Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has revealed how she got terribly depressed after she was dragged online after she went public with her husband, Femi Atere.
Speaking in an interview with Nancy Isime, Veekee said a scandalous claim that she allegedly “snatched” her husband, Femi Atere, from a friend triggered a period of intense emotional turmoil.
She recalled locking herself in her room for two days, crying and praying as she grappled with the weight of the accusations.
Veekee described the episode as her first real encounter with depression, a condition she previously did not fully understand, but said her faith and resilience helped her overcome the difficult phase.
She said, “There was one that really shook me, and that was the period when we had to ask God to help us come out of it. Immediately, we came out of it; that was the end.

“It was a story about how I stole him from a friend, and we were sleeping with each other, which was all lies. And it almost put me into depression. That was the first time I got to know what people who say they feel depressed felt.
“I remember entering my room and not coming out for two days. I was crying and praying. The way God brought me out felt like a miracle, and I kept hearing more stories, which I laugh”.
In February, Veekee James and her husband, Femi Atere, marked their first Tradversary.
