The late Christian Atsu’s widow, Marie Claire-Rupio, has defended herself in the wake of backlash over a video in which she can be seen dancing.
The German dancer and author gained notoriety after posting a video of herself dancing to Davido’s smash song “Unavailable.”
However, some of her fans weren’t impressed with the video and criticized her for dancing while her spouse was just gone.
In response to this, Claire-Rupio said on Instagram that she dances to cope with her pain, not because she’s joyful.
“Yes, I did publish a dancing video. I’m just writing to say a few things. I have to find a method to deal with my loss, not because I am happy,” the widow stated.
“I’m not alone myself; I have three kids to look after on my own. I must be strong for them, therefore I can’t let myself fall apart. Dancing was always my love, and in Europe, you deal with mental health in many different ways.
So, pardon me, but just consider what you’re writing or posting before you do it online. I’m grateful.
