Judge Greg Mathis, known for his years as a TV judge, has found himself in the middle of a personal scandal as his marriage of 39 years to Linda Mathis unravels. The couple, once considered a powerful duo, has now been hit by accusations and messy rumors, with Judge Mathis accusing his soon-to-be ex-wife of being a gold digger.

For nearly four decades, the public saw the couple as a model of longevity, especially in the world of fame where relationships rarely last.

However, the façade of their happy marriage has crumbled, and recent developments suggest things were far from perfect behind closed doors. Judge Mathis himself admitted that his career had consumed him, causing him to neglect his wife, Linda. He was reportedly working long hours, traveling frequently, and prioritizing his professional life over his personal life.

Mathis revealed in interviews that he would often be away from home for weeks at a time, leaving Linda feeling isolated and abandoned. He candidly spoke about his failure to balance work and family life, noting that his neglect pushed Linda to her breaking point. Despite his promises to cut down on his work commitments and spend more time at home, it seems that Judge Mathis couldn’t keep his word, further straining the marriage.

Linda, who had stood by his side throughout his rise to fame, was reportedly fed up with playing second fiddle to his career. An insider revealed that she had sacrificed her own ambitions for the sake of his success, but was no longer willing to continue doing so. After years of putting up with his absences, Linda finally reached a point where she wanted to reclaim her life and her time.

What really ignited public interest, however, were the claims that Linda was seeking spousal support as part of the divorce proceedings. This led to Judge Mathis accusing her of being a gold digger, a claim that many found surprising after nearly 40 years of marriage. While some, including Mathis, have criticized Linda for seeking financial compensation, others have defended her, arguing that after such a long union, she is entitled to a fair share of their assets.

Linda’s transformation since the separation has also drawn attention. Friends and insiders have noted that she seems to be thriving post-separation, focusing on herself for the first time in years. This “glow up” has sparked rumors that Linda’s newfound confidence and independence are part of her plan to seek more attention and money from the divorce. However, others argue that she’s simply reclaiming her life after years of being overshadowed by her husband’s career.

As the drama continues to unfold, Judge Mathis has been put under the spotlight for his own behavior. In addition to accusations of neglect, there have been whispers about his controlling and sometimes volatile nature. A past incident from 2019, where Mathis allegedly spat on a valet, has resurfaced, painting a different picture of the TV judge than the one seen on screen.

In the end, both parties have their sides of the story, and the truth likely lies somewhere in between. What’s clear, though, is that this high-profile divorce is far from amicable, and the public will likely see more accusations and revelations as it progresses.
