But Eriata wasn’t having it. The actress said people like the critic speak from ignorance and lack empathy.

According to her, no one knows the battles or healing process that could have led a woman to make certain life choices.

She said:

“You don’t know my past. You don’t know if I have trust or anger issues I’m trying to heal from. You don’t know if I’m taking my time to study who I want to end up with or if I’m waiting for something to click before I say yes.”

The actress further noted that society constantly contradicts itself. When a woman hits her 30s, people pressure her to have kids, but once she does, she becomes a target for mockery.

She added:

“They’ll tell you once you’re 30+ and no husband, just have your kids. When you go ahead to have kids, they’ll ask, ‘Where is the father?’ When you wait till 40, they’ll call you barren. When you finally find love, they’ll say, ‘Why would he marry a single mother?’ “What’s flabbergasting in all of this is that the majority of the people saying these things are women.”
