Former Real Housewives of Orange County , Lizzie Rovsek has been in the new quit a bit lately. She filed for divorce from her husband Christian in the fall of last year. The couple seemed to be having problems on her season when she discussed the spark being gone from her marriage. There was a lack of intimacy that was troubling to her. Marriage is hard, or in this case, ahem, not hard. She seemed to throw herself into her swimsuit line as a distraction.
However, in April of this year, the couple went to Paris on a romantic trip that seemed to be going well. At least on her Instagram.
Then in June, Lizzie was hit with notices from the IRS in excess of $100K for unpaid taxes. The bulk of those unpaid taxes were from 2014 the year she debuted on season nine of RHOOC along side Shannon Beador.
The reconciliation attempts appear to have failed and today, The Blast posted the following joint statement from the couple.
“We have been struggling in our marriage for years and have decided to seek divorce. While we wanted to keep this situation as private and quiet as possible for the sake of our children and family, we no longer feel we can keep this situation hidden from the public eye. We have known each other since we were 22 years old and we have the utmost respect and love for each other. We are trying to navigate this as gracefully as possible. We will continue to have the best interest for our kids and for each other.”
Another Orange County marriage bites the dust.
Is it the reality that breaks up the marriages?
Does one member turn into a famewhore?
Or does reality just turn cracks into massive canyons?
Usually, as in this case, the marriage is already shot. Lizzie talked about Christian not wanting to have sex with her, or being unable to, or just not getting any in general on national TV. Men tend not to like that.
So sad.
Yes, some are obvious like Shannon and David.
Poor Lizzie didn’t know that as a woman we are not allowed to tell the truth about our men. The truth could hurt their little snowflake feelings.
I think there is a bit of a difference between telling the truth and emasculating your husband on national tv.
Agreed, it’s disrespectful to your partner to talk about them and your intimacy problems that way on national tv. She could’ve just said they were struggling in their marriage and she was frustrated, emasculating him is the same as if he tore her down saying he’s not attracted to his wife anymore for some reason so he doesn’t want sex from her. You don’t do that to your spouse.
No offence but that statement screams “I like to announce my relationship problems to everybody at parties and wonder why there’s problems afterwards” ?
Course she should be able to tell her husband that she feels her sex life’s more dried-up than Trumps weave, but not on TV. That’s one sure fire way to ensure a sex free marriage for the foreseeable.
Right?! I can’t imagine any wife would appreciate her husband announcing she’s as dry as the Sahara since menopause. It’s the same thing. Intimacy issues should certainly be addressed. Just not on tv. Or in front of others.
I never thought they were right for each other. Kinda like Scheana and Shay
I can barely remember her.
She didn’t make much off an impression for me. I hope TT does a recap on the shade being thrown by RHONY women. She did on Bethenny basically saying Carole was fired, but there’s more since.
She was definatly a mean drunk. That party scene was bad and I wished he had fired back. I think its destructive to air your marriage troubles in public. What if a husband complained about his wife’s vagina being too dry or too stretched out? It may be the truth, but if you love someone and respect them, you dont do that and hurt them like that.
I always liked Lizzie.Sad to hear this news.
Bravo…where marriages go to die.
ouch* I remember that throwaway comment she made ( which I won’t repeat),. I’ll never forget that. It’s stung. Poor guy. from a woman, from his WIFE, in public on television. Indefensible. Hard to warm up to her after that.
Interesting to see I’m not the only one that felt that way.
Geeeez. Who’s left at this point? I think Kimberly from S1 or S2 and Lydia that are still married. Sad to see.
