Popular Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim has recounted her ordeals with an abusive partner who she accused of locking her up and subjecting her to daily rαpe.
During a chat with media entrepreneur, Chude Jideonwo, the actress said her ex-lover would often force his way with her without her consent and lock her in his room for days.
Juliet, who did not reveal the identity of her former lover, said after abusing her sexually, the man usually justifies his actions that he didn’t rape her because they were in a relationship.
She said, “I told him what he did was rape and he said but we were in a relationship. But was I ready, that was the question, did I say I was in the mood? I kept saying no, stop it, stop it, you pin me down and you’re doing whatever you wanted to do and you’re smiling saying don’t worry.
“And you’re kissing whilst I’m crying, that means you’re a rapist and I had to leave that relationship. I fought my way out of that relationship because he even locked me up in his house for days until my sister Sonia came to find me.
“I was scared, uncertain of what to do because this guy was huge and taller than me. He can raise you above the wall. And just imagine that it was every day. Every day, he wanted to do something. That is rape.
The 36-year-old curvy actress further advised women in any form of abusive relationship especially that which involves rape to draw courage and report their partners to appropriate authorities.
Juliet added, “You’re naive. Who do you go and tell? Who would come and fight for you? But ladies you can report it now, go and report. If your husband is forcing you to do when you’re not in the mood it is rape and I tell these men that you cannot force a woman.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Juliet Ibrahim had also revealed that her first heartbreak happened when she found out that her ex-boyfriend had an affair with her cousin and friend at the same time.
