Addressing Past Infidelity Claims From Ex-Husband Runar Søgaard
The memoir addresses allegations of infidelity first raised by Søgaard in his own 2020 autobiography, “Gud ga oss ti bud – jeg har brutt ni av dem.” According to Søgaard, he asked for a divorce because Häggkvist had been unfaithful. Speaking to the Swedish website Hänt in 2020, Søgaard stated that Häggkvist received the opportunity to read the two chapters mentioning her name prior to publication, but offered no response to him or the publisher.
