Media Personality, Moet Abebe Opens Up About Surviving An Abusive Relationship

In a heartfelt conversation with renowned interviewer Chude Jideonwo, media personality Moet Abebe bravely revealed her past engagement to an abusive partner.

Abebe disclosed that she narrowly escaped what could have been a disastrous marriage to her “violent” ex-fiancé.

During the interview, Abebe recounted her harrowing experience of enduring an abusive relationship for approximately two and a half years. With a strong sense of self-worth and determination, she ultimately made the courageous decision to break free from the toxic cycle, ceasing all communication with her abuser.

Sharing her story with Jideonwo, Abebe emphasized the importance of recognizing one’s own value and refusing to accept mistreatment.

“I could have been a married woman right now. I was engaged, but it didn’t work out,” she said.

“Also, it was a violent relationship. And I realised that is not what I want for myself. I‘ve also seen few violent relationships and I realized that’s not what I want for myself as well.

“I was in a violent relationship for about two and a half years. It wasn’t even a thing that someone had to come and drag me, I needed to sort of realize that no Moet, this cannot be you loving yourself.

“You being here means that you don’t want the best for yourself. And that was how we just had one fight and I never picked up his phone call again.”

The 33-year-old actress also disclosed that her parents were not married, adding that she lacked paternal love.

“My parents are not together, they were never married. I’m what they call a love child,” she said.

“But I didn’t necessarily get paternal love. I’ve always had to fight and protect what’s mine.”

In 2021, the on-air personality said she is not interested in getting married because “it is a fraud.”

“I don’t think I want to get married, it is a major fraud, but what do I know. Not that it is 100 percent certain that this is the decision I will stand to for the rest of my life,” she had said.

“Never did I say you people shouldn’t marry, but as for me, I’m not interested in it for myself, you see it as beautiful, I see it as a fraud.”
