Why do some people want this Nigerian movie star's marriage to fail?

Image
Why are people interested in seeing Mercy Johnson's marriage fail?   This story didn't just pop up from anywhere as there were related developments which led to the idea of a possible crack in Mercy Johnson's marriage.  When the news that Mercy Johnson had deleted all the pictures of her husband, Prince Odi Okojie from her Instagram page broke, all hell was let loose even though she has come out to defend it.

But the common goal, when all is said and done—when the hair's been dyed, or the cooking class taken, or the shots knocked back or the divorce papers filed—is not so much to make a major change as it is to simply feel like one's self again. That takes time, so the secret is really just to push th
