It was one of the biggest scandals that rocked the nation. The actor got entangled in a weighty rape allegation. His 15- year old stepdaughter, Vannessa who was living with him alleged that he rap£d her, got her pregnant, and even made her have abortion two different times. Ernest however, claimed the allegations were false.

After their marriage crashed, both parties moved on amicably until the enormous rape accusations. In a separate interview, Joanne and Ernest told their sides of the story

Joanne' s side of the story: " It' s true. A friend of mine (Titilayo Oyekola) called me that my ex- husband had abused my daughter and even gotten her pregnant. I didn' t believe it, moreso a child he raised, a child who knew no other man as her father but him. What happened was that at that point, Ernest had called me that my daughter ran away from home. My response was that ' you are in Nigeria, she is your daughter. You don' t expect me to leave England to look for her.

This is a child you raised yourself, why should she have the effrontery to abscond. I didn' t know that something else was happening called her and she picked the call. I told her I' m your mother, whatever happened, I will stand by you, but I just want you to tell me the truth. She was crying. Her words were ' I' m not fit to live. I just don' t want to live. I want to commit suicide.

I said ' you cannot do that to me. There is nothing we cannot handle together. I calmed her down and she told me exactly what happened. She said she made him coffee that morning, he gave her some to drink, after drinking halfway, she said she discovered she was feeling a bit dizzy and dozed off. And Ernest forced his way into her. "
