The diva revealed that she was in an abusive relationship for several years and was even ready to marry that person, with families involved. “I don’t want to talk about the relationship in detail because it took me so long to leave the person, as I always thought he would eventually change and become better – or that I could fix him,” Omar shared with the host.
She added, “Even after eight years of going back and forth, the relationship was full of physical abuse and so much verbal abuse, so I left.”
“He was so fond of swearing and even told me that he curses at me to show his affection. I mean, I use profanity too while sitting amongst friends, but not for publically demeaning someone,” the actor explained.
Omar also mentioned that she shares a cordial relationship with her former partner, and considers him a family. “I hope he has resolved his issues, as I understand that every supposedly ‘crazy’ behaviour has mental and childhood trauma behind it. Unfortunately, some people just release that trauma in an abusive or physical manner, rather than dealing with it,” concluded the actor.
