Renowned fashion icon Veekee James has revealed the emotional distress she endured due to damaging online gossip, admitting it pushed her to the brink of a depressive episode.
During a candid conversation with Nancy Isime, Veekee shared how a viral falsehood—claiming she “stole” her husband Femi Atere from a close friend—left her shattered and emotionally drained.
She confessed to isolating herself for 48 hours, overwhelmed by tears and prayer, as she struggled to cope with the fabricated scandal.
The designer revealed this marked her first real confrontation with depression, a state she once struggled to comprehend, but her unwavering faith and inner strength ultimately guided her through the storm.
In her words, “That particular rumor hit me differently—I needed divine intervention to pull through. Once we overcame it, the chapter closed for good.”
“The narrative claimed I was involved in betrayal and deceit, all of which were baseless. It nearly broke me mentally. For the first time, I truly understood the pain of those battling depression.”
“I locked myself away, weeping and pleading for strength. God’s deliverance felt supernatural, and now, hearing those absurd stories just makes me laugh.”
