The husband of shamed California “super mom” Sherri Papini has filed for divorce just days after she pleaded guilty to charges related to her sensational kidnapping hoax, reports said Friday.

Keith Papini of Redding, Calif., filed for divorce from Sherri on Wednesday in Shasta County court, a local ABC affiliate reported, citing court documents.

Sherri pleaded guilty Monday to lying to federal investigators and mail fraud as part of her scheme to fake her own kidnapping in 2016.

In November 2016, Papini, a 39-year-old mother of two, was found about 150 miles from her home after being missing for three weeks.

When found, Papini had a chain around her wrist, her blond hair had been cut, and a “brand” had been seared into one of her shoulders.

Papini, who once described herself as a “super mom,” claimed to investigators that she was kidnapped by two Hispanic women while jogging

Throughout the time she was missing, Keith Papini repeatedly spoke to reporters, urging the public to help locate his wife. In the years since the hoax kidnapping, he’s also publicly supported her and claimed he believed she was actually kidnapped.

But prosecutors said Papini was with her ex-boyfriend, James Reyes, at his apartment in Costa Mesa, Calif., during the weeks she purported to be kidnapped.

On Monday, US District Judge William B. Shubb asked Papini how she felt before she entered her guilty plea for making false statements and mail fraud related to the money she received from the California Victim Compensation Board.

“I’m sorry, your Honor, I’m sad,” she said.

She faces a maximum of 25 years behind bars for the hoax

25 years for this hoax but fake hate crimes get wrist slaps. I know she’ll probably get far far less but still.

25 years is too much, but certainly a couple of years are warranted.

Was she having an affair?

I just read, she was having an affair.

If a woman, or man for that matter, express unresolved feelings for an ex, that’s just a disaster waiting to happen. Don’t marry that person.

In addition she took $30,000 from the California Victim Compensation Board and $49k from GoFundMe.

She’s attractive. The Butch’s and Dykes in Prison will fight over her.

She gets a far harsher sentence than Smollett.

Go figure.

More information:

The prosecutor said Papini began planning the kidnapping hoax with Reyes around December 2015 and instructed her ex to obtain prepaid cell phones. On Nov. 2, 2016, Papini texted Reyes and told him to pick her up.

“She met him wearing running attire and left her regular cell phone on the side of the road,” Alegria said. “They later drove to the ex-boyfriend’s residence where she stayed for approximately 22 days until she instructed him again to rent a car and return her to Northern California.

“She repeatedly told law enforcement that she had been kidnapped by two Hispanic women, who she told law enforcement agents abducted her at gunpoint. And she, among other things, described the Hispanic women to an FBI sketch artist for the creation of FBI wanted posters,” Algeria continued.

After she reappeared, Alegria said Papini applied for and used funds from the California Victim Compensation Board to buy new blinds for her home and pay for other costs, including therapy for her alleged anxiety and PTSD.

Papini received those checks through the mail, which accounts for one of the charges she pleaded guilty to. In total, Papini defrauded the California Victim Compensation Board of $30,694.50, Alegria said.

Hanging out with her ex-boyfriend while hubby is at home with the kids going nuts.

Then this week the gal in NY gets murdered by her handyman/lover, of 2 years, while the hubby is away with a son visiting colleges. At least he doesn’t have to go through a messy divorce. I wonder if he knew about the affair?

She has that same deeply depressed look about her that the mother who lived in an old bus and killed her all her children 10-15 years ago.

Yes, the slag went to ride her ex-boyfriend for three weeks. Total skank...

It’s one thing to sneak a way for an hour or two at a hotel. But to put your husband and kid through three weeks of hell, and then throw a little more fuel on the race fires in America... that’s just low life.
