The wife of a popular blogger and talk show host for Barstool Sports says Friday her husband has been cheating on her with another woman since she’s been eight months pregnant with their second child.
Caitlin Nugent Clancy wrote a post on her Instagram account in which she accused her husband, Kevin Clancy, of cheating on her.
‘Last night after I put my 2-year-old daughter and 6-month-old son to bed, I caught my husband sending messages to his mistress who he’s apparently been seeing since I was 8 months pregnant,’ she wrote.
‘Days before I gave birth, he was at a hotel in Manhattan with her.

‘Days after I gave birth, he was then, too. The [rug’s] been pulled out from underneath me.
‘The kind, funny, relatable family man I thought I married is clearly lower, more insecure and more disrespectful than I ever imagined …. he’s already trashed her and dropped her like a hot potato behind her back so she’ll receive the same treatment I did.
‘I never asked for my life and family to be so public, but since I know this is going to come out anyway, I wanted to set the truth [straight] before the public humiliation begins.’
In response, Kevin Clancy posted a statement of his own on Twitter, saying: ‘My wife and I are going through a hard time, I’m choosing to handle it privately for the sake of my kids.’

The couple has been married since 2014.
Barstool Sports is a satirical sports and men’s lifestyle blog.
Its founder, Dave Portnoy, recorded a statement and posted it to Twitter on Friday.
‘I didn’t want Barstool to be silent here,’ Portnoy said of ‘KFC Gate’, a reference to Kevin Clancy’s initials.
‘I’ll say what everybody else is thinking – KFC comes across as a scumbag here,’ Portnoy said.
‘But, again, we don’t know anything.’
‘It stinks,’ he said. ‘It’s a really bad situation that we wish didn’t happen.’
Portnoy said he didn’t think Clancy would ‘run’ from this and he expected that he will address it in the future.
Barstool Sports rose from an obscure newsletter handed out on the Boston light rail trains to a popular online destination for fans, primarily men.
But it has attracted criticism in recent months, particularly after its partnership with ESPN abruptly ended last October.
The Disney-owned cable sports giant pulled the plug on its plans to televise a Barstool Sports talk show.
The decision came after a backlash over the partnership, particularly from inside ESPN.
am Ponder, a host for ESPN, ‘welcomed’ Barstool Sports by linking an article in which she was denounced by a blogger on the site as a ‘slut’ who has a job ‘where the #1 requirement is to turn men on.’
