Former Big Brother Naija housemate Angel Smith’s estranged partner Tumininu has openly declared that the reality star’s mother is the biggest issue in their crumbling marriage. In a series of fiery Snapchat posts, Tumininu accused Angel’s mum of pushing the rushed wedding and fueling ongoing lies, while insisting she only ever tried to protect the star.
Tumininu, who married Angel in a lavish all-black ceremony barely two weeks before the drama exploded, did not mince words.
“Angel’s mom is her problem.”
She went on to explain her side:
“All I did was help your daughter. I tried to save her multiple times, but a gangster was moving her. Do I love her? Yes, but when she started acting irrationally, that’s when Angel’s mum told me to get the wedding done; she said she would change after. More reasons why it was rushed.”
Tumininu warned the mother against pushing her daughter into more trouble:
“Angel mom, stop now, before you get this girl into trouble. Please stop.”
She also addressed viral claims that she called the police on Angel and seized her passport.
“I have not called cops on Angel, not for once. Instead, each time the police arrive, I protect her and tell her that nothing is going on. She knows who is calling the cops all the time. Angel, please, all this lies has to stop.”
Tumininu claimed she has repeatedly covered for Angel during police visits, adding,
“Each time police arrive, I will cover you up and say this is my wife, we will sort it out. Speak the truth, Angel. Stop speaking through your mom.”
Expressing exhaustion, Tumininu revealed she has already paid Angel $8,000 for emotional damage yet watched her continue shopping and enjoying luxury.
“I’m done, please. Wrap it up. I am tired. I didn’t call the cops on you, you stole my money, went to Dior. After I paid for emotional damage, I don die. You still drink champagne at Dior on my money.”
She backed her claims by sharing private chats between herself and Angel.
Angel’s mother, Titilayo, has hit back strongly, refusing to let anyone “make my child’s life miserable” and describing Tumininu as a 36-year-old woman ten years older than her daughter. Angel’s father also stepped in, stressing that the family stands united behind their daughter no matter what.
