Brianna Smith, the current partner of Michael, who was previously married to a woman named Leah, recently shared a lengthy post on Facebook addressing ongoing conflicts with Leah, the mother of Michael’s children.
In her post, Brianna shares her frustration. She claims that Leah closely watches Michael’s social media and tries to portray herself as a victim in their disputes.
Brianna says Leah quickly responds to Michael’s Facebook posts.
She revealed that within 40 minutes of Michael mentioning a trip, Leah sent him a message, writing:
Triggered? Imagine being so triggered that you stalk your ex-husbands Facebook so much that within 40 minutes of him posting he was taking a trip, you texted him to cause trouble. He ignored you to be the bigger person like he has done for MONTHS

Brianna believes Leah sent Michael a message to do nothing but cause problems.
The very next day, Michael posted about going to a Notre Dame football game. Within 22 minutes of his posting, Leah commented first out of 26K+ people.
On top of that, the post was also not about her at all. Brianna feels this shows Leah is overly focused on Michael’s life after their divorce.
The post also talks about Michael and Leah’s children, Star, Keith, and Donnie. Michael has them four days a week, while Leah has them for three.
Brianna asked Leah to stop playing victim and care for her children, writing:
You only get the babies 3 days of the week. Instead of interrogating them and screaming like a lunatic, maybe spend time with them? How do you have time to make all these posts and comments? You have such a limited time with them, you’d think you would spend it wisely

Likewise, Brianna claims Michael works during the week and sometimes takes trips on weekends. During his trips, he leaves the kids with their grandmother, who enjoys spending time with them.
“He asked the kids if they wanted to stay with you or with grandma, and without even a thought, they picked grandma,” Brianna penned in the post.
She also revealed that Leah once complained about having them for extra days, saying it was too much of a burden, writing:
Not that he should even be nice enough to give them to you for an extra two days since both times through out summer he did that, you complained about having them for “too long and needed a break.

Brianna believes Leah doesn’t focus on the children and instead uses them to control others, saying:
It’s never been about the kids, they are just pawns to you. It’s always about controlling the people around you and if you cant do that, you have to control the narrative. When that fails, here comes the triggered temper tantrum.

Brianna revealed that Michael pays Leah $1,400 each month to help with her expenses, even though he has the children most of the time.
She describes Leah’s home as a small two-bedroom place where Leah, her mother, and the children sleep close together, which Brianna thinks is not good for the kids.
You do not work and refuse to get a job. $16,000.00 is roughly how much you have been given, yet moved the children into a two bedroom dump while having your nails done and feathers in your hair.

You and your mom sleep in the same bed, just like you did through your whole marriage. You make the kids sleep with you as well. Except mom sleeps at the foot of the bed like a dog. What type of environment is that for 3 small children?
The post also accuses Leah of being unkind to the children, stating that they cry when they have to visit her house.
Brianna recalled a time when Star cried and begged not to go with Leah, “Those babies cry when they have to go to your house. They cling to me, him, or his mom. You know that, you were there when I had to carry Star and put her in your vehicle bawling her eyes at and begging me not to make her go.“
She claims Leah questions the children too much and threatens to take their things if they make mistakes.
Brianna further states that Leah tries to make Michael look bad to others and has been unkind to him, his mother, and even her own mother during their 13-year marriage.
She believes Leah needs help and is not acting responsibly. Brianna suggested she may require mental health assistance.
In the post, Brianna defended Michael, calling him a wonderful father, son, and partner who works hard to support his family.
She says Leah is upset because Michael is happy and does not need her permission to do things like attend a football game.
Brianna ends by saying she will not respond to Leah anymore, believing Leah’s actions show who she really is.
She shared Leah’s posts and warned her not to cause more trouble.
In the conclusion, Brianna hopes Leah will focus on improving her life and taking better care of the children.
