Smith's mom says Courtney was aiming to "take down Meyer"

“She told me that not one time, but in fact she said it several times over the years,” Bruce said. “When she found out five years ago that Zach had cheated on her, she was so angry that she vowed to me she would get back at him someday. And she said she would take Urban down, too. And this is exactly what she did. She wanted to do as much damage as possible. She has been planning this for some time.”

Cool. Blame the victim for getting her arse kicked. Nice.

Her ex-mother in law isn't the most convincing witness.

Her own mother doubts her story as well. Quoted in article.

He left out the best part

Courtney smiths own mother said she doesn’t beleive her and thinks she is exploiting Zach Smith

So, she was pregnant, and being punched silly by her husband, and she was thinking, "About a decade from now, I'm going to take down Urban Meyer!"

“Her own mother is backing Zach in this issue and I am sure that makes her mad,” she said. “They do not speak anymore.”

Reached this afternoon, Tina Carano would only communicate via text messages and backed Lynn Bruce’s version. When asked if she believed her daughter’s claims of physical abuse, she replied, “I believe that Zach was removing himself from an argument and I do not believe he intentionally abused her. I do not believe he actually intentionally swung or punched her … no.”
