Jill Scott and her husband, Mike Dobson, are divorcing and things are already getting ugly. According to reports, the 45-year-old singer/actress filed for divorce on Sept. 5 after only 14 months of marriage to the unemployed 49-year-old with five children.
According to the documents, Mike claims that Jill coerced him into signing it just three weeks before their wedding and that she committed a scam. Mike wants half of their marital assets plus $500,000 for the “pain and suffering” she put him through.
Last year, Dobson told Bossip: “She [Jill] likes to emasculate men – that’s her problem. I told her, she’s from Philly, but I’m from New York, and if you want to try to disgrace me, try to slander me, I can fight dirty.”
Scott cited “irreconcilable differences” and “inappropriate marital conduct that such further cohabitation would be unsafe and improper” which can refer to offenses ranging from infidelity and verbal or physical abuse to cruel treatment and sexual impropriety.
Jill must be pretty pissed because she’s insisting that their prenup is upheld to ensure he won’t be getting his hands on any of her coins.
While Dobson has not formally responded to the divorce petition, he did make time to talk to Bossip about his issues with his famous ex and he’s being awfully messy with their business.
“She’s an evil woman. I’m telling you. It’s like what Jill Scott wants, Jill Scott gets,” he said. “People are in her ear, and if someone comes in to challenge the dumb sh-t, they made me be the bad guy and that got me outta there,” he said.
“She’s got issues,” Dobson added. “There’s no men in that family, there’s only women. And when a man comes in, it’s like a challenge. She’s made other men look bad, but I’m not the one. I said (to her) ‘you’ve met your match.’ She likes to have men that she can control. You’re not gonna control me. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong.”
