EXCLUSIVE: 'Orange County Housewife' Tamra Barney’s Husband Files For Divorce, Charges Infidelity
Posted on Jan 08, 2010 @ 05:54AM
Tamra Barney’s husband Simon filed for divorce on Wednesday, charging his wife with infidelity, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
In the bombshell divorce papers Simon Barney wrote: “Petitioner contends that Respondent has been verbally abusive and has committed acts of disloyalty and infidelity.”
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” star moved out of their million dollar home earlier this week and into a two-bedroom apartment, a source who knows the couple told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Tamra and husband Simon Barney have been having severe problems for several years, the source told RadarOnline.com. But Tamra did not know that Simon was filing divorce papers, even after she moved out of their home.
Simon confirmed to RadarOnline.com that he did file for divorce and said: “The papers speak for themselves.
Their marital problems have been shown on the reality show this season. In fact, a promo for this week’s episode shows Tamra crying to her mother about their marriage and how it may be heading for divorce.

Simon and Tamra have been married for 11 years. They have three children and she has a son from a previous marriage. “Simon has simply had enough,” the source said. “The show changed her.”

The couple was at odds on the show this season when Tamra was offered a job by her realtor but Simon wanted her to turn it down and stay at home. That dramatic tension, however, was nothing compared to what has been happening with the cameras turned off.

Tamra has been especially hard on fellow cast member Gretchen Rossi, claiming Rossi was not faithful to former fiancé Jeff Beitzel. Now, she’s the one being accused of infidelity – by her husband.
The show features Housewives Vicki Gunvalson, Lynne Curtin, Rossi and Alexis Bellino.

I feel bad for all of them. Tamra for not knowing what marriage is. Simon for not knowing what marriage is and all the kids involved.

Thank God that relationship is over. It was sooo painful to watch his controlling attitudes and her proclivity toward taking that kind of nonsense. As the season unfolded I became sick from him.

Simon has a lesson learned: stop with the rescue missions. Simon - you can take a ho out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the ho. Find a non rescue mission lady with class and you won't have to "control" her.

I don't care what anyone says. Simon is an A.. Hole! He is a control freak and she should have dumped him a long time ago. What women is going to put up with his crap? No one will unless they are stupid and have no mind of their own.

Simon failed at being a husband and provider. I hear Jim is giving him a job. Jim n Alexis are fake and to be feared of with fake church and morals. Self absorbed twitts

Good luck to Tamra in trying to find another man who will put up with her OR her oldest son. She has a foul, nasty mouth. She lacks class and looks like she's been around the block a time or two.. or three.

Tamra's too focused on being "HOT." Clearly, Tamra's been around the block a time or two. She's a BROAD. Simon is a GENTLEMAN. I'm surprised he's stayed with her as long as he has. She's very high-maintenance, both physically and emotionally.
