This Legendary Sex Scandal Teacher is Only Getting Divorced So Her Student/Husband Can Sell Weed
TMZ - Mary Kay Letourneau — the teacher who served more than 7 years in prison for having sex with her student, who she later married — is about to be single again … TMZ has learned.
Vili Fualaau filed for legal separation earlier this month.
Mary Kay was 34 years old in 1996 when she began having sex with her sixth grade student. They married in 2005.
Radar Online – But Fualaau told Radar that the filing does not mean the marriage is over … he’s made the move to protect his business interests.
After working as a DJ – DJ Headline – for years, Fualaau is now looking to get licensed as a distributor for “Cigaweed” marijuana cigarettes, he said.
“When you want to get licensend, they do background checks on both parties,” Fualaau explained. “If I decide to be a part of it I have to be licensed and I have to be vetted and so does a spouse. She has a past. She has a history.”
I don’t think you can experience a more extreme range of emotions than I’ve gone through in the last 24 hours. From the lowest low to the highest high humanly possible, all thanks to this story.
By way of background, Mary Kay Letourneau is more than just a great Sex Scandal Teacher. She’s a legend. A goddess. The OG who took a niche sport and turned it into America’s Pastime. No lie, just last week I guested on a podcast where they asked me who are some of my all time favorites and hers was the first name that came out of my mouth.
Her looks are among the best ever. Her dedication is unparalleled. She was released from jail with a stay away order from Vili, and immediately ran to him, in direct violation of the courts but in total compliance with her heart. And showed the kind of rare commitment to cheating on your husband with your teenage student that can only be expressed by getting pregnant by him. Twice. She was the heart of the order of the first ever Sex Scandal Teacher Starting Lineup back in Barstool’s Bronze Age.
Theirs is an epic love story. And the idea that she and Vili were out of love was more than I could bear. Like finding out Ted Williams used a corked bat. It would have shattered by world view.
But today we learn why you should never lose hope. That a love like theirs triumphs all. This is not the breakup of these two beautiful souls. It’s just a legal technicality so that Vili can take on the noble pursuit of being a pot merchant. He’s making a better life for Mary Kay and their children, and there’s something beautiful and romantic about the way they have to play out this charade in order to make it happen. Seriously, add them kissing in the rain and it could be a sick, demented Nicholas Sparks’ movie. Granted, the world will be a sadder place without the work of DJ Headline. But the joints he’ll offer instead will more than make up for it. Much more important is the knowledge that their love is eternal. Godspeed to the entire Fualaau family.
