Joan Quaye, the former wife of businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, has alleged that she provided 90 percent of the seed capital for Quick Credit, the financial services business associated with her ex-husband.

She has also accused the businessman of physically abusing her during their marriage, making the claims in excerpts from an interview that is yet to be aired.

In the interview excerpts, Joan reportedly spoke about her financial contribution to the establishment of Quick Credit and some of the experiences she had during her relationship with the businessman.

“90% of the seed capital for Quick Credit was my money,” she claimed.

Her statement suggests that she played a significant financial role in the early stages of the business, although the excerpts do not provide details of the amount involved, when the money was invested or the circumstances surrounding the alleged contribution.

Beyond the business-related claims, Joan also made allegations of physical abuse, recounting what she said happened during their marriage.

“My ex-husband used to beat me with his belt hook,” she alleged.

The claims introduce two major issues surrounding the former couple’s relationship: Joan’s alleged financial contribution to the establishment of Quick Credit and her account of the treatment she says she experienced during the marriage.

However, the full interview has not yet been released, making it difficult to establish the wider context of her statements or obtain further details about the allegations.

It is also unclear from the excerpts whether Joan has provided supporting evidence for her claims about the business's initial funding or the alleged physical abuse.

Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s response to the allegations was not included in the excerpts.

The full interview is expected to provide further details about Joan’s account of the marriage, her claimed involvement in Quick Credit’s establishment and the circumstances surrounding the allegations.

The claims remain allegations and have not been independently verified.
