Elsie Okpocha, the estranged wife of Nigerian veteran comedian, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, had a word for netizens who offer unsolicited advice to her to return to her marriage.
In a lengthy video for her Instagram talk series titled ‘Elsie’s Thoughts’ posted on her Instagram page, the realtor reminded the public that they had no idea what caused the separation in the first place.
“I don’t know why a woman would post a picture or a video of her living her life and you’ll go under the comment section and you’re seeing things like ‘go back to your husband’s house, I know you’re not happy’. How do you know that?”, Elsie questioned.
“Why would you think a woman would wake up and decide to leave her marriage just like that? No, it doesn’t work that way! Trust me, both parties would have tried to work it out, and at the point where it’s not working out, they go their separate ways. That’s how it works”, she continued.
Elsie went ahead to say “It’s nobody’s business” and that instead of focusing on the woman, “why not go to the man involved and tell him to go back to his wife’s house?”.
She says she has been blocking such ‘entitled’ people on social media and that she would continue to block more people.
Recall that in December 2022, Basketmouth shocked the entire world when he announced on his official Instagram page that he and Elsie, who got married in 2010, were getting a divorce after 12 years of being married.
