Kevin Costner ‘Wants to Humiliate’ Wife & Make Her Life ‘A Living Hell’ after Divorce Filing, Claims Close Friend!
Amidst his ongoing contentious divorce from Christine Baumgartner, a close friend of hers claims that Kevin Costner wants to “humiliate” his soon-to-be ex-wife.
Allegedly, Costner plans to make Baumgartner’s life “a living hell” during their divorce proceedings.
In new developments of Hollywood actor Kevin Costner’s tumultuous divorce from Christine Baumgartner, it has been alleged that Costner is seeking revenge on his soon-to-be ex-wife. The 49-year-old was ordered to vacate the house she and Costner shared while they were married.
Baumgartner was informed that she would have until the end of this month to vacate the residence, which is located in Santa Barbara and is worth $145 million.
A close friend of Baumgartner’s made the assertion that Costner has a ploy to get even with his estranged wife. The source alleged:
“[Costner is] out for revenge. He wants to humiliate her. This isn’t about the house; it’s about making Christine’s life a living hell for actually going through with the divorce. Christine said she wouldn’t be surprised if Kevin had her escorted off the property by police.”
The same source went on to say that Baumgartner was the only parent out of the two of them who remained concerned about her children’s welfare during their parents’ divorce. They claim that the handbag designer wanted to ensure the transition would be done peacefully, while Costner, on the other hand, worsened the situation and allegedly did not care about protecting his kids from the trauma.
Christine Baumgartner Claims She Has No Money to Rent a Place to Live, Begging the Question of Where She Will Go
Costner’s legal team has requested a ten-day timeline to review the final forensic accountant files before the trial date.
Baumgartner now claims that Costner wants to kick her and the kids out of the home without careful consideration. However, Costner revealed that he had agreed to provide the mother of his children with $30,000 a month to rent a residence of her choosing, an additional $10,000, and assistance from his staff to help her move. Baumgartner’s friend now claims:
“Kevin knows that finding a suitable place to rent in the Padaro Lane community is going to cost much more than what he was originally offering Christine.
The source then goes further to claim that Costner was well aware of the heightened cost of living in that community and could have offered a more suitable amount to help Baumgartner out. Instead, the source believes that Costner purposively gave her that amount to punish her.
According to the Daily Mail, Costner was the primary breadwinner, and at one point, he was the only person in the household making any money. In fact, Baumgartner has admitted that she currently has no income, no accessible assets apart from approximately $50,000, and no earning capacity.
