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

Are they doing anything to the boyfriend? He was obviously in on it, too.

And I didn’t mean “in on it” in any suggestive, prurient way.

Okay, yes I did.

She gets a far harsher sentence than Smollett.
Go figure.

I guess you didn't get the memo. Vicious blondes are far more dangerous to society than poor little gay black guys. Look at those nasty choppers...

Kidnapping can get you a sentence up to 20 years. If she fakes a serious crime, why shouldn’t she do the serious time?

And she faked this crime and blamed two imaginary Latinos for it so she could presumably get some side action with an ex-boyfriend. She’s a sleaze.

He should get the house and kids as well.

He should get everything.

She should get prison.
