
spoke on how she moved on after the death of her first husband, Jaiye Aboderin
about 10 years ago and the real reason her second marriage crashed.
On tying the knot with Jaiye Aboderin at the age of 21, Stella said: “I always wanted
to start early. I always wanted to have children early. I wanted to have a marriage
early. I wanted to grow with a family.
I wanted to learn the inside of it, I didn’t
want to wait and grow, and mature, and become big and famous then start to
wonder ‘oh, will anyone marry me now’.
“I didn’t want that to happen because at 16,
I was already popular. I was making money, I was travelling.
So at that point looking at my life, I said, ‘if I do this for another five, six or seven
years, and I don’t start a family, it will become more difficult for me later on. And
so, I decided if I find somebody who I love, who will love me back, we will go together.
We will fight all the fight, make up, we will do whatever, but we will grow old
together. And that’s what happened.
“And I am happy I made that decision, because
today, I have a 15 year old. I grew up with my children. When you see the three of
us, and you see my daughters, you will think we are sisters. We talk as friends.
So it was an important thing for me. To have a family, and have that…I needed
something to check me. “We have a tendency to be crazy and do whatever we like
because we could get away with anything, we could travel all over the world, we could
get people to like us like this (snaps finger), we had money to throw around. “If I
don’t have that family unit to check me, I don’t know what I would have become and
I won’t lie about that.” She spoke about how she recovered after losing her dead husband.
and then that’s it, it’s gone, it’s gone, No. This is someone you planned to spend the
rest of your life with, and grow with. “We made plans, like every other couple. And
when that happened…he died when I was 26 with two children. I just felt that my life
had ended. So, but with time, this year, December 3rd will 10 years, one full decade.
“So it is not healing, I won’t call it healing but I will say it numbs it and once in a
while, it comes up and the pain is as fresh like yesterday but it is how you deal with
it that matters. “And that’s what I have had to do for the past 10 years but I am
very grateful for the family I have, for the people I have around me. For that, you
need a lot of strength. God helped me through it all.” Stella also cleared the
speculation that her movie ‘Widow’ was her true life experience. “’Widow’ is a true life
story but not my story. The woman who I played lives with her children in the UK.
I did Widow, months before my husband passed away. So I saw the lady that I played,
so when the movie came out, the movie came out after my husband had died. “It
didn’t come out before. So when it came out, everybody thought ‘oh that’s her story,
she was telling her story’. It wasn’t my story. I wasn’t upset, I was actually grateful
that I did such a great job that people believed that it was me. Because as at the
time I was doing it, my husband was, in fact he was the one dropping me off on
location. So it means I must have done a very good job for people to actual feel it
and say oh that’s her story.” On her relationship with Daniel Ademinokan:
“Let me put it this way. Let me help you hit the nail on the head. One of the
comments I have seen consistently, over and over again, is ‘Stella snatches
somebody’s husband’, ‘Stella the husband snatcher’, which is what has been going on.
And I had sworn that I would never talk about it, or even listen or stress myself
about this thing but I have decided to do this now, so that I end this once and for all.
“First of all, let me paint a picture for you and you let me know what makes sense to
you. When I looked up the word snatch or steal, ehh, let’s go to the dictionary.
It means, forcefully taking something away from its original position; forcefully from
its original position to another position; something that does not belong to you. That’s
what I gathered from the word snatch or steal. So, I looked at me, Stella, and I
wondered to myself, how is it possible to go to somebody’s home, and take a man,
and take his son, away from his home and say follow me. You are a man, and
according to their story, he is happily married inside his home. With his family
complete and I walk into that home, to forcefully take a man, able bodied man, and a
kid, away from somebody’s hand and you are there looking at me.
How does that work? “Did they accuse me of using voodoo? Yes or no? They said no.
Okay, did I put a gun on anybody’s head and remove somebody from somewhere?
They said no. So logically, if people actually sit down and think about it intelligently,
how do you snatch somebody from somebody and the person is there looking at you?
“So, when you see a man who has settled ties with a woman and decides to move on
with his life and you feel that there is something in this man that you like and he
likes you. I am not a kid. I am 36 years old.
