Elsie Okpocha, the estranged wife of comedian Basketmouth, has shared a message with women about dealing with cheating spouses.
In her social media post, Elsie emphasized that when a man cheats, it is not the woman’s fault. She urged women not to blame themselves, even if they are beautiful, sexy, intelligent, and the best cook, stating that cheating is a decision made by the individual.
While Elsie didn’t explicitly mention the cause of her own marriage dissolution, some commenters speculated about the connection between her advice and her past relationship. Some users questioned if infidelity played a role in the end of her marriage, while others urged her to heal and forgive.
In 2022, Basketmouth announced the end of his marriage with Elsie on Instagram, pledging to co-parent peacefully. The couple, who had previously spoken against divorce, faced public scrutiny as fans dug up old videos where they expressed commitment to their marriage.
Elsie, post-divorce, has been vocal about relationship issues, addressing marriage shamers and advocating against shaming unmarried women.
