In a bold move to silence swirling controversies, Nollywood star Regina Daniels shared the results of her recent drug test via an emotional Instagram post on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
The actress opened up about enduring months of grueling personal battles and relentless public scrutiny, a storm that nearly broke her.
By going public with the clean test, Daniels aims to reclaim her narrative and put the rumors to rest once and for all.
She wrote, “The past few months of my life have been nothing short of heavy, one of those seasons that tries to sit on your chest and ask, “So, what are we doing next?” It has been a major turning point, one that shook me to my core. Everything I had ever known was drowning right in front of me.
She further explained that despite the emotional toll, she survived the storm because of the love and support she received from family, friends and members of the public.
She said: “But here’s the plot twist…I didn’t drown with it. Why? Because I was carried by overwhelming love, support, patience, and understanding from my family, my friends, members of the general public. And for that, I am forever grateful.
“After much reflection (and a few very long conversations with myself), I decided to take this test because I owe it to the people who stood by me, the people who love me, and the people who look up to me. Integrity matters. Accountability matters. Peace of mind especially matters.”
She explained that relentless rumors branding her a drug addict - rumors she called groundless and deeply painful - pushed her to take the test.
Daniels emphasized it wasn’t merely about vindicating herself, but about demonstrating accountability and securing peace of mind, particularly for her admirers.
“One thing that echoed loudly across the media was, “Regina is a drug addict.” And honestly? I paused, then I checked again. I looked at myself in the mirror repeatedly, searching for this so-called addict. I searched so hard it almost felt like I was going psychic…because surely, I must be missing something. That’s when it hit me! People often project their fears, insecurities, and negativity onto you. But projection is not reality, and noise is not truth.
“Here’s the choice we all have to make: Do you allow yourself to be defined by other people’s opinions, or do you create your own narrative? As for me, I choose the latter every single time. The same mouth that was used to spoil my name is the same mouth that will build it back up.”
She described the phase as one of self-discovery and growth, adding that she remains grateful to God for strength and resilience.
“This chapter of my life is now about self discovery, self growth, and becoming even more intentional about who I am and where I’m going. I thank God endlessly for His grace, His strength, and His excellence in my life..because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that He has carried me through it all. I’m still standing, still growing and just getting started. And yes… we move. happy new year everyone.”
The announcement arrives under heavy public scrutiny of her marriage to billionaire businessman and lawmaker Senator Ned Nwoko, now reportedly shattered by bitter estrangement.
In recent months, the couple has unleashed a barrage of grave accusations. Daniels charged Nwoko with domestic abuse and trying to coerce her into rehab, even alleging that her family members were detained to force her compliance.
Nwoko vehemently denied the abuse claims, countering that Daniels struggles with substance abuse. He said he organized therapy after observing what he called “concerning behavior tied to illegal substances.”
His team has also shared statements backing medical records and toxicology reports, insisting they prove Daniels tested positive for drugs and alcohol at dangerous levels.
