Junior Pope Told Me About His Marital Woes, Actress Esther Nwachukwu Says
Esther Nwachukwu, a Nigerian actress, recently stated that Junior Odonwodo, also known as Junior Pope, confided in her about his marital problems before his passing on 10th of April, 2024.
Following Junior Pope’s death, Esther criticized his wife for attending an event, suggesting she should have observed a longer mourning period of six months to a year.
Social media personality VeryDarkMan also alleged shortly after Junior Pope’s death that he had expressed intentions to disclose personal issues publicly.
She said, “When Junior Pope was alive, the wife never gave him peace. She disturbed him a lot. I actually dated Junior Pope, and I still have his name tattooed on my body.
“While we were together (dating), he told me how his wife used to disturb him. But, one thing about him is that he likes to trend.
“He would be going through a lot, but would still come on social media to post (pictures and videos of) his family. From December 2023, he stopped posting (pictures of) his wife like before.
“That was when they started having issues. Sometimes, he wouldn’t sleep in his house, but would rather stay in hotels.
“I am sure some people who were close to him knew about it. But, because he had painted himself as a good husband online, he did not know how to tell people about his issues. That was why he died in silence.”
