Later, it was learned that it was not the first time Zachkivska had fled from her violent husband. The first fled to her parents' home in Ivano-Frankivsk. Cervara convinced her to return to Italy with promises of couple therapy but did not fulfill them.
The drop that poured the glass for Anna was when, being sick, he just took her out of the room, without any kind of delicacy. He reacted by taking a train to Rome and then a plane to New York. There he began working at the Ukrainian Catholic University he met two years earlier (The Sun, 2016).
Shortly afterwards, Cervara accused her of failing to abide by her marriage agreement, as Anna had stolen close by and her phone when she left Milan (Daily Mail, 2016).

She does not currently work in modeling because she does not have a work visa. She lives with a friend on the outskirts of New York, away from a Penthouse In Milan full of amenities. However, she asserts that she does not change him because of the freedom with which she currently lives (The Sun, 2016).
