Giuliani gets bashed and called a liar by his wife as they proceed with divorce

https://www.newsweek.com/rudy-judith-giuliani-hero-september-11-liar-divorce-1459140

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was praised for his handling of the attacks on September 11, 2001, but amid divorce proceedings, his wife, Judith Giuliani, criticized him for going from "hero" to "liar."

After 15 years of marriage, the the Giulianis filed for divorce in April. They initially told Page Six they hoped to do it "as amicably as possible," with the former mayor saying there were problems "on both sides."

However, The New York Times reported the couple's divorce has included fights over kitchen renovations, fountain pens, cigars and the dividing of their assets. They also argued over Rudy's income, which has decreased since he left a law firm to work for President Donald Trump pro bono.

Now, the two have a trial date set for January and Judith told The New York Times that court was the only way she could prove his financial worth and receive what she was entitled to. "I feel betrayed by a man that I supported in every way for more than 20 years," Judith said. "I'm sad to know that the hero of 9/11 has become a liar."

a hero on and after 9/11. As a former N.Y.er I was watching those events fairly closely, and I didn’t see that he did or said anything more than any moderately competent mayor would have done and said. Maybe it was just that next to Bush jr. (almost) anyone would have looked good.

wanted to artificially reduce his income so that he could stiff his wife on alimony. Trump did the same in one or more of his divorces.

trump isn't paying him, but she's naive if she doesn't know there are off shore accounts waiting for him.

After the glow from tRump tarnishes, almost all of those in close proximity to him have a story to tell. Rudi won’t miss his chance to get some of the loot from writing a tell all book about Life Next to tRump.

If he cheated WITH you, he will cheat ON you. Apparently, you deserved each other.

You should be THRILLED that someone else will now bear the burden of entertaining his visibly rotting carcass. 'Ol Rudi's twilight years look like they're going to be a little rough.

Somehow I can't for the life of me understand her dilemma.
