I felt disrespected and used, like a maid in my own home, despite everything I was doing for her, says Tumininu, Angel Smith’s wife
I still remember the day Angel Smith, the Big Brother Naija star, got married to her wife Tumininu, it was all over the news, and everyone was talking about it, little did we know that their Angel Smith Marriage would end in a crash, just like that. The news of their marriage crash has been making the rounds, and now Tumininu is speaking out, sharing her side of the story, and it is a story of love, betrayal, and heartbreak.
As I read through Tumininu’s statement, I could feel the pain and the hurt, she was not holding back, she was telling it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and it was clear that their Angel Smith Marriage was not as perfect as we thought. She started by saying that she was the one who brought Angel to America, and she covered all the visa expenses, she was the one who asked her to move in with her, and she made sure Angel knew everything about her past relationship with Mally.
What Led to the Crash
Tumininu went on to explain that she supported Angel completely, financially and at home, she cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, trying to make her comfortable, but instead of building a life together, Angel started spending time with people she met on a dating site, and this was the beginning of the end of their Angel Smith Marriage. She would go out with them, and then come back and still expect financial support from Tumininu, this was a red flag, and Tumininu knew it.
“Her behavior became increasingly troubling, I even involved her mother when things escalated, especially when she started acting recklessly and nearly got arrested,” says Tumininu, and this was just the beginning of the troubles they faced in their Angel Smith Marriage. They rushed into marriage so Angel could stay in the country legally, but this was not the solution to their problems, it was just the beginning of more troubles.
The Final Straw
As time went on, things only got worse, Angel started engaging with people she barely knew, going out late, and putting herself in risky situations, Tumininu felt disrespected and used, like a maid in her own home, despite everything she was doing for her, and this was the final straw, the end of their Angel Smith Marriage. She made repeated efforts to communicate and resolve things, but there was no change, and eventually, she reached her limit and issued divorce papers.
What This Means: The end of Angel Smith Marriage is a reminder that relationships are not always easy, and sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things just do not work out, and it is okay to walk away, it is okay to say no, and it is okay to move on.
As I read through the comments on social media, I could see that people were divided, some were supporting Tumininu, while others were supporting Angel, but one thing was clear, their Angel Smith Marriage was over, and it was time to move on. Tumininu has made it clear that she is stepping away completely, and she will not allow someone to damage the life she has built, she has done more than enough, and it is time for her to focus on herself.
Moving Forward
Tumininu has also clarified issues regarding personal belongings, and attempts at resolving the matter privately, she says she did not take any of Angel’s belongings, some of her items are still with her, while the rest have already been moved to her stranger’s friend residence, she has attempted to resolve this privately and respectfully, including apologizing for any inappropriate words said in frustration, but Angel has been uncooperative. According to a report by Pulse.ng, this is not the first time we are seeing a celebrity marriage crash, and it is a reminder that relationships are not always easy.
What This Means: The end of Angel Smith Marriage is a reminder that relationships are not always easy, and sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things just do not work out, and it is okay to walk away, it is okay to say no, and it is okay to move on, as stated by Vanguard, relationships are a two way street, and both parties must be willing to work together to make it work.
