Singer Eddie Montgomery, member of country music group Montgomery Gentry, announced that his wife Tracy has filed for divorce just two weeks after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, The Huffington Post reports.
The post, which has since been deleted from the singer’s Twitter page, said “U find out u got cancer then u found out ur wife can’t handle that so she seek of and files for a divorce,,,merry Christmas,”
He didn’t stop there. The ailing star continued to Tweet about his wife, “She says she’s a Christian wow…I think I need to get her a bracelet what would Jesus do cause I hope he still here with me,” he wrote.
Eddie’s wife, Tracy, responded to her estranged husband’s allegations via her Facebook page.
“There are two sides to every story. Despite what is being said, Eddie’s cancer had absolutely nothing to do with my decision,” she explained.
“It’s what the public doesn’t know that finalized an extremely difficult decision that I was forced to make. I’d like to thank everyone for their kind words and support during this most traumatic time in our lives. For the sake of my children, I prefer to handle things from here on out in a private manner.”
Montgomery, in addition to making music, owns a restaurant in Kentucky called Eddie Montgomery’s Steakhouse. It is believed that he was served the divorce papers while eating there with one of the couple’s four children.
