Billy Blanks' Wife Kickboxes Him to the Curb

16. Dang, 34 years is a long time! Too bad they couldn't work it out. Chances are that the marriage was probably over years ago but they are just now going into the legal process.

17. Well, well, well...apparently nobody from TMZ actually has seen Gayle - or they would be calling them the "fit" couple. At any rate I guess she realized, why am I putting up with this cheating, hypocrite? I'm entitled to half of his hundred million $. Well at least Billy is going to finally have to pay somebody - in case you didn't know, everyone in his videos works for free! And they also have to purchase their own wardrobe. Good Christian - HA!

20.
sounds like this little lady will deliver the final T.K.O. shot to this overrated punching bag.

when it's all said and done, the fact that she " made " him and worked at the core of the business, she will take him down.

truth is, even with the 2nd rate fitness videos and " E " level celebrity status, what REAL women would want an aging black athlete WAY past his prime with financial problems that could fill an arena ?

this "playa " will finally get hit with a TKO punch and kicked to the curb penniless.

21. I've seen pictures of his wife Gayle and she's very large. I always wondered if he was getting some on the side from those girls in his videos. (I work out with them pretty regularly and there are some scary-buff women in the background.) You can't be married to a fitness guru and be obese - bad for business and not fair to the partner who actually keeps in shape. (This is different if there's a medical reason for her weight gain.)

22. "Taebofollower". I really hate to burst your bubble but I have a huge news flash for ya. I know the family personally and what is being said is not slander whatsoever. It is on point. From what I know personally and what I have been reading in some of the comments, some of the people writing these comments also know the family.

23. I think that this is very sad! Billy has done a lot of great things and people shouldn't try to kick somebody when they are down....who would want their business put in the news? Both Billy and Gayle are great people. They both have a loving and giving heart. They have done a lot of things to help and love millions of people around the world, including all of their work that they do for our troops!!!! Nobody should make a judgement or opinion about what goes on in peoples private life! It is to bad that their disgrunteld family members take this time to take a stab at Billy and Gayle. They sound like the typical jealous family members that they you should give them everything that you have worked for. Shame on them for being upset that Billy and Gayle gave millions to their church, to help many many other people. I know for a fact that that money built a youth center for disadvantaged children. But when you deal with greedy family members, it just is never enough!!!!! Sad!

24. People need to stop making comments about Billy's wife and her weight.....She has fibromylgia (a very painful muscular illness)!!!! Everybody should feel like an idiot for commenting about her weight!!!! To say that she is obese.....completely untrue and cruel!!!!! It amazes me that people would say crule things about someone when it is obvious they are going through a hard time and have a muscular illness on top of it!!!!!! How is a weight issue being brought up when someone filed for seperation.....how shallow!!!

25. These posts are ridiculous. I cant believe why people judge people how they look especially when a separation has nhothing to do with it. what is on the outside of a person should not be judged but what is on the inside. My understanding from watching the videos his wife is sick with fibromyalgia and this is a very serious illness. I have many friends with this and it is very debilitating illness. so STOP posting about his wife and look deep into yourself and decide what kind of a person you are for making comments like this. How would you like it if something happened to you to where you weren't able to work out and were sick in bed and your body changed from the way it use to look.....would you want people making cruel and mean comments about you??????? How would you feel????? Hopefully, it would make you feel horrible for making such rude comments......if not, well, you have just shown what kind of horrible mean person you really are!!!!!!

27. Gayle has suffered with a very serious neurological disorder for years. She takes a lot of medication to stay healthy. Back in the mid 90's she would workout and teach classes to the risk of her health. She liked to stay fit and be a part of the center. When Billy was still a down to earth working guy they had a Karate school and taught fitness on the side. they have been together since their teen years. She has ALWAYS been by his side. When they first came to California they scrambled for money just to eat. As she grew more ill her health prevented her from being a part of the on scene gym classes. Their daughter Shelly assumed the role. Billy has been chasing skirts since Gayle was a perfect 10. He is just a rat.
He chews people up and then spits them out when he's done. the ONLY person who places number one in Billy's life is Billy.

28. I have to say I know Billy Blank's brother and sister personally and they are really good people who would never want anything more than love from their brother. They are not selfish and/or greedy people and I never heard them once bad mouth their brother.

29. DOCK...
The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree...then I guess you know what great "christians" the Jr. and his wife are. Something about Jr. gives me the creeps Big Time. Phony, Phony, Phony...especially...the smile on Billy Jr.'s wife's face. She makes me wanna puke. The truth ALWAYS prevails....AMEN.

30. Hi everyone out there. I am the Brother of Billy Blanks and the Brother in law of Gayle Blanks. All of the negative comments that people are saying about My Brother and Sister in law are not needed and uncalled for. Whatever problem that they are going through is between them. After almost 34 years of marriage I am sure that, maybe, whatever is going on between them can be worked out. Billy and Gayle's family here in Erie, Pa and California is very supportive of them both.We don't want anything negative to happen to them. I will admit that no family is perfect and that we do have are problems and differences, but not to the place where we want to be very negative to Gayle and Billy. I reality I can only speak for myself. I love them both and I hope everything goes well for them both, and with Billy Jr and Shelly. May THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU ALL. Thanks Steve Blanks, Erie , Pa
