Veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw recently opened up about a past relationship that ended when she found out her ex-partner was dealing with mental health issues and was controlling.
In an interview on the Tea With Tay Podcast, Henshaw shared that her ex had planned to marry her and had even bought a ring. She said she was happy at first and thought the relationship could lead to marriage.
However, Henshaw said things changed after a close friend told her to slow down and notice some warning signs. She explained that her ex became very possessive and tried to control many aspects of her life, like her clothing and decisions.
She said things got worse when she noticed his mental health struggles and aggressive behaviour. Henshaw eventually chose to end the relationship because she no longer felt comfortable staying with him.
The Nollywood star said that as the relationship got worse, protecting her peace and safety became her top priority.
She said: “There was one who wanted to marry me, he has mental issues. I am sure if he sees this video he will know he is the one I am talking about. He is Schizophrenic in nature, he is not alright. He had bought ring and I was excited but my bestie told me to slow down. The man was very possessive.”
