Renowned comedian and actor Ayo Makun, known as AY, recently opened up about the challenges facing his 20-year marriage to Mabel.
Amidst swirling rumors and allegations of marital discord, AY took to Instagram to address the situation.
In his post, AY confronted the rumors head-on, expressing regret over certain actions and emphasizing his decision to keep family matters private.
“Many people believe that staying silent simply means that one is incapable of dealing with issues. Projecting a negative narrative against someone who is not struggling to defend himself doesn’t mean he is weak.
“Some of us are just logical enough to understand the difference between opinions, values, beliefs, and facts.
“The personality and ability that I possess simply confirm that i have reached that stage in my life where I can not be entertaining the public with deep personal family issues. They just might be too much to handle concerning the individuals involved.
“Not even when I have a grown-up daughter who has access to social media. Her mental health needs to be protected from seeing things she can not be proud of online.
“Yes! Without compromising my family, I have found myself doing some things that I am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it’s another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blame in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win. I can tell you for free that no one is completely innocent enough to cast stones.
“Presently, I am loving the way that lies about me in all these blogs are travelling faster than the truth. But my painful truth will eventually beat away all the lies.”
AY and Mabel have been married since November 2008 and share two children. Their commitment to their family remains strong despite the public scrutiny and personal tribulations they face.
