'Sh*t Happens! You don't have to die in your marriage - Doris Simon Finally speaks Out

Doris Simeon is one of Nollywood’s s*xy

actresses. Several months ago, her

marriage to Daniel Ademinokan packed

up when the news hit the streets that

he was in a hot affair with one of her

colleagues, Stella Damasus. Not only did

her marriage crash, Daniel and Stella

have since relocated abroad to live as

husband and wife. The scenario didn’t

stop there, Doris’ only child was taken

away to the U.S with them. This left

Doris devastated for a while, but she

has bounced back. In this interview with

City People, the pretty actress opened

up on her marriage, and more.

How was growing-up for you?

I grew up in Ojota and growing up for me

was very interesting and comedy-like,

from a ghetto kind of home. I learnt a lot

of things from that environment, it was

really fun for me. Living in a face-me-I-

face-you house, whenever you put the

experience together, it is always like a

movie and then you hear other people’s

silver-spoon story but I think the ghetto

own is the best. You gain a lot of

experience from people you grew up

with, “Aunty Adugbo” and “Uncle

Adugbo”. It was really fun for me.

You seem to have moved on after your

marriage break-up, what really led to

the break-up?

Obviously, life, goes on. Shit happens. If

it is not working well, walk out of it. You

don’t have to die on whatever it is. It is

just one of those things.

What has kept you going after all the

controversies?

My God and the advice of my parents.

Though, they are late but their prayers

and the way they groomed me to this

level before they passed on has really

kept me going.

How where you able to stand after the

whole saga?

It is not easy but I just had to sit up and

think about it, if you die in your agony

what would be left for whoever you

have behind. It is better to sit up. That

is why they said, ‘when there is life,

there is hope’. Sit up and think of the

next step you have to take and think of

how to be a better you and affecting

people’s lives positively.

Did you think it could happen?

Nobody would ever think of anything bad

to themselves. Everything that

happened, God knows it.

Did you see any sign about what

happened?

No there was no sign.
