Former actress Carolina Hutchings accused famous Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, of being part of the reasons her marriage crashed.
Hutchings, who was married to Musa Danjuma, younger brother to General Theophilus Danjuma, a former Minister of Defence, made the allegation on reality tv show ‘Real housewives of Lagos’.
On the show, during a heated argument Hutchings bashed Laura Ikeji, younger sister of the famous blogger, for defending her family.
“Linda is part of the reasons why my marriage broke,” Hutchings said.
“Linda lied about my age. I reached out to her. She wrote that my daughter was for another man. I did not care and you sit down to here to defend your family?
“I have family too, I have children that look up to me. I have people that care for me, you don’t sit down here and tell me you wanna slap me.
In a post on her blog on Saturday morning, Linda Ikeji replied the actress. She wrote:
“Just to set the record straight because people like to believe these things especially when a celebrity makes the claim.
“In it’s 16 years of blogging, Linda Ikeji Blog NEVER EVER wrote that Caroline Danjuma’s daughter is not for her husband. Not only didn’t Linda Ikeji Blog write this, no other blog in Nigeria or beyond wrote this.
“If this was a story written by Linda Ikeji Blog, a lot of other blogs would have carried it. There is no such story online on the thousands of blogs that exist in Nigeria. This is a story that was NEVER written about Caroline Danjuma. It doesn’t exist. PERIOD. Feel free to Google.
“This story was completely made up by Caroline Danjuma. Or she could have seen it as a comment made by anonymous commenters on LIB or any other blog. But this story was NEVER written about her. Other than calling her daughter ADORABLE, we NEVER wrote anything else about her.
“Yes, we did write about Caroline’s age controversy when she came out some years ago to claim she was 27. Many people didn’t believe her and that was the angle of our story. It wasn’t written with malice.
“Two things that we want to make clear. Everyone who knows Caroline Danjuma, knows she blames everyone else for the demise of her marriage. It’s never her fault or the fault of her ex. Even in this so called reality show, another cast member said she lied when she said Linda Ikeji blog contributed to the end of her marriage and mentioned another cast member who Caroline has for years blamed for the end of her marriage. We hope the show airs that episode.
“It was only recently, in a post on Instagram in 2022, that Caroline, finally blamed herself for the end of her marrage.
“Secondly, Caroline has told everyone that cares to listen that she adores and respects Linda Ikeji and doesn’t understand why Linda doesn’t like her. Linda has absolutely nothing against Caroline Danjuma. She just doesn’t know her.
“Finally we ask Caroline to please screengrab the page where Linda Ikeji Blog or any other blog in Nigeria ever wrote that her daughter isn’t for her husband. Its news to everyone today because it was NEVER WRITTEN.”
