Bimpe reacted after a one-minute clip showing her conversation with Awobona attracted comments from social media users, with some reading different meanings into the interaction.
The actress dismissed the concerns, describing her conversation with Awobona as a normal interaction between friends.
According to her, the reaction of some social media users says more about the kind of relationships they are accustomed to than about her marriage.

“The fact that so many of you found that interaction strange says more about the relationships you’re used to than it does about mine,” she wrote.
Bimpe further stressed that not every marriage is toxic, noting that some relationships are built on trust, friendship, respect and confidence rather than fear, insecurity and constant monitoring.
She also defended her husband, describing him as a secure man who does not feel threatened by her interaction with Awobona, whom she identified as a family friend.

“My husband is a secure man. A brief conversation with a family friend does not threaten our marriage or require anyone’s concern,” she said.
The actress added that healthy marriages still exist, while acknowledging that some people might find it difficult to relate to such relationships.
