She alleges Folta was paid $400 an hour by Bayer

In another extraordinary development in the saga of Dr Kevin Folta, one of the most prominent defenders of glyphosate and GMOs, his own wife has accused him of trying to hide monies paid to him by corporations. Folta denies all her charges.

Folta is already suing the New York Times, and its two-time Pulitzer prize winning reporter Eric Lipton, for defamation over a front-page article that used Folta as a prime example of how some academics had become “actors in lobbying and corporate public relations campaigns”. The article also accused him of not having disclosed the extent of his ties to Monsanto.

His estranged wife’s intervention came after Folta told his followers in a blog that he was “going through a rather nasty divorce”, having “put the nail in the coffin of a stale relationship that needed to end”. In the original version of the blog he also delineated a series of actions by his wife that he objected to, commenting, “That’s the tip of the iceberg, and it’s amazing how evil people can be.” This comment was later deleted.

She says, “I know what I know, and I know even more. I will tell my story and he can go on a smear campaign about me.” She then says, “He is trying to hide funds. He has done consulting work in 2017 for Bayer at $400/hr and has not come forward with it during discovery and even if the consulting is not finished, he already has billable hours to date made during our marriage. These funds were to be paid to him personally, we had plans to pay off the reminder [sic.] of our mortgage and build a new home... These companies will be transparent during discovery as well: Monsanto/Bayer, McGill, Light Emitting Company, Syngenta, Simplot, etc.”
