Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has addressed the recent controversies in her life by undergoing a drug test, a decision she shared in an emotional post on her Instagram page on Wednesday.
The actress revealed that this step came after months of intense personal struggles and public scrutiny, describing this period as one that nearly overwhelmed her.
She stated, “The past few months of my life have been nothing short of heavy. It has been one of those seasons that tries to sit on your chest and ask, ‘So, what are we doing next?’ This has been a major turning point, one that shook me to my core. Everything I had ever known felt like it was drowning right in front of me.”
Daniels explained that despite the emotional toll, she was able to survive the storm due to the love and support from her family, friends, and members of the public.
“But here’s the plot twist… I didn’t drown with it. Why? Because I was carried by overwhelming love, support, patience, and understanding from my family and friends, as well as from the general public. For that, I am forever grateful.”
After much reflection and some very long conversations with herself, she decided to take the drug test because she owes it to those who stood by her, those who love her, and those who look up to her.
“Integrity matters. Accountability matters. Peace of mind, especially, matters.”
According to her, the decision to undergo the test was influenced by persistent rumors labeling her as a drug addict—claims she described as baseless and hurtful.
Daniels emphasized that the test was not only about clearing her name but also about accountability and peace of mind, particularly for those who look up to her.
