Michelle Obama’s Bold Statement on Independence Amid Divorce Rumors

Michelle’s sudden decision to swoon over her husband comes after months of speculation that the duo is heading for a divorce.

The former attorney skipped out on two major national events in January, refusing to be by Barack’s side at the state funeral service for former President Jimmy Carter. Michelle was M.I.A. once again at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony less than two weeks later.

During a podcast appearance on April 9, Michelle boldly proclaimed that she was charting her course when it came to her calendar of events after years of having her schedule revolve around Barack.

“I could have made a lot of these decisions years ago, but I didn’t give myself that freedom,” she revealed. “And now that’s gone. And so now I have to look at my, I get to look at my calendar, which I did this year, was a real big example of me, myself looking at something that I was supposed to do, you know, without naming names, and I chose to do what was best for me, not what I had to do, not what I thought other people wanted me to do.”

“I mean so much so that this year people were… they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing,” she added.
