Popular footballer Christian Atsu’s widowed wife, Marie Claire-Rupio has responded to criticisms trailing her dancing video four months following her husband’s demise.
The mother of three had taken to her social media page to share a video of herself dancing and vibing to Davido’s hit track, ‘Unavailable’.
This had however elicited derogatory remarks from netizens who put it down as an unseemly thing to do since her husband, Christian who had passed away during an earthquake in Turkey, is barely four months gone.
Claire who reacted to this defended the dance saying that it is a sort of coping strategy for her.
According to her, she cannot lose herself to her sorrows and dancing helps her deal with grief.
She wrote:
“I am writing just to say a few things, yes I posted a dance video. Not because I am happy, but because I have to find a way to deal with my grief. I am not alone; I have 3 children to take care of by myself. I can’t lose myself because I need to be strong for them. And in Europe, you deal with mental health in a lot of ways, and dancing was always my passion. So, excuse me, but please just think before you write something or put it on YouTube. Thank you”
