Since she put out the press release which explained that she was not married to Football Legend John Fashanu,her social media handles,inbox and private life has been bombarded with ''why did you do it'' ..
In this post Rachel explains why she put out a press release denying that she was remarried to John Fashanu..
"It's sad that many are insinuating that i decided to clear the air on our relationship due to the fact that John is going through a crisis. For the records, John is not going through any crisis. The allegations on the land are pure lies so why should i deny him on that basis. John and i speak atleast 5 times everyday till now. We are very close. We still do and have lots of projects brewing.
We both agreed to clear the air at this point because my family members were worried that i got married without informing anyone. It's all around the internet that i am his wife. Especially now with the trending news, my family who are strict in such matters have been asking. It doesn't mean that in the future, John and i cannot get married if we decide and if it's God's Will but for now, this is how our relationship is. We are happy and the publication is our publication not mine alone to set the records straight. To respond to the Abuja blogger who spoke without carrying out the required research as a blogger, this was John's publication before mine:

Get your facts right
John and i speak the same voice so if we are saying the same thing, why do people insist it's otherwise?
John and i are happy. I am very comfortable with identifying with him. Our press release was not meant to connote otherwise"
