I think she had kids for usual reasons then she focussed herself solely on being mum and wife. I think not working has played a negative part for her. She def could have continued working within her community, she had a huge skill set in languages and drama. She has sat at home on SM not doing much as she had nanny’s and maids. I think she got herself isolated and depressed. She should have taken up sport and friendships at least. I think she became insecure with Ioans success and her own identity was lost among being just a mum and now not even a wife. It has being a gradual down hill slide through menopause and loss of self. Losing title of wife is the straw that broke the camels back. This is not an uncommon story among woman.
I agree with this. They met in their early 30’s as good looking actors with engaging personalities who were probably socially great fun to be around. As with all actors they like an audience.
But as they advanced into their late 30’s & 40’s, their acting careers diverged. This is not his fault. It was a fault with their industry. This is where she should land a lot of blame for her situation. Their industry creates roles for men in their 40’s and 50‘s in which they are married to women in their early 30’s. They didn’t and still don’t write about women in their 40’s. When they do, the roles go to A listers. Her reputed bad behaviours won’t have helped her.
Now better women would have looked to find a new career. The choice was never acting or housewife. Instead AE choose a life to which she appears manifestly unsuited. She had no audience so sought one in social media which was at best vicarious. By her 50’s she was overweight, isolated, disappointed and depressed with what appears to be a drinking problem. She is like a character from a 60’s or 70’s feminist novel. Someone mentioned She Devil.
But that is an old book which was a warning for women not to fall into this trap. This is what inspired the fights for equal rights and childcare that goes on today because a lot of women still lose out on careers. Advancements have been made, just not enough. But IG isn’t to blame for misdeeds of their industry.
However imo, it was not inevitable that AE became a housewife. It was a choice. She had options and no one is going to convince me that AE didn‘t make her own mind up.
