George Zimmerman’s Wife Says He Is ‘Selfish,’ Feels ‘Invincible’
George Zimmerman’s wife says she doesn’t know the man she’s been married to for almost seven years and doesn’t think she “ever really knew him at all.”
In an exclusive interview with ABC News shortly after her attorney filed for divorce from the Florida man acquitted in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Shellie Zimmerman said she is left with a shattered life.
“I stood by my husband through everything and I kind of feel like he left me with a bunch of broken glass that I’m supposed to now assemble and make a life…It’s just heartbreaking,” she said.
Shellie Zimmerman, 26, stood by her husband throughout the ordeal that began on Feb. 26, 2012 when her husband shot and killed the unarmed teenager and came to an end when a Florida jury acquitted him of murder in July.
But less than two months later, she filed for divorce.
“I have a selfish husband. And I think George is all about George,” she said.
She claims that at times he was verbally abusive and hurt her “emotionally, but never physical.”
“I think I’m realizing that I have been married to a person for almost seven years, and I don’t think that I ever really knew him at all,” Shellie Zimmerman said.
Shellie Zimmerman said her husband is not only driving too fast, referencing the two incidents in which her husband has been pulled over for speeding recently, but also living too fast since his acquittal.
She says he spent maybe three or four nights at their home with her before she moved out in mid-August. She says she believes the not guilty verdict has left her husband feeling “invincible” and since then has been “making some reckless decisions.”
