‘My husband is a secure man’ – Mo Bimpe claps back at critics
By Deborah Oyekale
Nollywood actress Mo Bimpe has responded to social media backlash after a short clip of her with colleague Jide Awobona went viral.
The video, taken at the September 2, 2026 premiere of A Mama Deola Wedding Story in Lagos, showed Mo Bimpe seated between Jide and her husband, Lateef Adedimeji.
She was seen leaning on Jide’s shoulder while looking at something on her phone. Some viewers online began analyzing the interaction and suggested Lateef looked uncomfortable, sparking debates about boundaries in marriage.
Mo Bimpe addressed the criticism on her Instagram story on Sunday, saying she found it interesting that a normal conversation between friends was being turned into something suspicious.
The actress stressed that not all marriages operate on fear or control.
She said, “Not every marriage is built on fear, insecurity, and constant monitoring. Some marriages are built on trust, friendship, respect, and confidence. The fact that so many of you found that interaction strange says more about the relationships you’re used to than it does about mine. Not every marriage is toxic, there are still healthy marriages but I understand if you can’t relate. My husband is a secure man, a brief conversation with a family friend does not threaten our marriage, or require anyone’s concern.”
