Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has addressed recent controversies surrounding her personal life by undergoing a drug test, a step she revealed in an emotional Instagram post on Wednesday.
The actress explained that her decision followed months of intense pressure and public scrutiny, describing the period as deeply challenging and emotionally draining.
Reflecting on the experience, Daniels said she was able to pull through because of the love, patience and support she received from her family, friends and members of the public, for which she expressed profound gratitude.
She noted that after much self-reflection, she chose to take the test not only for her own peace of mind but also out of respect for those who stood by her and those who look up to her, stressing that integrity and accountability are important to her.
According to Daniels, the move was prompted by persistent rumours branding her a drug addictโclaims she described as false, painful and rooted in projection rather than reality. She emphasised that she would not allow public opinion to define her, choosing instead to shape her own narrative.
The actress described the phase as a turning point marked by self-discovery and personal growth, adding that she remains thankful to God for strength, grace and resilience. She said she is still standing, still growing and ready to move forward into the new year with renewed purpose.
Her announcement comes amid ongoing public attention on her marriage to billionaire businessman and lawmaker, Senator Ned Nwoko, which has reportedly broken down. In recent months, both sides have exchanged serious allegations, including claims of domestic issues and substance abuse, all of which remain subjects of public debate.
