The award-winning actress had a chat with Chude Jideonwo on the show, #WithChude, which aired recently on TVC Entertainment.

“I gave everything I had out and moved into a hotel. If anyone wanted to come and visit me, I would tell them to come, and we would be in the same room,” the actress said.

“I would later go to another room and stayed there by myself. There was a time I told someone that I could actually jump the Third Mainland Bridge, it was that bad.

“I actually thought to myself that ‘if you die now Toyin, you would become more popular than you are now,’ she added.

The host, Chude Jideonwo then asked her where her family was throughout all of her travails. She responded saying evaded them after falling far from the upbringing they subjected her to.

“I just didn’t want to see them. I didn’t want to get attached to them,” Toyin continued.

“I am from a Christian home and I used to smoke cigarettes and they didn’t approve, and I also didn’t want to get close to them because I thought I would die soon and so they won’t miss me.”

“I am a dove. My fear is gone now. Long gone. I talk about it to people now. I have the face, I have the story that God wants to use to touch many lives,” she added.

Furthermore, she went on to say that she prefers to suffer a cut on her flesh than a psychological problem.
