In the video post, she complained about people who would go under her comment section to tell her to go back to Basketmouth, claiming she was only pretending to be happy.

Elsie then asked her critics why a woman would just decide to leave her marriage if nothing was wrong with it. She said:

“I don’t know why a woman will post a picture or a video of her living her life and you go under the comment section and you are seeing things like ‘go back to your husband’s house, I know you’re not happy, I know you’re just pretending’, how do you know that? Why would you think that a woman would wake up and decide to leave her marriage? No it doesn't work that way. Trust me both parties would have tried to work it out and the point where it’s not working out they go their separate ways, that’s how it works plus it’s not even your business to start with.”

Also, in the video, Basketmouth’s ex-wife wondered why netizens were not in the comedian’s comment section telling him to return to her. According to her, people should do better.

She said:

“Why is it a problem that a woman decides to move on with her life and is doing her thing? Why do you think it’s okay for you to tell her what to do? How about going to tell the man to go back to his wife’s house? That’s why you constantly get blocked because you don’t know how to talk. If for anything, I feel you should share encouraging words.”
