Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has publicly addressed the storm of troubling rumours that have swirled around her marriage to comedian Fisayo 'MC Fish' Michael for nearly a week. The celebrity couple, who wed in a colourful ceremony in February 2020, found themselves at the centre of unverified online reports alleging their union was in severe crisis.
Addressing the Allegations Head-On
For days, social media platforms were flooded with distressing claims about the state of the marriage. The allegations were wide-ranging and serious, including substance abuse, infidelity, and domestic violence reportedly involving MC Fish. Perhaps the most heartbreaking assertions suggested that Anita Joseph had endured significant personal trauma, including suffering two pregnancy losses—a miscarriage and a stillbirth—during a difficult period in the relationship.
After maintaining a stoic silence, the actress chose Tuesday, December 2, 2025, to finally communicate with her concerned fans and followers. She took to her official Instagram page to post a heartfelt message.
Her post read: "And the Lord did not Forsake me. I want to thank everyone who have shown me love one way or the other. Thank you, God will not leave you. Mother Hen is doing well. I will tell my story when I deem fit. Shallom!"
This statement served as both an assurance of her well-being and a firm boundary, indicating that while she is okay, the full details of her personal experience will only be shared on her own terms and timeline.
Public Reaction and a History of Headlines
Notably, MC Fish has remained silent on all the allegations, making no public comment or post to counter the rumours. This is not the first time the couple's relationship has captured public attention. Back in 2021, MC Fish sparked conversations when he openly revealed that he washed his wife's underwear as an act of love.
Their marriage has often been in the public eye, with both partners known for sharing affectionate videos, playful dance clips, and loving banter on social media, making the recent negative rumours particularly jarring for their fanbase.
The online community quickly rallied around Anita following her post. Fan @officialcyndyamaefule commented, "You have been one of the strongest women I have ever known. You are beautiful, bold, and blessed." Another supporter, @mommaandre, affirmed her stance, writing, "You owe no one explanation sis, life happened and we're glad you're still here hale and hearty."
Other reactions echoed this sentiment of support and respect for her privacy. User @chigirlmall_usa shared, "Ijelem you don’t need to tell us anything! Life happens and that’s on period!" while @foodconnectplug stated, "You owe nobody or anyone any explanation. People should believe whatever they want to believe."
A Glimpse into Faith and Moving Forward
This episode follows another recent event that put Anita Joseph in the spotlight. Legit.ng had previously reported on a clip that showed the actress passionately preaching in a church, dressed in a long gown and matching scarf, which had also generated significant reactions online.
For now, Anita Joseph has drawn a line under the speculation with her brief but powerful message. She has confirmed her safety and well-being while reserving the right to narrate her own story in her own time. The public and her fans await any future developments, continuing to watch one of Nollywood's most discussed marriages.
