Hunter Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle is issuing a major warning to women after divorcing Hunter after 24 years of marriage.
Buhle calls on women them to take responsibility for their finances within their own marriages instead of allowing men to do it for them.
Once Buhle says she allowed Hunter to take control of the couple’s finances, she declined to ask any questions about how they were affording a luxury lifestyle.
“It’s embarrassing to say that I ceded all financial control to my husband, and kept my head buried in the sand,” she said.
“I liked the nice things, and I didn’t want to think about the cost at which they were coming.”
Sitting down for an interview with ABC News anchor Amy Robach,
Hunter is accused of abusing his father’s political position and power to rake in millions in corrupt overseas dealings. There is an ongoing federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged illegal activity.
Buhle divorced Hunter after she discovered he was having an affair with Hallie Biden, the widow of his deceased brother, Beau Biden.
“We’ve seen images of Hunter, the ones that were on his laptop looking disheveled. Was that the husband you knew in moments, at times?” Robach asked.
“Not at all,” Buhle responded. “He was struggling under a massive drug addiction and that’s heartbreaking and painful and that wasn’t who I was married to.”
Robach commented, “You say you weren’t really involved in the finances at all.” Buhle agreed and expressed her regret.
“It’s embarrassing to say that I ceded all financial control to my husband,” Buhle claimed.
“I liked the nice things and I didn’t want to think about the cost at which they were coming. Writing this book really helped me to understand how unfair that was to Hunter and how unhealthy that was for me.”

Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma came up next. Robach provided background, stating, “In the last several years Hunter Biden’s finances have come under intense public scrutiny. Biden announced in December 2020 that federal investigators had been probing his tax affairs and foreign business dealings.”

The host acknowledged that Biden has “not been charged with a crime” though asked Buhle whether she would testify against Biden if requested.
“No. I have buried my head in the sand. I really hope that’s a lesson that women hear, understand your finances, take responsibility for them,” she replied.
Robach then mentioned her 2019 interview with Hunter Biden, stating that she “asked him specifically whether or not he would have been asked to be on that Burisma board if his last name hadn’t been Biden.”
Robach recounted Hunter’s response, stating, “and he said to me, ‘I don’t know, probably not. I don’t think there’s a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn’t Biden.’” She asked Buhle, “Would you agree with that?”
“Not entirely,” she responded, and explained, “trying to get someone to parse out what parts of their life, you know, came from their parents is in my mind not a healthy exercise.”
Posing a more provocative question, Robach asked, “Did he deliberately curry favor or seek profit based on who his father was? That’s the question people ask. In your experience as his wife did you see that?”
Buhle dodged the question, insisting, “I saw someone who loved his father, respected his parents and was proud to be their son.”
