Simona Mangiante, wife of former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, will divorce him following “months of abuses” and “disrespect” on his podcast.
In a series of almost 20 tweets, Mangiante accused her husband of being a “disgusting traitor”, saying that she “regrets defending [him]”.
“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,” the pundit's Italian-born wife tweeted Monday.

Most of Mangiante’s tweets had been deleted at the time this article was written.
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 :)

Papadopoulos married Mangiante in 2018, after he was found guilty of making false statements to FBI investigators during the Russia probe following the US 2016 presidential election. Then-presidential candidate Trump terminated Papadopoulos as his foreign policy adviser for his campaign following the conviction, claiming instead that he was only a “coffee boy”.
Papadopoulos served two weeks in prison, one year of supervised release, 200 hours of community service and was ordered to pay a $9,500 fine.
In October 2019, Papadopoulos ran for a congressional seat vacated by former Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA). In last week’s Super Tuesday voting, he failed to pass the general election after receiving only 2.3 percent of the vote.
