Part of the lengthy post read:

"At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust. I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception. I am tempted to run into shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have gained my strength enough for me to say, 'whatever, my life is better this way'."

In an Instagram video, Lupita disclosed that she was gifted ten books which helped her heal her broken heart.
