A woman who took her husband for a house and lifetime alimony payments after a judge ruled that she was disabled and unable to work was caught boasting of her dancing exploits on Facebook and promptly brought to court by her ex-husband.
Dorothy McGurk, the belly-dancing alimony recipient, was fond of showing off to her friends, telling them “My belly-dancing is the reason why I adore myself so much … Even though I dance everyday, it’s not enough. It won’t be enough until I dance for you all, until you feel my euphoria.”
When asked why she didn’t post photos, she wrote “Gotta be careful what goes on line pookies. The ex would love to fry me with that.”
Apparently, that was enough. When asked to explain herself in court, she claimed she was prescribed belly dancing, a claim her doctor denied under oath.
The judge stripped her of her alimony payments, ordered her to pay $5,000 in attorney fees, and told her to get out of the house.
Imagining this scene playing out in court, I think I can feel her ex-husband’s euphoria.
