Delta Governor's Aide Condemns Tonto Dikeh's Public Display of Affection Toward Ex-Husband
Ossai Ovie Success, a prominent aide to the Delta State governor, has launched a strong criticism against Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh for her recent public embrace with her former husband, businessman Olakunle Churchill. The incident occurred during the lavish tenth birthday celebration of their son, King Andre, which was held in Abuja and attended by numerous high-profile guests including Obi Cubana and actress Empress Njamah.
Ossai Ovie Expresses Disappointment Over Boundary Violation
In a detailed social media post shared across both his X and Instagram platforms, Ossai Ovie expressed profound disappointment with Tonto Dikeh's behavior. He emphasized that Churchill is now legally married to actress Rosy Meurer, and such public displays of affection blatantly disregard the established boundaries of their current marital relationship. While acknowledging the importance of co-parenting and celebrating their son's milestone, Ossai argued that Tonto should have exercised greater sensitivity toward Rosy Meurer's potential emotional response.
"Tonto Dikeh hugging her ex-husband Olakunle Churchill this way is disappointing. She should've considered his wife, Rosy Meurer, and how she'd feel seeing that display of affection. It's not right, and I think it's unfair to Rosy. Tonto Dikeh should respect boundaries, especially when it comes to someone else's marriage," Ossai wrote in his post.Netizens Divided Over the Controversy
The public reaction to Ossai Ovie's criticism has been sharply divided, with many social media users expressing contrasting viewpoints. Some commentators supported Ossai's position, arguing that Tonto Dikeh should maintain more discreet co-parenting arrangements away from the public eye now that Churchill has remarried. Others dismissed the criticism as unnecessary gossip and interference in personal matters, suggesting that individuals should focus on their own affairs rather than policing the behavior of celebrities.
- One user commented: "One of the major problems in this country people see truth and don't speak up base on emotions and sentiment. If you have left the marriage and the man also has found someone else and got married, why not do your co-parenting off camera and move on?"
- Another netizen responded: "These days minding ones business is so difficult, I thought we are in lent ukochuckwu, mind your business na."
- A different perspective emerged with: "Some of Una Dey ment. Did Rose considered Tonto that time?"
Rosy Meurer's Previous Statements on Co-Parenting Arrangement
Interestingly, this controversy emerges against the backdrop of previous statements made by Rosy Meurer herself regarding the relationship between her husband and his ex-wife. In a recent live video session with media personality Daddy Freeze, Rosy revealed that she played an instrumental role in facilitating the reconciliation between Churchill and Tonto Dikeh. She stated unequivocally that the reunion would not have been possible without her explicit approval and support.
The Gambian actress further explained that her husband maintains transparent communication with her regarding all interactions with Tonto, including sharing photographs before posting them on social media. Rosy emphasized her full support for the co-parenting arrangement, noting that Churchill had informed her of his decision to hand over their son Andre's passport to his mother, and she had endorsed this move completely.
This developing story highlights the complex dynamics of celebrity relationships, co-parenting arrangements, and public perceptions of appropriate boundaries in post-divorce interactions.
