Veteran Nollywood actor RMD has acknowledged the challenges of fidelity in entertainment, highlighting how married male celebrities frequently face advances from eager women seeking to lead them astray.
He shared these insights during a recent episode of the Teju Babyface Deep Dive Podcast, hosted by comedian Teju Babyface.
Mofe-Damijo said, “It’s very hard for entertainers to be faithful in marriage because of the line of work that we are in. Every one of us is married, we are the target. Look at how women are, how can you escape it? Women are like Delilah, they are like Jezebel, they prepare… The only way the enemy can perpetrate their real intention is to constantly aim at the image of God or the symbol of authority in any home. Then shut it down. It’s like shooting a General on the battlefield. You drop him and then the battalion scatter. Their mission is to take down the head of the family.
“So, it’s very difficult [to be faithful]. You have to get to the point where your wife understands what she is up against as well. Because if your wife is not up to speed on what she is up against, then you would be left open.”
RMD is married to television personality Jumobi Adegbesan. Following the loss of his first wife, talk show host May Ellen ‘MEE’ Mofe-Damijo in 1996, he entered into this new marriage.
