Lyle Menendez’s wife, Rebecca Sneed, just dropped a bombshell on us all! She has announced a divorce between herself and Lyle after his cheating scandal with a 21-year-old British student named Milly Bucksey.
The news of Lyle’s infidelity with Milly has rocked the Menendez household. Rebecca is understandably devastated and has decided that enough is enough even though she denies the cheating scandal. Cheating is one thing, but with a student who is barely out of her teens? That’s a whole other level of betrayal.
Lyle, who is currently in prison for first-degree murder, has been accused of being unfaithful to his other half despite being behind bars. This week an insider claimed that Lyle sparked a romance with college student Milly Bucksey while still housed at a San Diego prison. And as these romance rumors continue to circulate, his wife Rebecca has confirmed the news of their breakup herself.
In a new Facebook post, as verified by the brothers’ attorney to NBC News, Rebecca wrote: “Lyle and I have been separated for a while now but remain best friends and family. I continue to run his Facebook pages, with input from him, and I am forever committed to the enduring fight for Lyle and Erik’s freedom, as has been so evident over the years.”
The journalist-turned-lawyer went on to add: “I’ll continue to update you all on the progress of the case because I believe we all have the common goal of seeing the guys walk free! I will never stop fighting for them,” and concluded: “This is NOT a cheating scandal.”
The news of Rebecca and Lyle’s breakup comes as just this week an insider told the Daily Mail that he has grown smitten with blonde Brit university student. Lyle and Milly allegedly began chatting through the Facebook page his wife Rebecca set up and have been communicating ever since. The source told the news outlet: “Lyle adores Milly. And she refers to him as her boyfriend even though he’s married.”
As Rebecca and Lyle navigate the difficult road ahead, it remains uncertain what the future holds for both of them. The divorce will undoubtedly be a challenging process, further complicated by the media attention and public scrutiny that inevitably follows such high-profile scandals.
