All Elite Wrestling producer and former ROH wrestler BJ Whitmer announced he and former ROH star Kelly Klein will be getting a divorce.
Whitmer issued a statement on Twitter Thursday morning.
I have a personal statement to make. My wife Kelly Klein and I are divorcing. This is happening because Kelly breached the trust in our relationship by stepping outside our marriage.
This is the only thing I have to say about the matter. This has been a very difficult time for myself and my family. News of our split was already spreading around the business and I wanted to make a statement before it made it to social media or wrestling media.
Thank you,
BJ
Whitmer left ROH following issues stemming from him guest coaching at WWE’s Performance Center.
Kelly Klein was let go from ROH in November. Whitmer alleges Klein was fired via e-mail by ROH COO Joe Koff.
Whitmer stated Klein was suffering from post-concussion syndrome, and her firing occured while she is still injured.
Kelly Klein has yet to comment on her divorce from Whitmer.
