Tom Sharkey, The Husband of Alexis Sharkey, the highly regarded Instagram influencer that was recently found lifeless and naked on the side of a road in Texas says he’s receiving death threats, according to Fox News.
“Sir, my wife was an amazing woman. She really was. There’s always other sides to everything. I was the one holding her, cuddling her. I don’t need to set the record straight. I’ll let it play out the way it is. I know what my life was with my wife.”
Allegedly, Alexis Sharkey told a friend that she was filing for a divorce because on a recent trip her husband “had been putting hands on her.”
“Throughout the trip, he was sending really awful, nasty messages to her. But one night when she and I were talking alone she said, ‘He strangles me and chokes me out and I blackout and wake up on the bathroom floor every single time.'”
Tom Sharkey claims they “didn’t fight when she left.”
“I just told her she couldn’t drive under the influence. She left anyhow. This is where we’re at.
“It’s horrible. People are talking tons of crap. I’m getting death threats and stuff. None of that bothers me. What bothers me is that world and everybody in it focuses on all of the stuff that doesn’t matter … should have been focused on finding my wife.”
An autopsy is pending further review.
No arrests have been made.
