Magician's Heartbreak: Criss Angel Splits from 'Narcissist' Wife Amidst Rock Star Rumors
CRASS ANGEL'S LOVE LIFE IN SHAMBLES: Magician's Bitter Divorce Scandal Rocks Las Vegas
The glamour of show business has never been more revealing than it is now, as Criss Angel and his wife Shaunyl Benson find themselves embroiled in a very public and messy divorce drama. The couple, who tied the knot 10 years ago, have taken to social media to air their grievances against each other, leaving fans and followers reeling.
Criss Angel, the master illusionist known for his mind-bending magic shows in Las Vegas, dropped a bombshell on his Instagram page when he penned a lengthy note revealing that someone close to him was a "narcissist" who had destroyed a family. Without directly naming his wife, Angel made it clear that the person in question was responsible for causing harm to innocent children and those around them.
"I stopped following a narcissist – somebody who destroyed a beautiful family in pursuit of another man," Angel wrote, his words dripping with venom. "Please Do NOT support someone who has damaged the lives of beautiful children and everyone around them." The post also included a poignant message for his fans: "Thank you all for your love and support during this very difficult time. Loyally yours, Xcriss."
But that wasn't all - Angel took it a step further by updating his Instagram bio to declare himself "single," with a heartwarming caption: "Single Father of 3 Beautiful Kids❤️." The change sparked widespread speculation about the status of his marriage and left fans wondering what had gone wrong.
And then, just hours later, Shaunyl Benson, Angel's wife, fired back with her own scathing post. In a video, she appeared dressed in a black tank top and cap, her expression a mix of anger and sadness as she accused someone of trying to defame her. "Someone is trying to ruin my reputation," she said, her voice trembling.
Benson also hinted at infidelity, admitting that she had sent a message to a rock star when she felt lonely - but was met with silence. The post sparked outrage among fans, who took to social media to express their shock and disappointment.
But this is not the first time the couple has faced rumors of marital problems. In 2023, Angel proposed to Benson again after a reported divorce. It seemed like a fresh start for the couple, but now it appears that their relationship was already on shaky ground.
Benson's Instagram account has been filled with cryptic posts and messages over the past two months, hinting at pain and heartache. In one post, she wrote: "Let’s talk LIES and how it’s actually a form of black magic. I know that’s a wild term but if you’re telling lies, you’re actually trying to manipulate somebody else’s reality… ✨." Another post read: "When they come to burn you down but they forget that you come doused in gasoline. I dare you to light the match, because the fire will only help me rise."
TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to Angel's rep for comment, but so far, there has been no response.
Criss Angel's personal life has always been a subject of fascination for fans and media alike.
