April 30, 2014 Rep. Alan Grayson seeks divorce from his bigamist wife Rick Moran
This is both salacious and delicious - how not so nice things happen to not so nice people.
Rep. Alan Grayson, who once accused Republicans of wanting old people to "die quickly," is filing for divorce from his wife of 24 years. Mrs. Grayson, it appears, had some dark secrets when the couple married in 1990. One of them was that she never quite got around to divorcing her first husband.
Tampa Bay Times:
When U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson married his wife, she was already wed to another man, according to a new court filing by the congressman’s lawyers, seeking an annulment on the basis of bigamy.
In new court paperwork filed in the couple’s divorce case last week, days before their 24th anniversary, Grayson, D-Florida, accuses Lolita Grayson of fraud, unjust enrichment and misrepresentation, among other claims.
He’s also suing for defamation, the new document states, stemming from a disturbance at their home in March. Lolita Grayson accused her husband of shoving her, but later dropped her petition for a domestic injunction.
Lolita Grayson's attorneys did not immediately respond to a call or emails seeking comment on Tuesday. Alan Grayson's new filing, a counter-petition to her January divorce filing, states that when he met Lolita Grayson in 1985, she "represented herself as single in order to induce Mr. Grayson to marry her."
