Just clicked the article for the hell of it, only vaguely knew who this woman was.

Holy hell though. She voluntarily gave up custody of her kid from a former relationship to her 2nd husband? She left the guy the day after the last payment of her education? Like, geeeeezus. She sounds like a sleezy politician all right.

Clearly you didn't read very well. Her kid from her first marriage was 21. How do you give up custody of a 21 yo?

And her husband was 34 when he married her. Hardly what I'd call a "sugar daddy". And if he was so rich, and she married him for his money, why did she have to take out a loan to pay her tuition and why did it take 15 years + to pay it off? And why did he have to cash out his 401k to help pay for it. If her dad was "whoring her out" to a sugar daddy, seems like he could have found a daddy with more sugar.

Their kid was in 9th grade, wanted to stay in her home and not change schools. You guys act like she's this demonic mother who abandoned her kid. Again, there was no problem with Newt dumping his wife while she was fighting cancer but if a 9th grade girl stays with her dad, that makes the mom a horrible person.
