Veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has acknowledged the significant challenges faced by entertainers in maintaining fidelity in their marriages. He highlights that male celebrities in particular often become susceptible to the advances of desperate individuals seeking to lure them into infidelity.
During an episode of the Teju Babyface Deep Dive Podcast hosted by comedian Olateju Oyelakin, Mofe-Damijo emphasized the difficult position that entertainers find themselves in due to the nature of their profession. He explains that as married individuals, they become prime targets for attention and temptation from admirers.
In his words, women can be persistent in their pursuit, likening them to biblical figures such as Delilah and Jezebel.Mofe-Damijo draws an analogy between these situations and battles on a battlefield. The intended purpose of those seeking to undermine marriages is to target the head of the family or the symbol of authority, thereby destabilizing the entire household.
“So, it’s very difficult [to be faithful]. You have to get to the point where your wife understands what she is up against as well. Because if your wife is not up to speed on what she is up against, then you would be left open.”
RMD is married to television personality Jumobi Adegbesan. The couple got married after he lost his first wife, talk show host May Ellen ‘MEE’ Mofe-Damijo in 1996.
