[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s obvious the New Yorker article was planted by her ex husband and his PR team. Masterful rebuttal of her smear campaign against him. [/quote]
It’s not gaining much traction though. [/quote]

Because even if you try to unfairly take half of your spouse's family money, and she remains rich, it's still a scummy thing to do [b]when the cheating spouse has kept all his income during the life of a 20 year marriage. [/b]

And he's always going to be the ultimate pig for abandoning his 3 kids without a backwards glance.[/quote]

You realize she kept all her income, right?  [/quote]

You don't seem to have read her book, if you don't realize she basically had no income for 20 years because she stayed home raising their 3 kids (despite having equally strong academic credentials as her spouse.)   Do you not realize that this was unrenumerated labor she provided to their children?[/quote]

IT’s not just unrenumerated labor she provided to her children, it’s unrenumerated labor she provided to him which he was then able to monetize for his career success - keeping all the money he earned (part of which was due to her unrenumerated labor) for himself.[/quote]

She kept all her money to herself!  Per the prenup. [/quote]

You can keep saying that, but those of us who know how to read know it's not true. Just because people are rich doesn't mean that they can't be victims of husbands who financially abuse them.[/quote]

How do you think she paid “her half” of the family’s shared expenses for 20 years? She mentions this in the book several times. She had significant income from trusts beyond what she into the two homes. The book doesn’t make this clear, but the prenup and the divorce documents do, both of which are in the New Yorker article.

Her ex is a soulless psycho and what she endured was terrible, but she was not then nor was she ever in danger of being poor or even middle class. [/quote]
