- Comedian AY Makun’s marriage saga has been confirmed to be true as he acknowledges the marital struggles in a social media post.
- Wife, Mabel Makun opens up on why she left her marriage.
In time past, there have been speculations and rumors about the state of AY Makun and wife’s marriage, with some fans questioning the validity of the allegations and expressing support for the couple. However, an Instagram post made on the official handle of the Comedian confirmed their marriage crash. In the post, comedian AY wrote;
“Many people believe that staying silent simply means that one is incapable of dealing with issues. Projecting a negative narrative against someone who is not struggling to defend himself doesn’t mean he is weak. Some of us are just logical enough to understand the difference between opinions, values, beliefs, and facts.
The personality and ability that I possess simply confirm that i have reached that stage in my life where I can not be entertaining the public with deep personal family issues. They just might be too much to handle concerning the individuals involved. Not even when I have a grown-up daughter who has access to social media. Her mental health needs to be protected from seeing things she can not be proud of online.
Yes! Without compromising my family, i have found myself doing some things that i am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/ marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it’s another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blames in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win. I can tell you for free that no one is completely INNOCENT enough to cast stones.
Presently, i am loving the way that lies about me in all these blogs are traveling faster than the truth. But my painful truth will eventually beat away all the lies.”
