He would call her ugly and other offensive names because she had stretch marks on her tummy, stretch marks she got because of birthing their own children.

After the taunting became constant, she had to walk away to protect her sanity and peaceful. Iyabo said that she felt worthless because of her divorce and had to resort to clubbing and drinking to clear her mind.

She had to withdraw from people and keep to herself because she was tired of everything. However, she consoled herself and moved on.

Her children were her pillar and support and they made her to strive hard. That she was able to act as a gangster or Wonder woman was because of the storm she weathered in her marriage which made her extra tough.
