Simon Barney Alleges Adultery Against Wife, Files for Divorce

Tamra Barney won't be a Real Housewife for much longer.

The reality star's husband of 11 years has filed for divorce from his wife, citing adulerty in his court-filed papers. They read: “Petitioner contends that Respondent has been verbally abusive and has committed acts of disloyalty and infidelity.”

The couple have three children together, ages four, nine and ten. Unsurprisingly, their marriage difficulties have been well-chronicled on the current season of Bravo's hit popular series.

The network reports Tamra has "no comment" at this time, but she'll go public next week on the air. Of course.

"She is going to share her story first on Bravo's Watch What Happens Show hosted by Andy Cohen, airing next Thursday at  midnight," said the Bravo rep.

Simon is speaking out right now, though. And he has few nice things to say about his soon-to-be ex:

"I have been presented over and over as being controlling. Yes, it’s true! I admit it again. I am controlling! Controlling the damage and protecting my family. If you have seen my wife in the last few seasons, you know that if I was controlling I must suck at it.

"Being on a reality show is not my priority in life. My wife and children's happiness and well being is."
