In a conversation that has set tongues wagging and comment sections on fire, veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, candidly shared his perspective on the complexities of fidelity within the entertainment industry, particularly for married male celebrities.
Speaking on the Teju Babyface:King of Talk Podcast hosted by comedian Olateju Oyelakin, RMD acknowledged that remaining faithful in marriage as an entertainer is indeed a daunting challenge.
The 62-year-old actor shared that male celebrities, like himself, often find themselves in tempting situations. Sometimes, their admirers, especially those of the opposite sex, entice them into infidelity.
RMD explained, “It’s very hard for entertainers to be faithful in marriage because of the line of work that we are in. Every one of us is married, we are the target. Look at how women are, how can you escape it? Women are like Delilah, they are like Jezebel, they prepare… The only way the enemy can perpetrate their real intention is to constantly aim at the image of God or the symbol of authority in any home. Then shut it down. It’s like shooting a General on the battlefield. You drop him and then the battalion scatters. Their mission is to take down the head of the family.”
He went on to emphasize that staying faithful becomes more achievable when spouses are on the same page about the unique challenges of the industry. “So, it’s very difficult [to be faithful]. You have to get to the point where your wife understands what she is up against as well. Because if your wife is not up to speed on what she is up against, then you would be left open,” RMD added.
His insights shed light on the complex dynamics that can strain marriages within the entertainment world.
