My new husband is entitled to many wives – Mercy Aigbe

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has responded to critics accusing her of snatching another woman’s husband, saying that her new husband is a Muslim and is entitled to many wives.

According to TVC talk show host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, Mercy Aigbe, who drew a lot of criticism of snatching another woman’s husband, said she does not care about people say about her and her new marriage as long as she is happy.

On the show, Afolabi-Brown claimed to have received a call from Mercy who said she wanted to correct the impression of her critics.

“I spoke to her (Mercy) last night; in fact, she called me to correct an impression and that it is wrong for us to say, ‘how can she go and marry her ex-husband’s best friend.’ She said they were never friends.

“They only attended an event where her present husband, a marketer in the industry, invited her to his birthday party, which she had attended in her ex-husband’s company.

“She told me that the man is a Muslim, he’s entitled to more than one wife, so yes, he has issues with the first wife, and he is now married to her as the second wife and as a second wife, doesn’t she deserve to be happy?” Afolabi-Brown said.

The TVC host also said that Aigbe complained about several derogatory messages people sent her on Instagram, and how it has been depressing to her and her children.
