Karen Igho, the 2011 Big Brother Africa winner, has started a $50,000 GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for housing and legal fees as she fights for custody of her children. In a deeply emotional video shared on social media, Igho revealed her year-long struggle with homelessness and the ongoing custody battle with her estranged husband, Yaroslav Rakos.
Karen accused Rakos of physical and sexual abuse, alleging that he is attempting to claim sole custody of their children by falsely labeling her as mentally unstable. She urged the public to hold Rakos accountable should anything happen to her, stating, “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.”
Her public appeal has drawn widespread concern and support from fans, as she continues to fight for her safety and the custody of her children. Rakos has yet to respond to the accusations.
