Goggins' Ex-Wife's Mother Disputes Actor's Suicide Account
8 Jun
Summary
- Mother claims Goggins' narrative is fake, seeks to correct it.
- She alleges Goggins verbally abused and controlled Knight.
- Discovery of prior marriage and affair devastated Knight, she says.
Peggy Kaun, the mother of Walton Goggins' late first wife, Leanne Knight, has spoken out after over twenty years of silence. She disputes Goggins' public narrative surrounding Knight's 2004 death, calling his accounts disturbing and misleading.
Kaun alleges that Goggins verbally abused and controlled Knight during their marriage, which began in 2001. She claims Knight was devastated to discover Goggins had been previously married and was having an affair.
The mother further stated that Knight had little financial independence and had to request money from Goggins for living expenses. Marriage counseling sessions reportedly concluded with the therapist advising Knight to leave the relationship.
Following Knight's death, Kaun found Goggins' subsequent letter attempting to justify his treatment of her daughter to be pathetic. She notes Goggins paid no divorce settlement and quickly began a new relationship, questioning his claims of seeking peace.
