When Cutting Your Losses Goes Wrong: Kristy and Demond Scott
US Weekly recently published that Kristy and Desmond Scott agreed to divorce terms over two months ago. The terms include how they will split the assets, custody of the children, and even how they will communicate on the children’s education. I am sure their lawyers left no stone unturned in order to get the divorce done. However, the article also states from the court documents that, “Ten days after filing, Desomnd, 32, filed an answer to Kristy’s divorce petition with a general denial and requested attorney’s fees, expenses, and costs on March 27th. It appears a motion for trial on merits is scheduled for hearing in July.”
There have been a lot of internet discussions about this couple because those who have followed them were weirdly invested in their relationship. I think there was also a fantastical aspect to their relationship because it looked like they were living the American dream. They were high school sweethearts turned married couple turned popular social media influencers with two beautiful children, a beautiful home, and what looked like a loving relationship.
Our investment in them was the epitome of a “parasocial” relationship activity. So when the news of their separation became public, the internet went absolutely crazy with people picking sides. Some were Team Desmond because they felt that Kristy used him, did not allow him to be his authentic self, and would not let him leave the relationship. Some were Team Kristy because they related to being cheated on. I am team let go of what does not serve you. I am team truth, honesty and values.
They created this internet couple persona together. From many of the comments I read, it seemed that people do not fully understand that although we are seeing aspects of their true personalities, most of what we see is scripted, thought out, and planned. You are not going to get a true first-hand reaction when the camera happens to be strategically placed in the best spot, with the best lighting, every single time. Some of this was performance for their audience, which they agreed upon. At the end of the day, no one truly knows what happened behind those closed doors. However, we do know Kristy filed for divorce because after 11 years of being married, she learned of her husband’s infidelity and staying with him no longer served her well-being or their marriage.
Sometimes we have to know when to cut our losses and leave situations behind, because although we have a strong connection to them, staying in them may actually cause more pain. That is what both of them chose to do. Now, my opinion on this recent revelation from the court documents is: why would Desmond now change what was already agreed upon? They both have money. Kristy does appear to have more because she’s been the main one featured, and it was her social media page namesake. Desmond recently started his Instagram page and has 1.9 million followers, while she has 9.9 million followers, but they worked on her page together. So there has to be some community property asset splitting situation that happens with the money they earned as a unit. After the separation, I do not doubt that her bag did not stop rolling in. His reputation took a hit, but he also gained some traction for those who are Team Desmond.
Point being, his wanting to deny the terms of her petition to ask for “attorney’s fees, expenses, and costs” is only going to prolong the divorce and add to the costs. The only thing I can think of why someone would want to prolong this is because he genuinely does not have the funds to pay in comparison to her.
There’s also a messy part of me that is thinking he is over there with his 1.9 million followers, watching her live her best life on yachts, giving away cars, still being beautiful, and showing more of her authentic self as she travels through this healing journey, and he does not like it. It’s giving you were supposed to crumble, and you did not, so I am going to give you more problems. I am going to extend this divorce situation, ask you to pay these fees that I can’t afford, so you can be stressed out. It’s giving Mary J. Blige Kendu hateration. But that is just the messy side of me that loves a little not-my-drama.
At the end of the day, I do hope they both can amicably, for the sake of the children, go their separate ways and settle this whole thing sooner rather than later. This is an opportunity for Kristy to potentially pivot and grow into herself more and an opportunity for Desmond to do whatever the hell he’s doing over there. Yeah, I am biased. I picked a side in the divorce, can you tell? Lol.
