Comedian Gary Owen says his ex-wife doesn’t support his upcoming interview wherein he discussed their divorce and his estranged relationship along with his children. However, in a recent episode of his YouTube show “Get Some,” he stated that he does it anyway.
During a story on his show, the comedian revealed that he recently met up along with his ex, Kenya Duke, while on a flight from Atlanta to Cincinnati and after he informed her about his upcoming job interview on Shannon Sharpe’s interview platform.
Initially, Owen was sitting on the plane as she continued walking, but she walked right past the row where he was sitting. However, when the 2 noticed one another during baggage claim, she went over to talk to him.
“We talked about a lot of things, and I told her, for example, that I was going to ‘Club Shay Shay,’” he said, before sharing his confidence that they’d divorce.
Owen wanted to assure Duke that he can be careful with the words he uses, adding: “I do not think I’ve ever said bad things about her. I believe people can misinterpret truth or history.
“I am very careful with my words,” he continued. “I can inform you my side of the story. I can tell stories about my divorce and all that, but I’m very careful not to quote, unquote, throw her under the bus, because while you’ve been with someone so long as I’ve been together with her… so long as she’s been with me… we all know every part about myself. All.”
Talking about his divorce, Gary Owen reveals that he goes to Club Shay Shay and says he regrets not having the ability to see his children.

The “Think Like a Man” actor believes that “publicizing” his activities “to the public” wouldn’t profit anyone.
“I think it was different with her when I said good things (she didn’t say) anything,” Owen explained. “But if I said something that could be misconstrued as wrong (which I don’t think is wrong)… I would be vilified for it.”
She claims Duke told him he shouldn’t do the interview, and recalls him telling her, “You must be crazy. The biggest podcast in the world you don’t want me to do?”
According to Owen, “it won’t help (his) relationship with his children.”
“Well, I don’t really have them with me right now,” he exclaimed. “So I’ll say it again that I’m not and I’m not going to attack anyone there. I can only describe my experiences, what I experienced during my divorce. What did I do wrong (and) what did I do right.”
Concluding the story, he said that although he and his ex-partner at the moment are cordial, he regrets not having a greater relationship with their children: Emilio, 33; Augustyn, 23; and Kennedy Owen, 21.
Many people on social media commented on the toughest a part of this share, assuming that there was an undisclosed reason why the youngsters weren’t in his life.
“I would like my mother to explain the divorce to the children so that they do not hate their father” – user X he wrote.
Other he tweeted“Isn’t it crazy how you can pour your children into you. Forgive them for their mistakes, guide them, and be understanding when they screw up and aren’t themselves, only for you to make a mistake and cut you off. Let’s hope they can do it one day.”
Third comment he said“This man’s kids don’t rock to him lol, his kids are adults.”
According to reports, Owen’s children haven’t spoken to him for nearly three years due to the turmoil brought on by the divorce.
They separated in March 2021 after 18 years of marriage and 23 years together. They split up when Duke discovered the “Ride Along” actor was having an affair during their marriage.
Since the divorce, Kenya revealed that she has lost friends and hit “financial rock bottom.” She claims Owen abandoned his financial obligations to her and her children – calling him a “blind killer” – a month after she filed for divorce.

Some may ask, does Kenya really have anything to worry about?
In the podcast space, Club Shay Shay has a popularity for controversy. Known for extracting probably the most controversial opinions and comments from his guests, Sharpe quickly becomes a stirrer.
The former NFL star caused a stir within the comedy world during a gathering with Katt Williams, during which the comedy icon made allegations that Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer are thieves stealing bits of routines from other lesser-known comics.
Actress and comedian Amanda Seales recently appeared on the podcast, revealing her truth about her former “Insecure” boss Issa Rae’s alleged lack of support during clashes with the producer’s white publicist.
So grab some popcorn. Depending on what Owen says, Sharpe could have his ex taken down.
