Jeannie Mai's Ex-Husband's Baby Mama Slams Her For Complaining About Paying Alimony
Mar. 25 2019, Updated 5:43 p.m. ET
After Jeannie Mai moaned on The Real about having to pay her former husband alimony, his baby mama has slammed the TV hostess as a "miserable" narcissist via social media.
The dustup began with the Friday, March 1, 2019 episode of Mai's talk show, in which she told her co-stars Adrienne Bailon Houghton, Loni Love, and guest host NeNe Leakes about having to pay her ex-spouse Freddy Harteis.
Mai sighed on camera, "I was married to someone who had more money than me, but because I was the stronger earner and we lived in California — a shocking thing slapped me in the face when we divorced and I had to end up paying him my earnings."
The Real co-host, 40, added that it taught her about "looking out for myself." But after the clip hit Instagram, Harteis' galpal Linsey Toole, who had his baby, blasted the beauty. "Looking out for YOURSELF is why you’re STILL miserable," Toole wrote in the comment section of the post. She wasn't through, continuing to Mai, "Your complete focus on YOURSELF is why you’re DIVORCED.
"YOURSELF being the most important thing to you in the entire world is why you keep making up LIES for MORE attention." Harteis' loyal new love also wrote, "Ain’t nobody talking about YOU. Because we don’t care! Stop trying to tear someone down who has done absolutely NOTHING to you. Never one time has Freddy brought up your name or drug it through the mud where it belongs."
Toole noted, "Every week you got some new dramatic story so that you can more pity and more attention. How many more lies are you going to make up before you are satisfied? Freddy and I are both working our butts off to have what we have. Not because you gave anything. Freddy walked away from 1 MILLION dollars so he could finally give our family peace. And God has blessed him fruitfully in doing so! Let it go. Stop trying to make up things for people to feel sorry for you.
"You made Freddy signed sic to keep his mouth closed. I didn’t sign for this very reason," Toole wrote.
"I knew you would come back at his throat again. I will speak the truth Jeanie sic. I’m pre-warning that I will tell what really happened if you continue to publicly lie and humiliate Freddy!" Sharing a video from the episode on her Instagram Stories, Toole wrote, "Ratings must be down again. Waiting on that alimony check."
Mai hasn't commented on the controversy. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Mai and Harteis announced their split in October 2017.
The TV star, who has also appeared on E!, exposed her dark divorce on "The Breakfast Club."
"I think it sucks. It’s terrible. You wake up with a rock in your heart and you feel like you can’t really make it through the day because it’s just so heavy. Especially when finances get involved. Especially when people change."
Mai admitted her decision not have children "was definitely one of the big main factors" in her divorce. She cried about her broken marriage to Harteis on The Real.
Just six months after his breakup from Mai, Harteis revealed he was expecting his first child with Toole. She gave birth to his baby girl in October 2018.
Mai has said the divorce "turned when, I would say, when money got involved and ego. "This is where you learn how things change. People say money changes people. So does ego and so does social media. And so does the press. I think that all of that mixed in between — you really gotta keep yourself grounded."
She mused about her ex, "One thing he always said, 'You don’t truly know a person until they don’t get what they want. That’s when they show you who they are."
Mai, who has been dating again, now must deal with the wrath of Harteis' girlfriend!
