COLUMBIA, Mo. — Sheena Chestnut Greitens says since she accused Eric Greitens, her ex-husband and former Missouri governor, of abuse, he has become “unhinged,” launching a campaign to destroy her reputation.
“When his political future is at risk, he becomes erratic, unhinged, coercive and threatening,” Greitens told Boone County Circuit Judge Leslie Schneider in a sworn statement Thursday. “He accuses me of things that are untrue and generates conspiracy theories about me collaborating with his ‘enemies,’ when I have done no such thing.”
Sheena Greitens, an associate professor at the University of Texas, is seeking to move a custody case involving the couple’s two sons, ages 7 and 5, to Austin. In a sworn affidavit on March 21, she accused Eric Greitens, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, of physical abuse, including causing one of their sons to lose a tooth.
