In the break-up tale, controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh was allegedly fingered to be the major cause of the strain in relationship between Doris and Daniel. Tonto has since dissociated herself from the rumour.
Coming from the heat the rumour has generated since the story broke, Daniel Da Bishop, as Daniel is also called, has finally opened up on his alleged marriage problem with Doris.
In an un-edited statement retrieved by Nigeriafilms.com, Daniel stated, "I want to use this medium to express my gratitude to people who have been very supportive in the course of my career.
Also, a big thank you to people who have encouraged me through thick and thin and most especially the loss of my dad.
Without you guys who go out there to see the films I make, there would be no point even making the films in the first place. God bless you.
I know that a lot has been going on in the media as regards my private life and I have seen countless accounts of events that I know absolutely nothing about. (Including prophecies that I now work with the minister of Culture and Tourism).
I want to make it clear that I have not granted any interview or discussed anything with anyone as regards issues happening to me privately. I know the challenges that come with my profession, fully understanding the fact that whatever we do is constantly under the scrutiny of the public.
However, I am also human and I am entitled to my privacy. I made it clear that people hacked into my emails, Facebook and twitter accounts to communicate with certain individuals. I have set the record straight with the parties involved.
I understand the level of love and support I have received from numerous fans and friends. At this time I just want to focus on the things that are most important to me.
Feel free to communicate with me as regards work and friendship but if it goes beyond that into the issues that i consider are private...I will not entertain it.
We know how the press works and most of them have made us understand and see their highest levels of incompetency by writing stories that link me with a colleague that I respect but do not even talk with.
Do we continue to believe the words of people who have constantly lied to us just to sell papers and make their blogs popular or do we just go about our businesses and let God sort his children out?
Once again thank you all for respecting my privacy. The best you can do is to remember me in your prayers. God bless you all and may God's Favour never cease from your household.
