    She told the court how she found used condoms in Friday’s pocket repeatedly, adding that he excuses himself to answer suspicious phone calls most times at home.

    Ann insisted that the petitioner started denying her and their two children aged 6 and 4 years old basic necessities of life from the year 2020.

    Alexer Peres, the estranged wife of Nigerian singer Harrysong, has responded to his recent allegations declaring that “you de watch Nollywood movies when another man give mi belle’.

     

    In an Instagram live session, Harrysong accused Alexer of getting pregnant by another man while they were still married.

    The singer claimed that a year had passed without intimacy between them when she informed him of the pregnancy.

    He said, “My wife came to inform me that she was pregnant when I stopped sleeping with her for almost a year. She was pregnant for another man in a marriage.

    “The only thing I said was that this setting will not work; you need to go back to your people. I will need to sit down and get to know you. I got married to her because people said she was a good girl. Then she started acting like a loyal, humble Christian.”

    Harrysong also criticized Alexer’s family, alleging infidelity within their household.

    He claimed, “Her mother just got married to a sixth or seventh husband, and the same guy is still calling to inform me that the woman is not staying as she has another boyfriend in town. That’s the kind of family I married into.”

    Reacting in her own Instagram live session, Alexer Peres denied Harrysong’s allegations and urged him to move on.

    She said, “You dey watch film, abi na Nollywood? I don’t understand how you would say that I carried another man’s child when I’m still married to you. I have never cheated on you since we married. I never tried it.”

     

    “I’m not your problem. You said I am not good enough. I’m moving on; you too, move on. The only thing I tell you is to take care of your kids. And now, you’re dragging me, you’re dragging my parents into this. When your own is bad.”

    Alexer accused Harrysong of being the one who cheated and revealed names and details of his alleged affairs.

    She also accused him of domestic violence and claimed to have endured infections due to his infidelity but forgave him repeatedly because she wanted to “build a marriage.

    “But the person I want to build with doesn’t have sense. For four years, you showed me shege. You beat me, but I still stayed.

     

    “Because I want to move on, you’re dragging me. You seized my passport and my children’s passport because you don’t want us to travel,” she added.

     

    Alexer recounted several incidents of Harrysong’s infidelity, including one where she found him with a mistress in their hotel room shortly after they married.

    She claimed that the four years of their marriage were the most unbearable of her life and that Harrysong seized her phone and deleted evidence of his wrongdoing.

    “For 4 years, you showed me Shege… Only you get Asaba ashewo 1, Asaba 2, Asaba ashewo 3. Lagos ashewo 1 Lagos ashewo 2, Lagos ashewo 3… You seized me and my children’s passport, seized my phone and deleted everything; all the evidence I have,” she said in part.
