Alexes Peres Relinquishes Custody of Children to Singer Harrysong
In a deeply emotional and public revelation, Alexes Peres, the ex-wife of renowned Nigerian singer Harrysong, has announced her decision to give up custody of their two young children. The children, aged 4 and 3 years old, will now be under the primary care of their father, according to a video statement shared by Peres on social media this morning.
Allegations of Harassment and Frustration
Peres detailed a series of distressing experiences that led to this painful choice. She accused Harrysong of making her life unbearable since she left their marriage two years ago, refusing to return to their matrimonial home. "This man has not allowed me to rest," she stated emphatically in the video. "He frustrates my efforts. He comes to my house unannounced. He harasses me everywhere."
She expressed exhaustion from the ongoing conflict, noting that Harrysong is rarely present at home, leaving the children in the care of househelp and a houseboy. "He just wants to feel that he is in charge," Peres alleged, suggesting his actions are more about control than genuine parental involvement.
Legal Battles and Emotional Toll
The situation escalated recently when Harrysong filed a petition against Peres, which she claims contains false allegations. She vowed to file a counter-petition in due time, but emphasized that the emotional strain has become too much to bear. "He has been doing a lot of things emotionally because of these kids," she explained. "I am going to now give him custody, for now."
Peres made it clear that this decision is not permanent. "That doesn't mean I am not going to come back for my children," she asserted. "It is just that I have had enough. When the time is right, I am going to fight for my children."
Geographic Tensions and Personal Resolve
Currently residing in Asaba, Peres revealed that Harrysong has threatened to make her life miserable in the city. She framed her decision as an act of self-preservation rather than weakness. "I am not doing this because I am weak. I am doing this because I need to live," she declared.
Her parting words were a direct appeal to Harrysong: "I need to go find my life since you said you can take care of them very well. Please do." She also issued a stern warning regarding the children's safety, noting his frequent absence. "Nothing should happen to my children because you and I know you are barely around."
Appeal to the Public
In closing, Peres called on Nigerians to bear witness to her ordeal, indicating her intention to publicly counter Harrysong's claims when the moment is appropriate. The video has sparked significant discussion on social media, highlighting the intense personal and legal struggles that can accompany high-profile divorces in Nigeria's entertainment industry.
