The prostitute told Venus: “Venus, you don’t know me. But I’m calling to tell you what an awful man your husband is.”

Venus described the turn of events: “I woke up our oldest son John. I said: ‘Your dad’s been living a double life, so I’ve got to run down and meet somebody. Can you watch the baby?’”

The motivational speaker recalled: “She said that Tripp had been sleeping with prostitutes for years. And they were blackmailing him. They’d taken all our money.”

“He’d given them credit cards and they’d maxed them all out.”

Why Was Tripp Jailed?

According to Venus, the Tripp is currently serving a 45-year prison sentence in Georgia.

After Tripp admitted to this and checked himself into a rehab facility, one of their daughters came to her and revealed that her father had abused her too.
