Veteran socialite and reality TV star Faith Makau, popularly known as Amber Ray, has yet again talked about her previous marriages.
In a series of her Instastories, Amber confirmed that she was married twice as a second wife, adding that in both marriages, she was not aware that her husbands were married.
Amber went on to say that she was deceived and left to carry the blame for being a homewrecker; however, the mother of two says she took it as a learning lesson.
“Let me remind you of this: I’ve shared my truth openly. Yes, I was married twice as a second wife, but the truth is, I didn’t know they were married. I was lied to, used, and left to carry all the blame, blame I took as a lesson. I even shared my story on YouTube because I refuse to hide from my past,” Amber shared.
In addition, Amber noted that even though she was blamed for breaking up the marriages, she was not the first or last side chick to her ex-husbands, adding that she already acknowledged and paid for her past mistakes.
“And let’s be honest, I wasn’t their first or last ‘side chick.’ But I’ve already paid for my mistakes, owned my truth, and moved forward to live my best life unapologetically,” she added.
Insults
Amber’s candid posts come after being labelled a hypocrite for showing support to popular Nigerian influencer and actress Annie Idibia following her divorce from Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia,alias 2Baba.
The reality star lamented how critics have flooded her direct message with insults because she sympathised with Annie.
“It is crazy how some people are flooding my DMs with insults just because I aired my opinion about Annie’s story. I’ve been called a hypocrite and accused of making other women cry because I was once a second wife,” she stated.
She added that it is sad how men’s infidelity is justified while women are attacked and shamed even when they have been deceived.
“It’s sad how society loves to justify men’s actions when they cheat but is quick to attack women, even when they’ve been deceived. Let me be clear: no one can make me feel bad about my past anymore. I’ve healed, I’ve grown, and I’m not here to carry shame that isn’t mine.
“If you’re in my DMs with negativity, save yourself the energy; it won’t break me. To everyone else. Let’s focus on holding the right people accountable and supporting each other to grow and heal,” she said.
Amber Ray supporting Annie
On Monday, January 27, 2025, Amber sympathised with Annie, expressing how deeply she could relate to the pain she was enduring and the emotional weight of their breakup.
Amber Ray acknowledged that a marriage that had stood the test of for so many years takes a heavy emotional toll on anyone, particularly the person who is left behind after being dumped.
She addressed Annie directly, expressing her hope that she would come across her heartfelt message and know that she had her full support during this difficult time.
“My heart breaks for Annie. After 25 years of marriage, I can’t even begin to imagine what she’s going through (sic). The pain, the betrayal, the overwhelming emotions—and to add insult to injury, the relentless attacks on social media. It’s a lot for one person to endure. Annie, if you ever see this, please know I’m sending you so much love, strength, and the warmest hugs. You don’t deserve this.” Amber wrote.
