Queenie Files for Divorce from Estranged Husband Dewey After Years of Struggles

Jamaican entertainer and social media personality Queenie, known for her hit song “Double Tap,” has filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Duwayne ‘Dewey’ Scarlett, marking the end of their tumultuous marriage. Queenie, whose real name is Janese Espeut, announced the decision on social media, revealing the emotional journey that led her to this point. After enduring years of what she described as “heartache and sleepless nights,” she is proud of taking the step to officially dissolve her marriage.

Queenie and Dewey, who tied the knot in 2021 despite their 20-year age difference, had faced numerous public ups and downs during their time together. Despite her deep devotion as a wife, Queenie admitted that the marriage had irretrievably broken down, prompting her to file for divorce on August 20, 2024. In her announcement, she shared that her decision to let Dewey go was an act of love, recognizing that sometimes, setting someone free is the best option.

The singer revealed that Dewey’s move to another country without her signaled his desire to leave the relationship. The strain of the separation, along with the lack of reciprocation for the support she gave, made her realize it was time to move on for her own well-being. Queenie emphasized that the decision was not easy, recounting the anxiety and sleepless nights she endured, but she remains proud of her strength in navigating this chapter.

Though the marriage did not last, Queenie holds no regrets, expressing that she cherished both the highs and lows of their relationship. She acknowledged that while the marriage didn’t work out, it fulfilled her wish to be a wife and helped Dewey improve his life. Despite the dissolution, Queenie wished Dewey well and hoped he would one day recognize the love and care she had shown him.

Now, Queenie is focusing on her music career, undeterred by the challenges in her personal life. She is preparing to release her debut EP, The Queen’s Decree, on December 2, coinciding with her 55th birthday. She promises that fans can expect her to “go harder” in her music, pouring her life experiences and emotions into her new work.

As Queenie moves forward, she remains resolute, knowing that her personal struggles will not define her future success. Fans can expect her to continue sharing her truth through her music, stronger and more determined than ever.
