On January 2nd, Karen Jarrett posted a series of tweets where she accused her former husband Kurt Angle of having an affair with a former WWE star.
Jarrett began the thread by clearing up speculation around the end of her marriage to Angle and subsequent relationship with Jeff Jarrett. Karen said that her marriage to Angle was “over long before” she began seeing Jarrett. She then confirmed that the couple had briefly gotten back together as they tried to get over Angle’s alleged affairs, although this attempt failed.
Karen Jarret then appeared to turn her attention to the women she claims Kurt Angle had extra-marital affairs with. One of the women named was former WWE Superstar Kelly Kelly, known as Barbie Blank.
