In a past interview discussing some the factors behind her breakup with her ex-husband, Lilian revealed that her driver and some of her bodyguards who died were forgotten, with no proper mourning, as life simply moved on.
Her bodyguards died in an accident after dropping her home. “Then my personal driver also later died, and the same thing happened. In fact, I got a new driver the following morning,” she recalled.
This lack of closure deeply affected her, especially because of the nature of her position and the environment she was in.
“The two incidents hit me hard. That disregard for their lives, just because they were security officers, also contributed to me separating from him. I was like, so if it was me dead, would life have continued the same way?” Lilian questioned.
This reflection made Lilian question the value placed on human life and the emotional detachment from such losses.
