A 42-year-old man in Lusaka has decided to end his marriage after seeing a controversial photograph his wife took with American R&B superstar Chris Brown.

Chris Brown who was recently in South Africa had the photo taken with the 34-year-old lady during a “meet and greet” session after his concert at FNB Stadium.

According to court documents filed in Lusaka, the husband claims that the photograph, which shows Chris Brown planting a kiss on his wife’s cheek, disrespected him and has brought irreparable damage to their marriage, further describing it as “demeaning” and argued that his wife’s actions were inappropriate for a married woman.

The image which was shared on social media platforms, has gained significant attention and sparked mixed reactions.

The husband in his divorce petition stated that his wife’s actions breached his trust and their marital vows. He reportedly confronted her but was rebuffed, even as she argued that the photo was harmless and part of the event package.

“My wife acted in a manner unbecoming of a married woman. This picture has embarrassed me publicly and caused emotional distress,” the husband told the court.

The wife has, however, argued that the kiss was not romantic and should not be taken out of context. She maintained that it was a lighthearted moment during a fan interaction and that she never intended to disrespect her husband.

She also accused her husband of overreacting and using the incident as an excuse for underlying issues in their marriage.
