Following a wave of criticism directed at her husband, Miss Trudy has addressed the backlash on her YouTube channel.
The controversy arose after she discussed in a podcast with Konnected Minds that her husband, Wode Maya, no longer wished for them to travel together as frequently, a change that she found deeply distressing.
In the podcast, Miss Trudy shared her feelings of heartbreak over the change in their travel routine.
She expressed how the decision made her question their relationship and her role in Maya’s life, leading to significant emotional turmoil.
“We used to travel together all the time; life was amazing. We did that for many years. Then one day, Maya sat me down and told me that he can’t be travelling with me everywhere. I was shattered; I felt like my heart was broken. I cried and cried.
“I asked him why; I asked whether he didn’t love me anymore. I thought it was me and him against the world. I asked whether I was a burden to him. He has given me direction in life, and I felt like if he is no longer in my life, I’d feel so lost.”
In response to the public outcry and attacks on Wode Maya, Miss Trudy clarified her statements and the situation in a recent video.
She explained that the intense online reactions were unexpected and that she was surprised by the level of backlash.
“I have been receiving phone calls from people who have been asking me what is really happening between me and Maya. The truth is that everything happening on the internet has actually caught me by surprise because I did not see it coming. I honestly did not see it coming. I am just in shock.
“I did an interview, and we talked about so many things. I was only trying to be honest about what was happening in my life. He asked me a couple of questions, and I answered truthfully. He asked whether we spend enough time together, and I said no, because that’s the truth. But people took this out of context. He asked how I was doing, and I said I was depressed. We all get depressed, don’t we? I was only trying to portray that my life isn’t perfect.”
Miss Trudy emphasized that her intention was simply to be transparent about her experiences and emotions.
She had been honest about feeling depressed and the changes in their travel habits, but these comments were taken out of context and exaggerated.
She reassured viewers that Wode Maya is not a bad person, despite the online hostility.
“I don’t want my honesty to be the reason why Wode is seen as wicked. Now Maya is being attacked online. He is being attacked, left, right, center, forward. I know you guys care for me a lot, but Maya isn’t an evil person,” she emphasised.
She stressed that the attacks on him were disproportionate and that their marriage is not in crisis as some have speculated.
Miss Trudy conveyed that while they are facing challenges, their relationship remains intact and they are not contemplating divorce.
