Recall that Karen Igho revealed her current homelessness and her immediate need for help in a video that she shared on social media on Wednesday.
The reality TV personality also used the medium to declare her desire to take back custody of her children from Yaroslav Rakos, whom she has officially divorced.
She further claimed in her post that her estranged husband is trying to get exclusive custody of their children by fabricating a story about her mental instability.
“I have been homeless for a year, and I have been hurt sexually and physically. If anything happens to me, hold the man who brought me to a country where I know no one. He is trying to take my children away by saying I’m mentally sick.” Karen had stated.
