Kellie Chauvin, the wife of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, said she is filing for divorce after 10 years of marriage.

In a statement issued by her attorney, Kellie Chauvin said she is devastated by the killing of 46-year-old George Floyd, who died earlier this week while in police custody.

Kellie Chauvin's attorney said she filed for divorce as a result of this week's incident.

"Her utmost sympathy lies with [Floyd's] family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy," the statement read in part. "While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time."

Kellie Chauvin was born in Laos in 1974 during a time of war. In 1977, her family fled to safety in Thailand, where they lived in a refugee camp, The Associated Press reported. In 2018, she was crowned Mrs. Minnesota.

3. His wife was a former beauty queen, "Mrs. Minnesota America 2018"

Kellie Chauvin was also charged with writing a bad check for $42. in February 2005. So...Chauvin kills Floyd for suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 bill, while his beauty queen wife was charged for writing bad checks.

8. I really don't think Kellie is the problem here.

Why dig up dirt on his soon-to-be ex-wife, who has condemned his actions and is divorcing him? After scouring her background, all they could find on her was one bad check 16 years ago for $42? I don’t know this woman, but I don’t see the need to vilify her, she’s doing the right thing.
Isn’t the Daily Mail, the source of this info, a right wing rag?

5. Derek looks like a Nazi, he has that hardened, cold stare.

Would bet his marriage to Kellie doesn’t include much love or affection, he’s incapable of feeling it. Glad Kellie is getting out, and I hope she stays safe. Good for her for speaking out.

6. She picked a good time to do it! Nt

7. Yes, she probably feels safe to leave now, with all the media attention on Derek.

I bet she wanted out a long time ago but was afraid to leave. Notice how she has asked for privacy and safety for her family members.

9. She is preserving her ass-sets

Once the civil suits roll in.

10. The attorney for George Floyd's family should be getting all their assets frozen ...

... before she can shelter them after a divorce.

If that's possible, me not being a lawyer.

editing: on second thought, he probably doesn't have all that much, better to go after the department, the city, the people of Minneapolis. Big bucks there.

11. I agree! nt
