Sean Payton Loses $3.45M Texas Mansion With Disco In Divorce
 
She gets the gigantic house that Sean Payton’s NFL coaching salary paid for this year. Payton gets his freedom from his wife, Beth, via divorce. The couple would have celebrated their 20th anniversary on July 11. Tough luck for both of them. She gets to raise two kids and Payton gets to pay alimony & child support for a very long time, according to Ryan Jones of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. She’ll also be holding onto the house with a disco.
You might remember it was just back in March when we learned Payton & his wife were buying this insane house with over 7,700 sq. ft.

Sean Payton Loses $3.45M Texas Mansion With Disco In Divorce

Ugh, that has to hurt. I bet he bought that home in an attempt to salvage the marriage. Either way, I wouldn't wish what he's going through on my worst enemy. Almost a blessing that he doesn't have to worry about coaching this season. Almost.

Not the DISCO!!!!!!

Some ugly interior decorating in that house......just sayin.

burningmetal 07-06-2012 10:10 AM

Why does she get the house? Did she do anything to contribute to the purchase of it? I doubt it. I won't go on a rant considering I don't know any facts about what happened to them, nor would I want the media to inquire about such things. But something smells suspiciously like gold digger, to me. Hope I'm wrong, but then what difference does it make.

Could be a hush agreement on something Sean may have done. That's a lot to roll over on without being guilty of something.

burningmetal 07-06-2012 10:18 AM

That or it could be an agreement he made with her before buying the house as a way of showing her he was committed to her, by taking that risk. We'll never know. My point is that some people are just very selfish and find ways to trick people into giving them what they want. It could be the other way around, of course. It would be nice to get some good news around here.

pherein 07-06-2012 10:25 AM

i agree. no flavor to that house. Its a little bit to Dallas for my taste

lynwood 07-06-2012 10:26 AM

Yeah but this isn't TMZ

Not sure what TMZ has to do with anything. They're nothing but gossip, but no one here is claiming to know exactly what happened. Like I said, we'll never know. Frankly, it should stay that way.

It really sucks for them, and I know how it feels.

20 years of marriage and the raising of two kids shows little signs of gold digging and plenty of contribution towards the buying of the house. He's probably thankful she didn't get one of his testicles too.

Papa Voodoo 07-06-2012 11:50 AM

She's just going to sell it for the money.

I know what happened leading up to his move to Dallas. Beyond that I have no idea, but I know why they moved there.

Let me say again that I don't claim to know for sure the reasons. But as for your comment about 20 years of marriage... That doesn't disprove the possibility of gold digging. Sean has been in coaching for a long time, and there is a lot of money involved in that. You'd be surprised how long a person will live a lie to benefit themselves financially. I don't know that Sean's wife is one of those people, but the fact that she got so much stuff makes it sound like she drove some pretty hard pre-nups, or maybe something more recent agreement, but either way it seems pretty steep. He brings home the bacon, and while she was there to help raise the kids I don't consider that contributing to buying a house. I don't know who's fault it is for breaking up their marriage, but I just think it's stupid that she got as much as she did.

burningmetal 07-06-2012 01:19 PM

I don't know why we're talking about this, though, so let's talk about something more positive. Training camp is almost here, and I'm looking forward to some real football news!

You are correct. But 20 years of marriage does dramatically dampen suspicion of it.

Thing is they were together well before he became a successful coach... before he became any kind of coach. Together before he went undrafted to the NFL.

Or the fact they didn't have a pre-nup? He was a position coach in the college ranks when they were married. Half of poop is still poop. He didn't become this successful until way later in his coaching career. It's the law of the land which is why she's getting what she's getting. Unless there's a pre-nup, she's getting half.

This shows your age, inexperience, and the fact you probably don't have any kids. Also, have you read her bio? She's not sitting at home being a trophy wife. This isn't one of those run in the mill pieces of gold digging eye candy we're talking about here. 20 years of marriage... she's getting what the law says she deserves.

This is more interesting to me than all that bounty stuff.

Right now, if Mickey Loomis walked outside and dropped a turd in a punch bowl, that would be more interesting than all this bounty stuff.

Bounty/Goodellgate is nauseating. I'm only covering it to give what I can to "the fight" and a little google bump which hurts King Roger. Otherwise, I'm sick to my stomach.

neugey 07-06-2012 02:47 PM

So ... losing the Disco ... isn't that addition by subtraction?!

Rugby Saint II 07-06-2012 03:07 PM

Coach is suffering......that's all I know. However, his wife was supportive of him and his move here. For that alone I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

... meh, Sean knows disco's dead ... died back in the late 70's ... I remember going to a Tigers/White Sox double-header at Cominsky Park where the cost of admission was a disco record & a buck ... a local Detroit/Chicago DJ (Steve Dahl) ceremoniously blew up the records between games ... yep, disco officially died that evening ... it was a steamy night and a hot Chicago tramp made a man out of a young SloMo visiting the Windy City for the first time, :lol: ... not really, just a little something-something to spice up the story ... :mrgreen:.

saintsfan1976 07-06-2012 03:26 PM

If keeping her quiet is worth $3.5 million then something bad happened.

AllSaints 07-06-2012 03:57 PM

He's going threw the big D and she got Dallas... hahhaa

TheOak 07-06-2012 07:25 PM

i hope all ex-wives get Dallas.

I wasn't attempting to start a big thing, and I said more than once that I don't know what all the details are. But you hit below the belt, guy. I have a wife and daughter, and spend most of my energy trying to stay sane enough to take care of my daughter, while my wife sits on the computer most of the day and breaks every vow she ever made. Yeah, I know a little something about life, but you wouldn't know that about me, would you sir?

I wasn't basing my comments, which were nothing but hypothetical, on some stereotype. I speak from experience of what a person can do to another. I have nothing more to say.

mutineer10 07-07-2012 09:03 AM

No surprise. Men always get cleaned out ... and the longer you're with the woman, the more she tends to take away in the end.

Hardly a gold digger. Payton was allowed to do what he does because the person taking care of the home and kids was Beth. I don't know what went on between them but I know that coaches wives take care of making sure the bills get paid on time, kids are fed, watered and schooled. They had been married for nearly 20 years and it is a partnership. If she had come along in the last couple of years maybe she could be labelled a gold digger. Not saying she should have got the house, I don't know what she should have got but I think it's unfair to say she had nothing to do with his success.

There is no loss.
There is a gain of a new life.

st thomas 07-07-2012 01:15 PM

according to my source in Dallas Sean got caught with a saintsation, it makes sinse, handing over a home for his kids to be comfortable in is a sign of a great dad. handing over a small mansion that took u to the bank has some guilty feelings to her.

And what about the mansion? :clown:

OldMaid 07-07-2012 10:44 PM

I agree with SaintGup.
I hope there was no "third party."
Sad. Money yeah, still sad. Their kids are like middle-school aged. Yeah, she got a lot. He earned a lot. She got her share. Seems he was generous, fair. That is good because they won't have any long , bitter divorce there. She , aged 40's, is hardly a gold-digger. 20 yrs. marriage, two kids, traveling and living all over the place as they chased their dream of him being an NFL HC and when they married 20 yrs ago, he had nothing. They did not sign a prenup, I am sure. Prenup what?
Good of them for keeping their divorce quiet and fast and both of them at peace...I guess at peace.

QBREES9 07-07-2012 10:56 PM

A wise man once said it cheaper to keep her.

burningmetal 07-08-2012 08:24 AM

I understand what some of you are saying, and I don't disagree. But I also know that one does not have to be rich to be used. Perhaps gold digger wasn't the term I was looking for, but Sean has had ties to football for a long time, and theoretically she could have seen an opportunity and went for it. That doesn't mean she might not have cared at all for him, but I've seen a lot and experienced my own hardships to be skeptical of people.

The key word in that last paragraph was "theoretically". It might be all Sean's fault or maybe it's a little bit of both of them. I just noticed that a lot of people are jumping the gun on Sean and assuming he did something when they don't know anything more than I do. And about the prenup comment, I did say "that or maybe something more recent". I don't claim to know, but obviously somebody agreed to something, and I thought it was very odd how much she got. Oh well... I sure hope he didn't do something really stupid, because if he did, I couldn't respect him much.
