Elsie Okpocha, the former spouse of Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, has spoken out against those who meddle in her personal affairs.

Basketmouth, who was married to Elsie for 12 years, broke the news of their separation in an Instagram post in December 2022.

In a video posted on her Instagram page on Friday, May 17, 2024, she mentioned that some people have been leaving negative comments under posts, insinuating that she isn’t happy and should go back to her husband’s house.

She further said that people don’t want to see a woman happy after a failed marriage and would rather they grieve and languish in sadness.

Speaking further, she said the decision to end a marriage is not sudden and couples may have tried to make it work before finally calling it quits.

“Guys, I don’t know why a woman would post a photo and a video of her living her life and you go under the comment section and you are saying things like ”go back to your husband’s life, I know you are not happy, I know you are just pretending”. How do you know that?” she queried.

“Why would you think that a woman would wake up and decide to leave her marriage just like that? It doesn’t work that way. Trust me, both parties would have tried to work it out. And the point where it’s not working out, they go their separate ways. Plus it’s not even your business to start with

“I feel like you will be happier when you see a woman unhappy. Don’t come under people’s posts to say nonsense about what you know nothing about. Please”
