Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has broken down in tears in a raw, emotional video shared on her Instagram story, expressing despair over a protracted family crisis that has left her feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
In the clip, posted in the early hours of Friday, the actress fought back tears as she admitted: “I give up.”
She told viewers she was struggling mentally and emotionally, saying, “I tried. I feel like I’m going crazy, I’m losing my mind, and it’s not making any sense. I’m really crying in front of everybody.”

The brief but heartrending message laid bare the toll recent events have taken on her wellbeing.
The emotional outburst comes amid a family drama that has dominated headlines and social media in recent days.
Regina had earlier celebrated a moment of reunion between her parents, describing their reconciliation as driven solely by concern for her wellbeing.
“Two concluded sworn enemies reuniting with no negative ulterior motive other than their daughter’s happiness,” she wrote when announcing the development on Thursday.
Despite that hopeful sign, the actress said the family remains under strain as they work to secure the release of her younger brother, Sammy, who she said has been held in detention for several days.
“Sammy’s detainment is taking way too long, but we will get him out even if I have to march there myself and create a storm! Since they want me!” she vowed in a separate post.
Regina’s emotional disclosure underscores the human cost behind a very public saga. The family’s troubles, which have included allegations, arrests, and intense scrutiny on social media, have repeatedly played out online, inviting both sympathy and criticism.
In recent weeks, the actress has used her social channels to appeal for support and to push back against what she describes as unfair public judgement. Yet even with those defenses, the strain appears to be mounting.
Regina’s frank admission, “I’m really crying in front of everybody”, is notable for its candour. In an era when many celebrities manage their image carefully, such an unguarded moment highlights the real emotional wear of sustained controversy.
As the Daniels’ family continues efforts to resolve Sammy’s detention, the actress’s plea has refocused attention on the emotional fallout from the dispute.
Whether through legal channels, family negotiation, or a public relations strategy, the next steps will determine how quickly the pressure on Regina eases.
For now, the video stands as a stark, vulnerable appeal, a reminder that behind headlines and hashtags are people grappling with pain, exhaustion, and the limits of endurance.
