Rachel Lindsay is looking back at one of the most-talked about moments from her divorce from Brian Abasolo.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Smith Sisters Live, Rachel was asked about the now-viral Zelle memo she used after he was awarded $13,000 in monthly spousal support, per Page Six.
In the memo, she wrote, “Temporary leech money,” as Rachel was ordered to make two monthly payments rather than paying the lump sum each month.
Rachel confirmed the story, saying the note came from frustration over the amount she had to pay at the time.
“The moment I realized I had to pay temporary support, which is way more than whatever you, I mean, I’ve settled. I’m done. I am not making any payments. People love to say that. And I’m very proud, like, dumb not getting a prenup, but proud that I was able to pay it off in a year,” she said.
Rachel explained she thought the memo would stay private.
“And so I thought, how can I say this where it’s not too much, but like, just it stings just enough,” she recalled. And I would have continued. I was going to change it every single time when I sent it. And I thought, ‘Okay, it’s spousal support, but he’s a f–king leech.’ And so I was like, ‘Temporary leech money.’ And I sent it.”
She claimed her ex wanted the public to turn on her after the memo surfaced, but said the reaction went another way.
“He wanted so badly for people, he thought people would hate me for it, would turn on me,” the reality star explained. “And he also asked the court to sanction me $5,000 for that. And it’s like, okay, you just got $13,000 and you’re mad about the note. And you want me, because he wanted people to feel a certain way, and instead it made him look stupid.”
“My older sister only refers to him as ‘Leech,’” Rachel added.
