Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has revealed that she recently underwent drug tests months after she was accused of being an addict following her messy separation with her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko.
In a post shared on her Instagram page, Daniels described the period as deeply overwhelming, noting that everything she once knew seemed to be falling apart.
She, however, said she remained strong through the love, support and understanding she received from her family, friends and members of the public.
The actress explained that her decision to take the drug test was driven by a sense of responsibility to those who stood by her and continue to look up to her.
“Taking this test isn’t just about clearing my name, it’s about giving a clear and confident voice to those who believe in me. I was never on any hard dr**gs or any nons£nse fabricated online. I will definitely sue at the appropriate time. The only Dr**g I was associated with was ecstacy popularly known as Molly. Believe it or not, there was a reason for that, which I will explain,” she said.
She emphasized that accountability, integrity and peace of mind were important values she now prioritizes.
Daniels added that this phase of her life represents a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, saying she has become more intentional about her choices and the direction of her life going forward.
She said:
“The past few months of my life have been nothing short of heavy. One of those seasons that tries to sit on your chest and ask, “So, what are we doing next?”
It has been a major turning point, one that shook me to my core. Everything I had ever known was drowning right in front of me. But here’s the plot twist.
I didn’t drown with it. Why? Because I was carried by the overwhelming love, support, patience, and understanding of my family, friends, and members of the general public. And for that, I am forever grateful.
After much reflection (and a few very long conversations with myself), I decided to take this test because I owe it to the people who stood by me, the people who love me, and the people who look up to me. Integrity matters. Accountability matters. Peace of mind especially matters.
One thing that echoed loudly across the media was, “Regina is a drug addīct.” And honestly? I paused, then I checked again.
I looked at myself in the mirror repeatedly, searching for this so-called addīct.
I searched so hard it almost felt like I was going psychic.
Because surely, I must be missing something. That’s when it hit me! People often project their fears, insecurities, and negative thoughts onto others. But projection is not reality, and noise is not truth.
Here’s the choice we all have to make: Do you allow yourself to be defined by other people’s opinions, or do you create your own narrative? As for me, I choose the latter every single time. The same mouth that was used to spoil my name is the same mouth that will build it back up.
This chapter of my life is now about self-discovery, self-growth, and becoming even more intentional about who I am and where I’m going.
I thank God endlessly for His grace, His strength, and His excellence in my life, because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that He has carried me through it all. I’m still standing, still growing, and just getting started
And yes.
We move.
Happy new year everyone?”
