Nikki Garcia Opens Up About Her Divorce Settlement
Nikki Garcia: Obviously, TMZ put out, and then everyone else has picked it up, and everyone’s had opinions about Artem and I’s divorce settlement. It’s everywhere. It is mind blowing to me that our government allows all this stuff to be public, but that’s the way the world is, and it’s okay, and we’re here. The divorce has nothing to do with what happened, the incident, any of that. Divorce is divorce. Divorce has to deal with the paper, the contract you signed during marriage, the day of marriage, at the court before marriage, whatever, so our settlement is what everyone saw. Yes, I had to give him $200,000.
Brie Garcia: That’s what happens when you’re the breadwinner.
Nikki Garcia: The breadwinner, and also, there’s a lot of different things that happen to make that number. I got a steal. I’m not going to lie, which is crazy to say and you know, the one thing is, is our judge, we did private mediation, said at the end of it, “This is the first time in all the years I’ve done this, where a woman had to pay a man,” and the judge said, “You should be so damn proud that you built such an empire that someone wants a piece of it. Now, let me tell you the learning lesson. If you ever get married again, promise me you will make them sign a prenup,” and I was like, “I promise.” They go, “Hard lesson to learn today because of the money you’re gonna have to pay out, but be damn proud of yourself,” and it was nice to hear that and I was, even though it hurts because I broke my neck for that money. That money, all that is my hard-earned money.
Nikki Garcia Reveals Her Prenup Regrets
Nikki Garcia: I used to think when someone wanted me to sign a prenup, I took it as, “Do they not love me as much?” and now that I’ve experienced it and now learned and educated myself on it, now I get it. I will never, if I ever marry, which I doubt I will, but if I do, I’m not gonna be the never say nevers, or never, I’ll be the never say never, that yeah. Prenup no matter what. Doesn’t take my love away, it’s just because of what I’ve been through. I’m not gonna go through what I just went through.
Brie Garcia: Now we see what Goldie Hawn was onto.
Nikki Garcia: No. Honestly, it’s really, really hard and you just realize there’s so much control you don’t have. You’re sitting there in mediation and when you’ve built companies and you’ve built an incredible savings and all these things, 401k, all of it, and a person wants a piece of everything and you’re sitting there fighting for your hard work, it’s hard, but I put myself in that position, but I just never thought I’d be in that position.
