The elderly man whose viral video showed him being severely beaten by his wife has finally spoken out, revealing the true reason behind his silence during the ordeal.
In a recording obtained by GhPage, the man explained that his decision to remain quiet was intentional and not, as many assumed, because he was unable to fight back.
“I kept mute for a reason, not because I couldn’t beat her,” he clarified.
He went on to disclose that the woman seen attacking him in the video is unemployed and that his only “crime” was accommodating her and her children. According to him, she had ulterior motives for her actions.
“She did what she did for a reason, but it was a bad reason,” he stated.
The elderly man claimed that his wife deliberately provoked him with the intention of getting him to retaliate, so she could report him to the police and take possession of his house. He emphasized that he was fully aware of her scheme, which is why he chose not to engage in any form of confrontation.
“She wanted me to hit her back so that she could report me to the police and take my house. Knowing her intentions, I decided not to utter a word or retaliate to the humiliations and beatings,” he revealed.
His response has sparked conversations about domestic abuse against men, with many expressing concern over the challenges men face in abusive relationships.
The elderly man’s story sheds light on the emotional and legal traps some individuals endure in toxic relationships, especially when property and legal battles are involved.
