I lost four pregnancies to spousal abuse – Actress Basira Beere on failed marriage

Popular Yoruba actress, Omoshalewa Yusuf, better known as Basira Beere, has finally spoken about her failed marriage.

The actress, during her recent appearance on Talk to B podcast, accused her now ex-husband of physical abuse.

Narrating her experience, Basira Beere, who disclosed that she lost four pregnancies to domestic violence, blamed her prolonged stay in the marriage on advice from her parents.

“When I was about to get married to him, my friends complained that he was of a lower calibre than me, but I told them that I also came from nothing before fame. I sponsored about 70% of our wedding ceremony. I thought I was supporting my man.

“His problem started two days after our wedding. Days after the wedding, a guy texted me to congratulate me on the wedding, and I called him ‘dear,’ and that was when the problem started. It was so tough; he beat me so much that even our landlord tried to intervene.

“If I explained what happened to my parents, they kept telling me to be patient and endure. Only my siblings who were living with me could attest to what I went through. He beat me over little things to the point that I lost about four pregnancies. During the last fight we had, I was covered in blood. In fact, Gistlover posted about it. I don’t know who leaked it to them,” she said.
