According to her, Johnson was having a sexual relationship with his colleagues.

Social media trolls didn’t allow the two rest. The issue was over flogged and even Toyin Aimakhu didn’t let sleeping dogs lie...always sharing videos talking about his sexual escapades.

2. Lilian Esoro and Ubi Franklin

Then this year saw Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro in the news for the wrong reasons.

Esoro was said to have split from her husband, after the birth of their son, over alleged reports of infidelity and domestic abuse.

The duo who were crazy over each other, constantly showing their love on social media, suddenly stopped.

Although, Ubi Franklin still professes his love for Lilian but his actress wife wants to be left alone.

The actress was noticeably absent during the grand opening of Ubi's new business venture Tilt Terrace in Lekki, on October 30, 2016.

4. Toyin Aimakhu and Seun Egbegbe

A month after her breakup with Adeniyi Johnson, Toyin wasn't even legally divorced before she started a whirlwind romance with Ebony Films and Records  boss, Seun Egbegbe.

Their breakup was even messier than her marital drama. Egbegbe reportedly seized her phones at a movie location and was accused of kidnapping her too.
