Mercy and her husband, Lanre Gentry, have been in news for accusations and counter-accusations of domestic violence. Although, the actress filed a case in court against her husband, she has been absent from hearings.
After sharing a video of wounds she obtained from the last attack her husband launched on her, the actress has shared chat messages where her hubby promised not to beat her again. From the tone of the chat, there might just be a come-back...
Mercy shared this conversation where she urged women to speak up against domestic violence.
"Why will a man who obviously beat his wife, try so much to deny what he did? My take is because he knows what he did is wrong and apparently he is ashamed and cannot own up to it...... Let us be very careful of what we do especially when we are Angry as we might not know the consequences of that action.......Violence, like I keep saying, does not and will not solve anything, let us learn to control our anger at all times..... Arguments are bound to happen between couples but under no circumstances should we let it result to violence! Nobody has a right to hit, his or her partner regardless........
Battery and Assault is a CRIME! #saynodomesticviolence #saynotoassault
Join us in the #1in3Africa campaign, a campaign against violence! We are walking the streets of lagos to show our displeasure at this menace that is eating deep into our system....... Join us tomorrow by 10am, Start off point is Falomo Bridge by Awolowo Road......
Conflicts should be settled amicably and not through violence, only weak men hit women."
Mercy will be leading a walk against domestic violence today in Ikoyi, Lagos.
