Alero Falope, the new wife of Dino Melaye who moved out of the house last week has finally spoken. She has denied ever been beaten by her husband, she claims she still loves him like ‘crazy’ and dissed Dino’s ex-wife Tokunbo – we thought they were friends already…?!
See excerpts from her interview with SDK below:
“Yes, I exchanged SMS with Tokunbo
but I only did that because I thought it would remain between us and besides I
needed to connect with someone who might understand where I was coming
from. Tokunbo sent me a long mail earlier this year detailing all the bad
sides of Dino and what she had lived with. At the point I contacted her, some
of what she said made sense and because of my state of mind, I stupidly thought
I could talk to her about some of her experience which I could relate with.

The experience I refer to has
nothing to do with violence in any form.

contacting her and I feel bad that she made the contents of our exchange public

I also needed her to know that I
wasn’t the reason her marriage ended, at the time I met Dino, he told me he was
divorced and I believed him”.

Domestic Violence?
“Let me state here now that Dino
might be a lot of things but he never beat me and that’s the truth. There were just some things I couldn’t handle
and that was what I referred to as living in Tokunbo’s hell for six months.

I did not say he beat me…saying
anything of such would be a big lie.

I am not saying this because anyone
asked me to, I am only trying to correct a wrong impression that has been blown
out of proportion. Dino has never laid a finger on me. keeping quiet on this
means consent to the falsehood being spread and I am speaking up now to correct
the wrong impression my chat with Tokunbo might have caused.

Why leave?
‘’I left for reasons best known to
Dino and I which had nothing to do with any form of Violence towards me. I just
needed some space and quiet to think but regardless of my actions and his
imperfections, i still hold him in high regard and still love him very much. Dino
is a good man but like everyone else he is not perfect and he is still my
husband”.

Any chance of reconciliation?
‘’I said a lot of things concerning
Dino to Tokunbo out of anger which I deeply regret but never say never. Life is
always full of surprises”.
