Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has once again found herself at the center of online attention after sharing a playful new video on social media amid her ongoing marital crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko.
The actress, who has been in the headlines following a series of shocking allegations about her estranged husband, took to her TikTok and Instagram story to share a lighthearted clip of herself dancing and flaunting her new cornrow hairstyle.
In the short video, Regina appeared radiant and carefree but for many fans, her cheerful demeanor sparked mixed emotions.
One user, @GoldenDubaiCeo, questioned, “How do Nigerians take this girl seriously now?” while another, @Bab’s Wigs, wrote, “How many of you checked her profile to confirm if this is an old video?”
Some netizens expressed concern for the actress’s mental health, hinting at the emotional weight behind her smile. @Viccom Luxury commented, “Deep down these smiles are so much pain. If you’re close to her, please stay closer this time.”
Others, however, applauded her strength and composure. @Angel encouraged her, saying, “That’s the spirit, never lose your joy.”
Another fan, @ZeeCloset, wrote, “Dance it out, mama. Problem no dey finish.” @November23 added, “She’s fully back. No sign of weakness.”
Regina’s post comes just days after she publicly declared war on her husband, describing their feud as “power for power, aura for aura.”
Responding to Ned Nwoko’s recent public statement, the actress accused him of hypocrisy, alleging that he once encouraged her drug use because it made her “sexier, wild, and romantic.”
She further claimed that her husband “always forced himself” on her, “locked her up,” seized her phones, and branded her mentally unstable whenever she expressed the desire to leave the marriage.
In another post, she admitted to experimenting with drugs only because, according to her, it was what her husband wanted. “When I married him at 17, was I on drugs?” she asked rhetorically.
While some fans believe the actress’s new video is a coping mechanism, others see it as an act of defiance; a statement that she won’t be defined by her current struggles.
