Nigerian actor, Timini Egbuson, has reacted to claims by his
ex-girlfriend alleging he is trying to damage her reputation.
Lydia Balogun, estranged girlfriend of the actor, had
accused him of infidelity.
She took to her Instagram account to accuse him of targeting
teenage girls for relationships.
According to her, the actor is a predator, a cradle snatcher
and a pervert.
She had said, “Meeting this man, I had no idea of his sexual
past or who he had been involved with, didn’t know anyone from his social
circle and now I know that is also intentional.
“When he told me he’d make an exception for me despite how
young I was (I was like 19) I actually believed that and thought “wow he must
really like me.”
But reacting, Timini in a statement on his Twitter page said
all the women he has dated were older than the legal consenting age.
According to him, his relationship didn’t work with his ex
due to mistakes from both ends.
“Firstly, I would like to make clear beyond any doubt that I
do not condone courting or having a relationship with anyone under the age of
consent. Rumours are rumours but baseless accusation of sexual abuse or
grooming of underage woman is something I don’t take lightly given the severity
of the issue.
“Lydia and I dated two years ago, we were both consenting
adults and our families knew and approved of each other. Our relationship
didn’t work out due to circumstances we were both at fault for which resulted
in us parting ways.
“Our relationship was a volatile one and mistakes were made
on both ends. Nevertheless, I learned from it and have moved on. I honestly
would like to put that chapter of my life behind me and I wish her well.”
