Toyin also admitted that drug addiction had a devastating effect on her life and negatively influenced her actions so much that she lost touch with the things that worked for her. “These things were fuelling my negative energy. Even when I did something bad, it always ended up yielding negative results.”
She said, “At a point, I realised that I didn’t love myself enough and I wanted the people around me to love me. Also, I found that all the while I chose to please other people before pleasing myself. And I was focusing on the things that did not matter. I never planned to have a broken home.”

Speaking further, the actress confessed that after her marriage to Johnson broke up, she found herself slipping into depression.
“I was emotionally carried away and could not wait to recover completely from the breakup before jumping into another relationship. I wanted to be healed and I thought that going into another relationship would help,” she said but refused to blame her ex-man or anybody else for the breakup.
“It takes two to tango. My ex-husband has his faults and I have mine. I think we both brought our negative sides into the marriage and that was why it just didn’t work,” she stated.
