Nollywood actress and producer, Rosaline Meurer has revealed how her controversial involvement in Tonto Dikeh's marriage crisis allegations made her smile to the bank instead of putting moral burden on her personality. She disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Punch. On her involvement in the marriage situation she said


"The stones that were thrown at me with intentions to bring me down last year when I was used to cover up a marriage crisis turned around to be in my favour with God on my side. I got more jobs and more money. At first, I was bothered; then I realised that so many other innocent people were used and lied on as well in the same situation.


"Out of respect for the head of the family and because I and my family have come a long way with him even before I relocated to Nigeria, I decided to let go. I don’t have any relationship with Tonto Dikeh; I only know her to be Mr. Churchill’s ex-wife."


She listed her role models to involve Tonto Dikeh's ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill whom she was accused of maintaining an amorous relationship with, leading to the crash of his marriage to Tonto.


"My major influencer is Mr. Olakunle Churchill, the Chairman of Big Church Group. He has been instrumental to how far I have come in my career. My mother is also my role model because I celebrate her personality and I admire her strength and courage as a woman. Contrary to what was reported, I was never a personal assistant to anyone or organisation. I was only unveiled as an ambassador of Big Church Foundation’s Mother and Child Project."


Speaking on how she enter the movie industry, she added


"I was in The Gambia when some Nollywood actors came to shoot a movie, and one of the producers came to my mum’s restaurant to eat. When he saw me, he said he liked my looks and invited me to be part of the movie shoot. I was not interested initially but after a few people convinced me, I decided to give it a try. That’s how I got on set and met Desmond Elliot. He advised me to try acting in Nigeria. When he got back to Nigeria, he called me and said Emem Isong had a role for me in her movie. I travelled to Lagos and I starred in my first Nollywood movie titled, Spell Bound, alongside Desmond Elliot, Ini Edo, Uche Jumbo, Joseph Benjamin and other big actors."
