Meanwhile, in a confessional, Erika admitted, "I left because he pushed me further and further out. The conversations that I used to have were now reduced down to a sentence or two." She went on saying, "I just kept walking around that house and, knowing that this marriage was headed down a really s**ty path, I had to make a choice to do what was right for me. I couldn't live that way anymore."
Of her sudden divorce, which took her co-stars by surprise, Erika explained, "None of you knew on purpose, because it would put you in a bad position if I were to give you information that you had to hold. It also doesn't serve me to talk a lot about what is happening legally, or will happen legally, because I am married to somebody who's very good in that area."
The singer added that ending her 20 years of marriage to Tom wasn't an easy decision for her, sharing that she "cried every day" and "spent a good 30 days closing out certain parts of my life" before filing for divorce. "This was the end of a massive part of my life, and stepping into basically a void," she said.
Erika also revealed that she filed on Election Day on purpose. "I filed on Election Day 'because I wanted it to get buried," Erika continued. "I was thinking, 'This is great. This is the most important, historic election In modern times, and this is gonna be a blip on the radar. It will slide through, and nobody'll know.' "
