Michelle Obama reveals new reason why she skipped Trump’s inauguration amid Barack divorce rumors

Former First Lady
Michelle Obama
has shared another reason she chose to skip President
Donald Trump
‘s inauguration as she fends off rumors of marital problems.

Barack infamously attended both Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Trump’s inauguration, which took place just weeks apart in January, solo.

She recently said it was a choice she made ‘for herself’, but has now shed new light on the decision.

‘It started with not having anything to wear,’ Michelle said in her latest podcast episode, ‘IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson.’

‘I mean, cause I’m always prepared for any funeral, anything,’ Obama added.

‘I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off.
