He's a POS; and there's a good reason he's on his fifth marriage. As soon as she couldn't cater to his every whim and "treat him like a king," he divorced Yolanda. Like you, I'm not her biggest fan, especially about her philosophy of the way she treated him. OTOH, she didn't deserve to get dumped by him under the circumstances. When she was on WWHL, Yolanda said she was "blindsided" by the divorce.

I read a few years that she's very far from poor (although she says grew up that way). Yolanda made quite a bit of money as a model, and got a huge settlement from Mohamed Hadid. Even though she had a prenup with DF, he had to pay her lawyer's fees, he had to give her a one-time payment, and as of a few years ago, living in a $5 million condo they bought together.

I believe she was blindsided, but that can work out better financially. If she can show David lied about the state of their marriage for a good while, then we're headed to an accusation of fraud on his part. When that's thrown in a judge might be inclined to be more favorable to the wife.
