Conservative firebrand Alex Jones is facing a tumultuous personal crisis as his second marriage crumbles amid ongoing legal and financial woes. The Infowars Founder, who has battled the establishment media for decades, now faces yet another fight on the home front as his wife seeks divorce and legal protection.
At a glance:
• Alex Jones filed for divorce from his second wife, Erika Wulff, on September 9, 2024, after seven years of marriage
• Both Jones and Wulff have sought restraining orders against each other in what appears to be a contentious split
• The couple shares one child together from their 2017 marriage
• This personal crisis comes as Jones still faces the aftermath of a $1.5 billion judgment from Sandy Hook families’ lawsuits
• Jones previously lost joint custody of his three children from his first marriage to Kelly Jones in 2017
Divorce Filing and Restraining Orders
Court records show that Alex Jones filed for divorce in Texas on September 9, marking the end of his seven-year marriage to Erika Wulff. The high-profile split has already turned contentious, with both parties seeking legal protection through restraining orders in an escalating domestic drama.
Wulff initially filed for a restraining order on March 12, prompting Jones to respond with his own request for protection. Jones was granted a temporary restraining order against Wulff on September 20, while also filing a motion to seal the court records nine days after his wife’s initial restraining order filing.
Legal and Financial Troubles Mount
The divorce comes during a challenging period for Jones, who was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook victims‘ families in 2022. The judgment followed Jones’ on-air claims about the 2012 school shooting – suggesting it was a false flag operation or hoax – which a court determined caused significant harm to already grieving families.
Jones filed for personal bankruptcy in 2022 following the verdict, seeking protection from creditors as his media empire faced crippling financial pressure. The financial collapse follows years of legal battles that have gradually stripped away at the controversial broadcaster’s resources and business holdings.
History of Marital Problems
This isn’t Jones’ first experience with marital turmoil in the public eye. His previous marriage to Kelly Jones ended with a bitter custody battle over their three children, initially granting Jones primary custody before Kelly won final custody in 2017.
Kelly is an outspoken critic of her ex-husband, claiming he is “truly mentally ill” and a danger to society. The current divorce with Wulff appears to be following a similarly contentious pattern, with both sides seeking court intervention early in the proceedings.
