Transcript
Gang. Jim Sexton, America's Divorce Lawyer here. Guys, everybody calm down. I made a post about an hour or so ago pointing out five women who've received a tremendous amount of money in excess of a billion dollars in their divorce settlements and a joke about how we can help you too. It's devoid of commentary. We represent women who are getting a divorce settlement because they were there for a guy and helped build his business. We represent women who own businesses and are CEOs and c suite executives of businesses. We represent men who are married to those successful women. We represent men who are incredibly successful executives and actors and celebrities who are married to people who aren't those things. We represent people who are we've argued both sides of every single issue in the universe. This post has blown up. There's a couple of 100 comments, and it's mostly people having a lot of feelings about the five financial settlements we pointed out in an attempt to be kind of funny about the fact that these are five of the wealthiest women in the world. Again, not five the five wealthiest women in the world. Google it. You'll see that that's not from divorce settlements. But five of the wealthiest women in the world got their wealth from divorce. There's lots of men that get wealth from divorce too. This was not meant to be an attack. This was not meant to be red pill, feminist, non red pill, non feminist. Maybe it's nice out today. Maybe touch rank. Take a minute. Take a breath. We represent all kinds of people, men, women, super rich people, people married to super rich people. We made both sides of every single argument that's out there. You're gonna be okay, Internet. This is why we can't have nice things. Just take a minute. Take a breath.
