Reflecting on societal expectations, she candidly expressed: "People still inquire why I haven't married yet. Why am I single? I simply retort, did I ever question why you're still married? Please don't question why I remain single. It's that straightforward. When I tied the knot, there were objections; when I ended my marriage, objections persisted; and now that I'm single, objections persist. This perpetual cycle exists. The world will always find fault, and that's alright."
In a past press interview, the 52-year-old reflected on the challenging period following her divorce, recounting her descent into alcoholism.
