Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has publicly denied claims that she was once a close friend of actress Tonto Dikeh before marrying businessman Olakunle Churchill.
Meurer addressed the long-standing allegation in a recent Instagram video, dismissing reports that she “snatched” Churchill from Tonto, who was previously married to him.

Social media users had alleged that Meurer was Tonto’s best friend and was involved with Churchill during his marriage. In 2017, Churchill was accused of cheating on Tonto with Meurer, who was said to be close to the family at the time.
In an old video that resurfaced online, Meurer had denied having a sexual relationship with Churchill, describing both him and his then-wife as family.
“I remain under Big Church Foundation and he remains family to me. His wife remains family to me. We’ve hung out together before and I don’t see a big deal there. People should stop saying things they do not know,” she had said at the time.
However, in a new video shared on Wednesday, Meurer appeared to contradict that earlier position. She insisted she was never friends with Tonto and had never met her.
“These bloggers feed off lies… I was never my husband’s ex’s friend, not to talk of best friend. I have never met her. I have never seen her. She doesn’t have my number, I don’t have her number,” she said.
She challenged anyone with evidence to prove otherwise to make it public, adding that she met her husband independently of his past relationship.
New Daily Prime reports that Tonto married Churchill in August 2015 and welcomed their son, King Andre, in February 2016. The couple divorced in July 2017 following allegations of domestic violence and infidelity.
Three years after the divorce, Meurer and Churchill got married in 2021, reigniting controversy and renewed scrutiny of the earlier claims.
The renewed denial has since sparked fresh debate online, with netizens revisiting past statements and timelines surrounding the relationship.
