Ben Zobrist’s wife is going to hell.
Pastor Byron Yawn is going with her.
Why can’t she just leave in peace, this is insane. BSO reported how World Series MVP lost $8 million because he took a leave of absence to work on his marriage. Unknown to him at the time his wife Julianna was banging the Pastor whole was their marriage counselor. The Pastor by the way is married as well.
Instead of an amicable divorce, she is trying to take half this man’s money.
This is sick behavior.
Ben Zobrist’s estranged wife, Julianna Zobrist, says the former Chicago Cubs utility man was “guilty of failing to preserve marital assets” when he took a leave of absence from the team in May 2019, so she will ask a judge to award her an additional $4 million when those assets are divided during next month’s divorce trial, according to pretrial documents obtained by theChicago Tribune.
“Rather than accepting blame for having torn her husband’s heart out by having an affair with their pastor, she expected him to be able to totally focus in an elite athletic job that required (100%) of his physical and mental energy,” Rogers writes in the memorandum. “It is Mrs. Zobrist, by having the extramarital affair and confessing same to her husband, and not disclosing the true extent of her affair, that caused him such extreme mental distress and difficulty that resulted in an inability to finish his long and very successful career in the way that he had hoped for and planned for.”
Zobrist is suing Yawn for $6 million in a separate case in Davidson County for intentional infliction of emotional distress and defrauding his charity.
When Zobrist’s wife asked for SPACE, he actually went to the Pastor for advice.
You can guess what advice he gave him, so he could smash his wife in peace.
Ben says Julianna asked him for space, and Yawn, when Ben asked for his advice as their marriage counselor, reinforced her request, he said.
According to the filing, Zobrist “looked at his wife’s cell phone records and realized that she was spending huge amounts of time virtually every day, beginning in August 2018, talking and texting with Pastor Byron Yawn.”’
Zobrist’s wife and the Pastor were using burner phones to communicate behind his back while spending his money that was supposed to be for charities on themselves.
I hope Zobrist is getting the mental health help he needs because this is a lot.
