The actress’ husband went ahead to recount another of his wife’s manic episodes that led to him and six other men bundling her to the hospital.
Austin explained that she was already bleeding and losing blood because she had accidentally harmed herself. According to him, her hands needed to be tied for her to be bundled to where she would get help.
He said:
“I was in Lagos, my nanny sent me a message that it has started again because she knows, everybody knows. I called a friend of ours, it was him, my friend, like six different men that bundled my wife to the hospital. They tied her hand…you need to see the humiliation, but she needed to be saved because at that time she had hurt herself accidentally so the blood was everywhere, so they were even scared because she was losing blood and needed to get to the hospital, whatever it took, they did it and took her to the hospital.”
Not stopping there, Austin recounted another episode that led her to go to Ghana and how he had to follow her there. He explained that he needed security operatives to be aware because if he bundled her the way they used to do in Nigeria, people would most likely beat him up.
He said:
“The last one is very funny, that one is international. She went to Ghana and I followed her. I had to follow her to Ghana because at that point I knew I’m the only one that understands what is going on, nobody else understood. On my way to Ghana I even contacted Mary Njoku, that’s Iroko TV CEO, I was like I’m coming to Ghana, nobody understands this thing, I’m the only one who understands so I need police to guide me because If I do it the way I do it in Nigeria, they might beat me up because I’m going to bundle her, that’s how we always do it because she’s very stubborn, she will not listen to you. At that point she will be asking you if you’re stupid to think that she’s not okay. She was in the office asking ‘do you know what it means to live with mental illness?’ I asked her, ‘do you know what it means to live with someone that has mental illness? You can know how you feel, I don’t know how you feel, but do you know how I feel being around you? Have you asked that question? She was just looking at me because she’s very smart, when you ask the right questions she knows.”
