Former President Donald Trump campaign aid George Papadopoulos’s wife Simona Mangiante announced Monday night on Twitter, in now-deleted tweets, that the formerly married couple are splitting.
Mangiante, in an initial tweet, wrote, “Officially divorcing @GeorgePapa19 after the months of abuses and ultimately the huge disrespect he showed this morning in his podcast.”
“I am tired of him and playing his wife…He is a monster t [sic],” she tweeted.
Law&Crime, a sister site to Mediaite, confirmed Monday night that her tweets and remarks were authentic.
“It’s true,” Mangiante told Law&Crime, further specifying that she was no longer staying with the former Trump aid, who spent 12 days behind bars – after being entangled in the Muller probe.
In a series of tweets sent out Monday evening, Mangiante claimed that Papadopoulos used her for “public benefit,” adding that he “disrespect[ed] me and abuse[ed] me.”
Mangiante’s Twitter profile page disappeared for a period of time Monday evening, but late into the night, Mangiante appeared to be back on the platform tweeting about the divorce.
Life lesson: when you give it all, don’t settle for less than everything. I was there to wait for his prison time @GeorgePapa19 but I guess was better today to talk down to me and have @fleccas laugh at me. After all he has more followers :)

Regrettably, out of anger, I said some things that were untrue about my husband, George Papadopoulos yesterday.
We're a young married couple who have been through many difficult days as you're aware. It has not been easy adjusting.— Simona Mangiante (@simonamangiante) March 10, 2020
