Actress Stella Damascus Defends Herself After She Was Accused By Instagram Followers Of Supporting Domestic Violence

US based Nollywood actress Stella Damasus said this while addressing fans who accused her of supporting domestic violence after she posted a movie scene of how a wife fought her husband who was almost beating her for insulting his girlfriend as she walked in on them making out on the couch.

She said;


''For me, posting that clip was not to promote any domestic violence. Here is why I posted it

I have been in the industry for 27 years and our movies would always portray the women as the victim all the time. The way the scene would play out the man would kick and beat his wife out. It's now a norm in Africa and Nigeria, for a man to now slap his wife or beat is wife people think it's fine but it is not.


I'm not here to promote domestic violence it's clear that you are a man, you are saying "violence between man and woman is wrong"... no one said it's right. You are talking now because it is the other way around. 

We have seen films where men will slap their wives have you ever talked about it? have you ever used your phone and itching fingers to warn men to stop beating women? You have never but because the roles are reversed all the men are coming out to say " it's not good, you are supporting violence" I am not supporting violence, I am supporting every woman to be able to stand up for themselves if you have an opportunity to learn martial arts learn it so that any man who wants to lay hands on you, molest you, rape you at least have a skill in you to be able to push them , strike them then run for help if you will see help because in the culture where we come from when you say your husband raped or beat you they would turn it around for you to look like the perpetrator.

 You as the victim will be victimized and traumatized''
