Michael Strahan's exwife spends $27000 on toddler's clothes....

And some people say the system isn't broken...


Text

Jean Strahan, the wife of Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, is seeking a $14 million payout in the couple's bitter divorce fight, insisting the $7 million being offered by the All-Pro defender simply won't accommodate the lavish lifestyle she's grown accustomed to.

The former cosmetics store manager testified that between March 2005 and May 2006 she spent more than $500,000 on "lifestyle expenses," including $22,500 on photographs and $27,000 on clothes for the couple's 20-month-old twins.

Under cross-examination by Michael Strahan's attorney Robert Penza, Jean Strahan admitted that none of the $550,000 was invested, saved or put aside for taxes. Rather, it was spent on things like a 10-day Jamaican getaway for her nanny's entire family and handbags for the couple's toddlers.

"They like to be accessorized," Jean Strahan said. "Isabella doesn't like to leave the house without her purse."

She is also seeking $325,000 a year in child support, an amount first mentioned yesterday.




Even if you believe in alimony, why do these people deserve more than $40k to live a comfortable lifestyle?

Because they've become accustomed to "leeching" their way to an expensive lifestyle.

It's ALWayS cheaper to keep her.

F her and her lifestyle.

I wish there was a button I could press that would inject a bit of "real life" into people like her so they could get a fvcking grip.

She'll probably get it too. Yet another reason not to get married.

Why should she get to keep her old lifestyle?
She's getting divorced, so she's losing her husband, ergo change of life.
Why should her financial situation not change as well?
And, umm, how do the children need $325k spent on them a year? HELLO! They are kids. You don't need that much for 2 kids. You don't need that much for a family of 4 people, including adults.

She was gifted a nice lifestyle by the marriage.
Now she will no longer be married, why should she get to keep the lifestyle that came as part of the marriage she is no longer in?

She went on to try to justify why she would need even more money in the future. According to a list of projected expenses prepared before the trial, Jean Strahan said she would need $4,000 a month for her clothes and $10,000 a month for vacations. She also said she would need two cars, listing a Range Rover and Audi A6 as possible choices.

"But I just saw a Q7, which I liked better," she quipped when pressed on her choice of two luxury cars.

Damn! That part pissed me off. What a greedy bitch.

do you still have to pay if you quit your job first then get it back afterwards?

Not all pre-nups are enforced in court. A lot get thrown out. And finding the right woman is not such an easy thing, considering the current divorce rate.

This is when I would put all of my money into a secret swiss bank account, fake my death and run off to europe or brazil and spend my remaining days on the beach.

I ain't sayin she's a gold digga.....no wait....yes I am. Maybe he can take her out with his smelly pits like in those commercials.

 

[Queasy]

Still, Jean Strahan characterized the past year's expenditures as "conservative" and said she actually scaled back her spending after her checks started to bounce.

Geee....ya think?

Her "conservative" spending is outrageous to the other 99.9% of the population.

Supposedly he did. Either way I think she is asking for 50%

After two days of cross-examination, Penza finally seemed able to break through Jean Strahan's evasive answers, getting her to admit knowledge of three separate joint bank accounts. The admission was key for Michael Strahan's case because he contends that Jean Strahan verbally voided their pre- nuptial agreement when they got married and began sharing all his income.
