Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has broken her silence following a series of allegations made by her estranged partner, Senator Ned Nwoko, who claimed that her siblings and friends sabotaged her rehabilitation and introduced her to illegal substances.
In a statement shared via her Instagram stories on Sunday, the actress accused Nwoko of “lying openly without remorse” and using her personal struggles to manipulate public perception.
“Ned, how could you lie so openly and without even small remorse? You know my family has absolutely nothing to do with this,” she wrote in one of several posts, which appeared to have been drafted on November 9, 2025. “You have always tried to cut them off because of the bond we share, and now you are trying to make them look bad for no reason.”
Regina admitted to using drugs but dismissed Nwoko’s claims that it was the core issue in their relationship. “Fine, I did drugs. So what? Is that even the issue between us? The moment we had a fight, you rushed to the public shouting ‘drugs, drugs, drugs,’ because you knew it would make a perfect story for the media,” she said, accusing the senator of attempting to isolate her from loved ones.
“You want to arrest everyone around me so that I will have no one left beside me, no friend, no support, no safe place to turn to,” she added. “Then when I’m completely broken, you expect me to come back to you. That has always been your strategy, break people down, make them weak, and then have your way with them.”
In another slide, the actress alleged that Nwoko encouraged her drug use for sexual reasons and accused him of physical and psychological abuse. “You say you want me to go for rehab, but you are the same Ned who always wanted me high because, in your words, I’m ‘sexier’ when I’m high,” she wrote. “Why don’t you tell them how you force yourself on me whenever I say no? Or how you lock me up, seize my phones, and call me ‘mentally unstable’ whenever I say I no longer want this relationship.”
She also claimed that Nwoko restricted her communication with her family and accused him of coercing doctors to inject her with drugs meant for patients with bipolar disorder. “You take my phones for weeks because you hate that I talk to my family a lot. Stop using the ‘drugs’ narrative to distract people,” she stated.
Regina further alleged that their relationship was never legally recognized, insisting that no marriage documents were ever signed. “For the record, I would have filed for divorce long ago if there was ever a legal marriage between us. We were never married in any court of law. Marriage is not by force. Love is not by force. Stop trying to control what no longer belongs to you.”
The actress concluded her post by expressing gratitude for finding strength despite the public scandal. “I just feel so ashamed that all these had to come out in the messiest way,” she wrote.
Nwoko has yet to respond to Regina’s claims as of press time.
