Despite granting her permission, she continues to engage in sneaky behavior, lying, and constantly altering her explanations for leaving me. Now, we all relish the juicy details when gossip spills directly from the source. Let me tell you, Gordon Thornton didn’t hold back in exposing his ex-wife, Mia, branding her as a gold digger, a cheater, and a compulsive liar. He even disclosed details about their open marriage, painting Mia in a less-than-flattering light. Did Mia marry Gordon solely for his wealth? Perhaps. But wait, didn’t Gordon meet Mia at a strip club? Didn’t he cheat on his first wife with Mia? It’s hardly surprising when someone with a history of seeking out wealth finds a new target once the riches dry up. Let’s delve into this messy situation without further ado.
Following Mia’s filing for divorce from Gordon, she shared with People magazine, “Every marriage experiences its share of highs and lows. Currently, Gordon and I are living separately. My focus remains on my family, and I’m dedicated to ensuring our well-being. We kindly request privacy as we navigate through this period of transition.” However, Gordon was quick to unveil some undisclosed aspects that Mia conveniently omitted from her statement.
A few months back, Mia opened up about her financial and business situation, shedding light on a family member’s alleged push that ousted her and Gordon from their family business. Their departure from the anticipated big house was announced through Mia’s Instagram post, expressing a mix of emotions. She shared, “This was bittersweet as we anticipated living in the big house for at least 3 years while we decided to build SLP, purchase, continue to rent, who knows, but due to unforeseen circumstances, our big space got cut short. One thing about me, I never stay down for long. Minor setback, hopefully we will have the opportunity to show you our new space.” Drama ensued as Mia, previously asserting herself as a boss, faced scrutiny over being ousted from a company she allegedly co-owned and from a rented home despite purported financial abundance. However, it emerged that Mia had nothing substantial. Gordon has since exposed her, accusing her of being a gold digger, cheating on him, and seeking someone else to fund her lavish lifestyle. Speaking to TMZ, Gordon revealed Mia’s focus on his resources for her envisioned future, and her departure coinciding with his limited access to funds. He admitted giving her a pass due to his age (71) and past prostate cancer surgery, assuming she’d be transparent about seeing others. However, Mia allegedly engaged in clandestine affairs with younger men, betraying their agreement.
“I understand that there may come a time when I won’t be able to fulfill all your needs. I’m okay with you seeking what you require elsewhere, but I have two simple rules: don’t give me a reason to search for it, and keep the children out of it. As long as you abide by these rules, I’m content.” Gordon stumbled upon phone call records between Mia and her purported new partner, Gordon Thornton, at 2:00 in the morning. He revealed that Mia had been dishonest about her reasons for leaving him, constantly changing her narrative. Gordon felt utterly blindsided by Mia’s divorce filing, resentful that she portrayed their relationship as flawless on social media while secretly planning their separation. Despite publicly praising Gordon as a positive influence and a loving father to their children, Mia was privately orchestrating their divorce. Just recently, she expressed gratitude for Gordon’s positive impact on their family and celebrated his 71st birthday, creating the impression of a happy marriage while harboring bitterness towards her aging husband.
As Gordon revealed, he was completely caught off guard by the divorce. He’s decided to speak out because Mia’s actions are now affecting their children. Gordon expressed his lack of trust in Mia and his desire to no longer be associated with her beyond co-parenting. He even mentioned that any reconciliation would solely be for the benefit of their kids, not out of love for Mia. The situation is messy, with Mia herself admitting in the trailer for their reality show’s next season that she once consulted a divorce lawyer during a rough patch in their marriage. She also hinted to her castmate Ashley Derby that she might have been motivated by Gordon’s wealth when they got married. However, amid the drama, there are voices suggesting Gordon may not have the purest intentions and could be seen as bitter. Candace Dillard Bassett, their co-star, was surprised by the revelations about Mia and Gordon’s marriage, as she had no inkling of any issues despite filming together all season.
She discovered their impending divorce when Gordon reached out to several women and their husbands to discuss his soon-to-be ex-wife. Candace revealed that Gordon contacted her husband, Chris Bassett, and Eddie Osefo, the husband of Wendy Osefo, to share the news. “I wasn’t aware of their marital troubles until… I hadn’t spoken about this. Um, Gordon, oh my God, pardon my French 75-induced ramblings. Oh my God, well, first he texted and then he called Chris and Eddie. I can’t believe I’m saying this. And he was like, um, ‘I’m leaving her and I’ve moved out.'”
Social media users are opining that Gordon was fully aware of the situation he was entering into, so he shouldn’t be surprised by how things unfolded. Mia has been transparent about being with him for financial gain, so this isn’t shocking news. It’s clear that he knew attractive women weren’t pursuing him for his charm alone, LOL. One commenter remarked, “Gordon wanted superficial qualities from her, like looks, and she wanted materialistic gain from him, like money. And now one side has dried up. I don’t like the term ‘gold digger’ because what does that make him? Good question.”
Moreover, some pointed out that Gordon left his previous wife for a woman he met at a strip club, so he shouldn’t be exposing anything now. Many believe Gordon would have been wiser to remain silent and let Mia’s reputation speak for itself. If he had been prudent, he would have issued a statement expressing his heartbreak while respecting his children’s privacy at this time.
However, throughout the entire video, he essentially validates Mia’s perspective, indicating that she had the freedom to act as she pleased and simply fell out of love. Some followers argue that his silence would have left doubts about Mia, given her reputation for deceitfulness. Yet, if Mia handles the aftermath wisely, she might regain favor with many viewers. So, what’s your take? Should Mia still face criticism for being perceived as a gold digger, a habitual liar, and an adulterer? Or was Gordon fully aware of what he was getting into when he chose to marry Mia, thus accepting whatever consequences come his way? I’m eager to hear your thoughts, so please share them in the comments below.”
