My Uncles Sexually Abused Me At 5- Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode

Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode has revealed the traumatic experiences she endured while growing up, including abuse, manipulation, and hardship that shaped her early life.

She shared her story during an interview on the popular podcast WithChude.

“I have been sexually abused since I was 5 by multiple men whom I called uncles. It happened until I was 10 years old. At this stage, my mom and dad separated despite the many times I kept asking God to bring them together,” she said.

Speaking on her experience, Juliana stated that after her father remarried, her stepmother made life a living hell for her.

“My stepmother took me through hell, forcing my brother and me to hawk without my father’s knowledge. We even had to pretend to be blind to get the day’s ticket. Not until one day, my own mother saw my brother hawking on the road, and she was in disbelief.”

Shedding more light on her experiences, she detailed the abuse she suffered from a young age and the manipulation she endured from figures she trusted.

Her encounter revealed the struggles many children face and the importance of protection and support for victims.

“I was ab*sed by my music teacher and also disengaged by him. The church I got into at 16 years, the pastor manipulated me deeply, took over my social media account, and even ruined my upcoming marriage, destroyed my professional relationships including that with super star Funke Akindele,” she added.
