Reggie Zippy levels allegations against ex-wife amid divorce controversy

UK-based Ghanaian musician Reggie Zippy has made fresh allegations against his ex-wife, Edith Ward, amid their ongoing divorce dispute, accusing her of denying him access to their children and making claims about his mental health in court. In a TikTok live session, the musician expressed frustration over the breakdown of their marriage, recounting what he described as the sacrifices he made during their relationship and the events that allegedly led to their separation. According to Reggie, he made significant sacrifices to help build their family, only to feel betrayed by the people his ex-wife now associates with. “I had to sacrifice for us to become who we have become. Today, you praise the people who threw you out. Did your own mother not throw you out of your family home in Italy?” he asked. He maintained that he had accepted the end of the marriage and is now in a new relationship. However, he claimed that his ex-wife became unhappy after he informed her about his new partner. “The marriage is over, and I’m good. Let me at least make my daughter not behave like the way you’ve been behaving ever since you decided to divorce me. You said, ‘Let’s separate,’ and I agreed. I later told her that I was in a new relationship, and she said then it was not going to happen,” he alleged. Reggie also recounted the circumstances surrounding his mother's funeral in Ghana, claiming that he paid for his ex-wife's travel arrangements before she allegedly asked him to leave their home a few months later. “How do you sack a father of your only children who has lost his mother? We came to Ghana for me to organise my mum’s funeral. I bought the plane tickets and flew you in and out. Then, within three months, you kicked me out because I was too depressed,” he said. The musician further accused Edith of granting media interviews in which she allegedly spoke about financial and alcohol abuse during their marriage. “You went granting interviews, talking about financial abuse and alcohol abuse,” he stated. ‘I’m tired’ - Reggie Zippy declares amid tough legal battle He also expressed disappointment over what he described as her efforts to prevent him from maintaining a relationship with their children. Reggie claimed that he recently contacted his ex-wife to ask to speak with their daughter because he did not have the child's phone number. “Five days after my daughter’s birthday, I’m going to court, and this woman was speaking to me earlier on. I called her because I don’t have my daughter’s number, and I told her I wanted to speak to my baby. She said I had been lying about her, and that was why she took me to court,” he recounted. He alleged that Edith had taken him to court the previous year and accused her of making claims about his mental health during proceedings. “This woman took me to court last year. Which mother rejoices with her family members because her child’s father has been stopped from getting access to the kids? She faked tears before the judge and said she was scared for her life because I was struggling with my mental health,” he alleged. Reggie further claimed that his ex-wife told the court she feared he could harm her and himself, referring to a possible murder-suicide. “She told the court that if the judge didn’t do something to stop me, she had heard of something called murder-suicide, so she would like to murder her. My own children’s mother was thinking that I would murder her and kill myself, and she said that in court,” he shared. The musician also disputed his ex-wife's alleged concerns about his social media posts regarding his inability to contact their daughter. “She said to me, ‘How dare you post that you don’t have your daughter’s number?’ Do I have my daughter’s number?'" he questioned. He further alleged that a phone he had given to his second son was destroyed by Edith when the boy was 14 years old. “I gave my own phone to my second son, but she smashed the phone. At that time, my second son was just 14 years old,” he added. FG/EB 'There is cocaine here, cocaine there, and everywhere' – Afenyo-Markin to NDC government Source: www.ghanaweb.com
