Actress Chacha Eke has opened up about her struggles with mental health, saying that she has wrecked and damaged household property a lot of times.

The actress said this in an Instagram post on Thursday while reacting to the viral video of a boy who destroyed his mother’s property.

The initial reports claimed the boy was 12 and he destroyed property in his mother’s house because his phone was seized.

The lad’s mother who later spoke to clear the air, said he has been battling mental health.

Weighing in on the matter, Chacha said she sees herself in the boy because she did the same thing during her struggles with mental health.

“I have watched the viral video of the 12 year old boy who literally wrecked his mum’s house because she siezed his phone. Here I am making this video, hoping that somehow this video will get to the mother of the boy. Contrary to the popular opinion in the comment section of the video, all I have to tell you is that your son is sick. He is mentally unstable. He has mental imbalance. I know this because I recognize myself in your son through his actions. I have wrecked household properties, equipments, damaged all sorts, different times; material and immaterial,” she said.

In October 2020 Chacha announced that her marriage to the movie director Austin Faani has ended, disclosing that he assaulted her.

She, however, retracted her statement, stating that the drama that surrounded her marriage at the time was due to the bipolar disorder she was suffering from.
