Entertainment & Arts

Actress and comedian Quinta Brunson, known for her role in ‘Abbott Elementary’, announced this week that she is ending her marriage with Kevin Anik. A divorce filing was made in Los Angeles.

As a passionate cinephile, I too find it disheartening when details about my personal affairs, such as a recent property acquisition, become public knowledge through records. I couldn’t help but express my disdain when I shared this with Bustle. “I detest it all,” I said frankly. At 35, I’ve been fortunate enough to act in shows like “A Black Lady Sketch Show” and “Big Mouth”. To maintain a sense of privacy, I’ve mainly used my Instagram account to acknowledge professional achievements and promote my Emmy-winning series.

In the scorching summer of 2020, I proudly revealed my engagement to Anik on Instagram, choosing to keep our nuptials primarily private. Fast-forward to the dazzling nights of 2022 at the Primetime Emmy Awards, where “Abbott Elementary” earned me numerous accolades. As I stepped onto the stage to receive my awards, my husband was there among the cheering crowd, a testament to his unwavering support.

In that moment of triumph, as I accepted the Emmy for writing in a comedy series, I couldn’t help but call him “the most supportive man I’ve ever known.

Brunson and Anik got married in October 2021, yet they have no shared children. In her divorce filing, Brunson mentioned “irreconcilable differences” without specifying when exactly the couple parted ways. The filing also stated that a post-wedding agreement was made concerning the division of their assets, though the specifics of this arrangement remain undisclosed.

Television

In simpler terms, the main actress and producer of “Abbott Elementary” made a comeback as the host of “Saturday Night Live” for a second time, and during her opening speech, Sabrina Carpenter and Dwyane Wade briefly appeared on stage.

Brunson additionally discussed establishing her own limits with passionate but vocal fans of “Abbott Elementary” regarding her personal life. She described these voices as unseen presences that are not in one’s home, and further stated, “When dealing with matters concerning your private life and the choices you make, it is necessary to disregard such opinions.

In another part of the interview, Brunson shared thoughts about transitioning from a popular internet figure to a well-known celebrity in Hollywood, along with the positive and negative aspects of the media attention she now receives.

Regardless of the amount given, people tend to want more and will often take as much as they can,” she noted.
