What Did She Reveal About Her Marriage With Errol Musk?
She claimed she married an aggressive man who promised to change after they were married, but he just grew worse. The dietitian stated she often wanted to leave the relationship but couldn’t since she couldn’t divorce due to the law.
Maye finally left the marriage that year, which she recalls as being both physically and mentally violent.
Her friends took her to her mother’s house while her husband was about to beat her up at a social gathering, and she was unaware that she was being physically abused. Musk didn’t tell her about it. She didn’t tell her friends about it until they saw it openly, and he couldn’t attack her after that.
The Covergirl spokesmodel expressed regret for not informing her family and friends sooner and recommended other ladies in similar situations to do so.
According to a 2018 interview with CNBC, Maye found joy in working as a single mother, even working up to five jobs at once to help raise her children.
