Esther Nwachukwu, a controversial figure in the entertainment industry, opened up about the impact of her challenging upbringing on her deep yearning for love. In an interview with Punch Saturday Beats, she revealed that her childhood, spent away from her parents and under the care of relatives, was marked by maltreatment.
When questioned about whether her upbringing had left a mark on her love life, Esther affirmed, "Yes, it has. In every relationship I have been involved in, I have always needed more love. I just want to be loved." This longing for affection, she disclosed, has persisted into her adult years.
Esther Nwachukwu also delved into her connection with Pope Odonwodo, a married actor. While she described their relationship as being based on friendship, she didn't mince words about his character, stating that he was not straightforward.
When asked if she had made advances toward him, Esther clarified, "I cannot make advances at a man. It is a man who would make advances on me. He knows he cannot reach out to me (since I called him out), because I have blocked him everywhere (on social media)."
In a lighthearted moment, the actress addressed a statement she had previously made about preferring to date married men over single ones. She clarified, "I did not mean what I said. I was just using it to ‘catch cruise’. I am a very controversial person."
Explaining the rationale behind her controversial persona, Esther stated, "I am not doing it to grow followers on social media. I lost my Instagram page with hundreds of thousands of followers because of my controversy. I was raised in a bitter way. I wasn’t raised with love. That is why I am this way. If I make money, I will stop being controversial."
