💔 Jen Affleck files for divorce, says Zac Affleck drained $100K+

Jen Affleck filed for divorce from Zac Affleck on Nov. 3, according to Page Six, and the news was first reported on Nov 11. Yahoo's report says the petition went to a district court in Provo, Utah. The reason she gives is the part you can check against the money: she says the shared bank account was emptied.

Who says what

Page Six reports that Jen accuses Zac of draining more than $100K from their shared account without her knowledge. She says so in Episode 4 of the Hulu series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, where she says she went to check the bank and found the money was gone.

"It seemed like he wasn’t being honest, so I went to check our bank, like, the money is gone"

Jen claims Zac, 30, 'invested a ton of money in Bitcoin' behind her back and 'lost it', per Page Six. She also says he gambled their money away 'multiple times' before, through online poker and crypto. Those are her claims, made on a TV show. Page Six does not cite a court document, bank record or any confirmation from Zac.

The response

Page Six reports that after the filing Zac posted a long TikTok caption addressed to his estranged wife. 'I was supposed to protect your heart and I failed,' he wrote, adding, 'I’m sorry I let things get to this point.' The portions quoted by Page Six apologize for how he spoke to her and for not making changes. They do not mention Bitcoin, poker or the account. No public response from Zac to the money claims was found in the reports read. Page Six notes he did not film any scenes for the spinoff.

What happens next

None of the reports read states a hearing date, a deadline or the next filing. How any property or debt would be handled is not known from these sources.

Backstory

Per Page Six, the couple met on a Mormon dating app in 2018 and married the following year. Page Six also reports that their marital friction played out on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and that they briefly separated after Season 1 before reconciling. Jen told US Weekly, as quoted by Grazia, that a hard look at the relationship led her to decide a change was needed.

As of Nov 12, 9:25 AM ET, the confirmed part is narrow: Page Six says Jen filed on Nov. 3, Yahoo places the petition in Provo, Utah, and Zac has posted an apology on TikTok. The $100K-plus figure, the Bitcoin loss and the earlier gambling are Jen's account alone. No hearing date has been reported, and no reply from Zac on the money was found. MissDrama will keep the filing as the document to watch.
