Michelle Obama broke her silence on the ongoing rumors about her rocky marriage.
Rumors the Obamas were headed for a divorce began in December after Michelle Obama skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and announced she wouldn’t be attending Trump’s inauguration.
It was also recently reported that Barack and Michelle Obama’s largest donors have dropped them amid rumors about their marriage.
The two have tried to shut down divorce rumors by posting love notes on social media, but most aren’t buying it since they haven’t been spotted together in public in months.
The Obamas posted the obligatory ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ love messages to each other last month.
“If there’s one person I can always count on, it’s you, @BarackObama. You’re my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine’s Day, honey! 
” Michelle Obama said on Instagram.
Megyn Kelly and Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan recently discussed Barack Obama’s public outings without Michelle and speculated the two were ‘soft launching’ their divorce.
Michelle Obama broke her silence on the divorce rumors during an appearance on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast.
The former First Lady gaslighted the public and blamed society for its unfair standards on women. She also didn’t exactly deny the her marriage is in trouble. Michelle Obama kept things vague.
“That’s the thing that we as women, I think we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so that this year people were, you know, 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,” Michelle Obama said of her decision to skip Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
She added, “This couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right? That’s what society does to us.”
“We start actually, finally going, ‘What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?’ And if it doesn’t fit into the sort of stereotype of what people think we should do, then it gets labeled as something negative and horrible.”
