She said she was too scared to disobey them at first and didn’t tell McAfee what was going on at first.
“Because I didn’t tell [him] it had a strain on our relationship,” she said.
John McAfee, meanwhile, told The Sun that he figured out what was happening on his own and understood that “she was in a hard place.” He said it was a “beautiful moment” when she was honest with him.
After living in a compound in Tennessee, they ultimately left to live on a yacht to avoid arrest and extradition, John McAfee told The Sun.

McAfee, meanwhile, said that he had 47 kids between the ages of 16 and 47, The Sun reported.
On Twitter, he said he had 47 children, 61 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren that he hadn’t met.
I’m not here to give you solutions;
For anything.That’s for you young folks of mine to do:
My lazy children, grand children and great-grand children.
Yes. I have great-grand children.
I’m here to point to the reality around you.
Which you children are so fond of ignoring.

However, he later tweeted that the number 47 was an approximate guess and not an exact count due to DNA testing not being around when he was growing up.
He told The Sun: “It’s very difficult to keep track of. Almost all of them were illegitimate … I keep in touch with everyone… I take care of all of them financially.”
However, he told Twitter that his guess of 47 children was “the best guess given the information that I have.”
Yet cares enough to keep count…

On June 20, she tweeted a Happy Father’s Day message to John McAfee while he was in jail. She told him that he was loved and appreciated. In her message, she shared that he may be polarizing but is always honest.
She tweeted, in part: “Now the US authorities are determined to have John die in prison to make an example of him speaking out against the corruption within their government agencies. The media continues to vilify him, per their narrative, and there is no hope of him ever having a fair trial in America because there is no longer any justice in America…”
