EXCLUSIVE: White House hopeful Carly Fiorina's claims of motherhood and 'secretary to CEO' rise to the top come under fire as ex-husband ridicules her as 'calculating' and tragic stepdaughter's mom says: 'Lori was MY daughter'

"According to Todd Bartlem, there is nothing surprising in Carly's tendency to place herself at the front and center of every narrative.  'She is pathologically narcissistic and all she cares about is her,' he said. 'Nothing holds together with her.  'I got kind of suspicious of her towards the end of the marriage because she had no old friends. She had nobody that she knew in the past, and I thought, "God that's kind of weird."'"

"Today Bartlem believes the reason lies in Carly's 'modus operandi' of 'dropping people' as soon as they have fulfilled their useful purpose in her life. Certainly it's what he believes happened to him.  'I had no utility and that's what the judgment was,' he said. 'If you aren't useful to her, your time is over. She learned that in business school. I was heartbroken. It was brutal.'  Bartlem claims that when Carly walked out on him she did so without leaving so much as a forwarding address or phone number. A year after the divorce, he claims, she pulled up in the driveway of their former home and calmly said, 'I will never see you again.'"

"True to her word, all contact ceased."

I am certainly not a FioRINO fan.  However, I take all statements from an ex-spouse as a grain of salt.

Having a laser-like focus to reach personal goals will do that to a person.....eliminating distractions or negative energy.

"Divorce papers seen by Daily Mail Online reveal a muddy truth of overlapping divorces.  Frank was married to Patricia Easler with whom he had two daughters, Lori, who died aged 34 in 2009, and Tracy, now 44.  Carly joined AT&T in 1980. According to her later account of the ages of Frank's daughters when she met them, she was introduced to Frank the following year - 1981.  That was the same same year Frank's wife Patricia filed for divorce, in a case that dragged on for two years."

"Carly filed for divorce from Bartlem in April 1983, eight months before Frank's divorce was finalized.  Carly's divorce was finalized in November 1984 but documents filed in May that year show she and Frank were already living together. She gives her address as Frank's – the home he once shared with Patricia and their daughters."

I'm not a big Carly fan, either, but the fact that she's now under media attack makes me wonder if she isn't doing something right. Only the candidates the media love will be spared.

Don't think so Liberty. They see her going after Trump and will support her to do this. If she would be successful somehow with Trump they then would start going after her to get Bushie in there. However by week end enough of the Carly show will be out their and she will start  exiting the stage, IMO only!

She's belongs in a Disneyworld Diaroma.  Animatronic and staged to the end.

Where are the women Trump has abused? Surely, running a beauty pageant, Mr. Trump was not able to keep his hands off all the Miss Universe contestants.

But if you're not the Chosen One, you get your personal life run through the shredder.

Fiorina and Bartlem haven’t had any contact since their divorce was finalized in 1984. He admits that.   So why is the Media or maybe the Trump campaign, I don't know,  using an ex-husband, who has not had any contact with  her  for 31 years as the go-to, tell-all person on her?
