*On Friday’s episode of “The Real,” co-host Jeannie Mai, 40, opened up about having to pay alimony to ex-hubby Freddy Harteis, and when his new girlfriend caught wind of it, homegirl shut it down.
“I was married to someone who had more money than me, but because I was the stronger earner and we lived in California — a shocking thing slapped me in the face when we divorced and I had to end up paying him my earnings,” Mai explained before noting that the experience taught her a lesson on “looking out for myself.”
Watch Mai explain it via the clip above.
Once video of the segment made the rounds across social media, Mai‘s ex-husband’s new girlfriend responded by slamming the media personality and accusing of her seeking “more attention.”
“Looking out for YOURSELF is why you’re STILL miserable,” Linsey Toole wrote in the comment section of the post, PEOPLE reports.

“Your complete focus on YOURSELF is why you’re DIVORCED. YOURSELF being the most important thing to you in the entire world is why you keep making up LIES for MORE attention.”
“Ain’t nobody talking about YOU. Because we don’t care! Stop trying to tear someone down who has done absolutely NOTHING to you,” Toole continued. “Never one time has Freddy brought up your name or drug it through the mud where it belongs.”
“Every week you got some new dramatic story so that you can more pity and more attention. How many more lies are you going to make up before you are satisfied? Freddy and I are both working our butts off to have what we have. Not because you gave anything. Freddy walked away from 1 MILLION dollars so he could finally give our family peace. And God has blessed him fruitfully in doing so! Let it go. Stop trying to make up things for people to feel sorry for you.”
“You made Freddy signed [sic] to keep his mouth closed. I didn’t sign for this very reason,” Toole wrote. She then threatened to expose Mai further if she continued to talk down on Harteis.
“I knew you would come back at his throat again. I will speak the truth Jeanie [sic]. I’m pre-warning that I will tell what really happened if you continue to publicly lie and humiliate Freddy!”
Toole also shared a clip from the episode on her Instagram Stories, dubbing it “fake news.”
