For the first time, Robert Nolfe, Parashqevi Simaku's ex-husband, spoke to Grida Duma on Top Story about the divorce and everything that connected him to the Albanian singer.

"First of all, thank you for the invitation. It's a very emotional moment, it's a family issue, it's already become public and it's gotten out of control. There's a lot of misinformation. I can't say much, I'm still shocked, I don't mind people misunderstanding me, but the problem is that they're putting me and my family at risk. They're threatening me online. I also have a 110-year-old daughter, who shouldn't be involved in this. People are taking pictures of her and posting them online and saying she should pay for this.

When Parashqevia disappeared, she disappeared from everyone. From me, from Luka. How can I determine when someone disappeared. It happens over time and this is the real tragedy. As a family and perhaps as a state, we did not respond. But I had no choice, I had to take care of the boy, there were other people who were determined to take care of him. We were two artists who were trying to get along with each other. I did not want to hurt them. They said that I hurt them, that I took their son, a lot was said about my religion, that I am Jewish.

First there was misinformation, it took some time for the family to react. When I say family, I mean her family in the US and in Albania. She spoke to Luka today, I can't decide what is considered ex-family or family. My tribe knew her and she was part of our history. I hope you understand me and that people understand what happens after a divorce, no one wins from a divorce.

It is in my interest to see that she is well, I was very touched when I saw her next to Elton and smiling. A few years ago, I had the impression that I had to protect my son, so I was advised by experts. Luka's mind has been taken away since he was 10 years old, even today I asked him if he wanted to talk and it was his choice to talk to his mother. I just want the family to be reunited and be that lost treasure that has been rediscovered.

He was relieved, we didn't talk for long but that's the most accurate way to describe it. That way we'll come out victorious and the ending will be happy. I love my son very much, it's not easy to take custody of a son when you're a man, but I did it because I thought I was doing the right thing.

I don't know if I would change anything, what happened happened. It's an interesting story, it's nice to write a book about it. I had a different experience than other Americans. I lived in Albania for 3 months and I was respected like that. I appreciate it for the culture that it is in Albania, we don't have this culture in the US. I saw it with my own eyes, how important it was for Albanians and that's why I appreciate it, when I said it was a treasure, that's what I meant.

The Hollywood dream was more of a goal that we didn't want to fail at. We prepared an album with Albanian and English songs, but it's not easy to pull it off and that was difficult at the time. Maybe it's better that we didn't achieve it. With all that is being heard in Hollywood today... However, we tried, that was our goal. When we went to Albania, it happened that the President left power. Maybe that was the best moment we've ever been to. I wasn't used to the level of professional jealousy.

Many things were done to prevent her from succeeding in Albania. I won't go into these stories anymore, I don't even want to mention names. When you're in a small country, you can prevent someone from having a career and they did, in the US that's impossible. I would be crazy if I thought I was a bigger artist than her. I supported her a lot every step of the way. There's no joking around with things like that. It's understandable how the situation was. She tried to help but couldn't. Her father's death had a very negative impact on her. She didn't make the best choices for herself, and I'll leave it at that. I never saw her use drugs. When I say made the wrong choices, I mean the legal process. I couldn't provide care for two different people. It was a disaster and I don't wish it on anyone. People get married and think there won't be a divorce. The moment we are in today makes me optimistic. I was touched when I saw what had happened. "From what I knew about her, I thought she would be more closed, more rigid. I don't know how to explain it in more detail ," he said.
