Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has responded to her estranged husband, businessman and Delta North Senator Ned Nwoko, after he accused her family of introducing her to drugs and undermining her recovery.
In a series of emotional posts and private notes shared online on Sunday, Regina accused Nwoko of manipulation, abuse, and psychological control, claiming he fabricated a narrative to tarnish her reputation while shifting blame onto her family.
“Ned, how could you lie so openly and without remorse? You know my family has absolutely nothing to do with this. You’ve always tried to cut them off because of the bond we share, and now you’re trying to make them look bad for no reason,” she wrote.
While Regina admitted to having used drugs at some point, she said Nwoko weaponised the issue to publicly humiliate her.
“Fine, I did drugs. So what? Is that even the issue between us? The moment we had a fight, you rushed to the public, shouting ‘drugs, drugs, drugs,’ because you knew it would make a perfect story for the media, something dramatic enough to distract everyone from the real issue,” she said.
The actress further accused Nwoko of deliberately isolating her from loved ones to exert control.
“You want to find a reason to arrest everyone around me so that I will have no one left beside me, no friend, no support, no safe place to turn to. Then, when I’m completely isolated and broken, you expect me to come back to you because I’ll have nowhere else to go. That has always been your strategy to break people down, make them weak and powerless, and have your way with them. But guess what? It’s not going to work this time. Not anymore.”
Regina also alleged that Nwoko sought to control her physically and medically:

“You say you want me to go for rehab, but you’re the same Ned who always wanted me high because, in your words, I’m ‘sexier’ when I’m high. You liked me that way because it made me wild and romantic exactly how you wanted me to be. You locked me up, seized my phones, and called doctors to inject me with drugs meant for people with bipolar disorder. Then you tell people I’m mentally unstable whenever I say I no longer want to be in this relationship.”
She described a pattern in which she would be detained and labelled unstable when resisting Nwoko’s control, only for the claims to be withdrawn once she acquiesced.

“Once I change my mind just to get out of that locked room, suddenly I’m fine again. I’m no longer unstable, and apparently not in need of rehab anymore. Why don’t you also tell them that all your wives and ex-wives are on drugs? And can you explain to them why that is?”
Regina also accused Nwoko of seizing her phones and forcing medical injections without consent:
“Why don’t you tell them how you lock me up and have doctors inject me with drugs meant for bipolar patients? You take my phones just because you hate that I talk to my family a lot. You’ve never seen me act incoherent or lose control, so just stop. Every problem we’ve had started when I no longer wanted you whether sober or high.”
In a second post, Regina turned her focus to personal grievances, including a private tape:
“Dearest ex-husband, thanks for breaking the crown you put on my head. No one knew us like we did, and I trusted you with all of me, even with my sextape, which I pray never sees the light of day. Foolish me.”
She also defended her younger self, asserting she was not involved with drugs at the time of their marriage at 17:
“When I married you at 17, was I on drugs? I thank God for time. My name is ruined for now, but I will rewrite my story. That narrative will be dead and gone. Now that I’ve let the one thing you had on me out, what else? It’s time to fight with all of me in court. I’m not backing down now.”
