It was Page Six who first reported on their divorce on November 12, 2015. In their reporting, they claimed the Chicago Med star had filed for a divorce from her then-husband, Alafia, and that it could get “nasty.”
Further, they asserted that she filed the case in the Manhattan Supreme Court and her divorce filing was sealed, making it difficult to know the reason behind the split.
However, in 2016, DaCosta came out with her version of the events.
During a sit-down with Complex in May 2016, she clarified that she was never actually married.
“You get to read that you were divorced a second time when you were never married in the first place!” the In Time actress said at the time.
Because of these false things on the internet, she realized the power anonymous people on the internet had over her.
She even tried to call Wikipedia and correct the information on her page after the false news came out.
Again, in September 2016, DaCosta dispelled her divorce rumors.
In a response to a query about her divorce from Madame Noire, she denied Alafia ever being her husband.
It was difficult for her to disprove rumors online because she never shared much about her private life.
She attempted to ignore the rumors, but to no avail. They just didn’t go away.
“I never got divorced because I was never married, first of all,” she told the publication.
