Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Daniels has publicly reacted to her daughter Regina Daniels' recently shared substance test results. In a post on her Instagram page, Daniels expressed overwhelming happiness and made a significant vow regarding her support for the younger actress.
Mother's Joy and Public Vow
Rita Daniels described her daughter, Regina, as the pride of her life following the release of the test results, which came out negative. The test was taken by Regina Daniels to clear her name after allegations of substance use were made, notably by her estranged husband.
In her emotional online message, Rita Daniels vowed to always be there to cheer Regina up, calling her a good girl. She went further to shower her daughter with prayers, stating that her light will never go dim and that her glory and grace would never be covered.
The actress, who recently contested in the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) election, also prayed that God would fight Regina's battles and avenge her of all her enemies speedily.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Followers
The reaction to Rita Daniels' post was not unanimously positive. A significant portion of fans and social media users questioned her response, leading to a division in the comments section.
Many asked why the negative result made her so happy if she truly believed the initial allegations were false from the start. Others pointedly suggested that Rita Daniels might be part of her daughter's problems, with some recalling that Regina had previously confessed to taking a particular substance.
Critical comments urged the veteran actress to focus on advising her daughter and addressing potential addiction issues rather than just celebrating the test result. Some users directly blamed Rita for her daughter's marital issues, a sentiment that has surfaced online before.
Background of the Controversy
The controversy began when Regina Daniels was accused of drug addiction. Her estranged husband had allegedly advised her to seek rehabilitation. In response, Regina Daniels underwent a substance test abroad and shared the negative result online a few days ago, a move that itself drew criticism from fans who felt she should have done it immediately when the allegations first arose.
The story has continued to generate significant buzz, with other figures like Oyemykke also reacting to the test video. The ongoing marital saga between Regina Daniels and her estranged husband remains a focal point for public discussion.
Despite the backlash from some quarters, supportive comments also flooded Rita Daniels' post. Followers like @olajumoke278 offered prayers, while @betty_ug simply expressed shared happiness for the mother.
