Christie Smythe’s Ex-Husband: Who Is Devin Arcoleo?
Daniel Foster Journalist Christie Smythe dropped the biggest bombshell of 2020 (if that’s even possible) after she revealed that she had struck up a scandalous romance with “Phrama Bro” Martin Shkreli while he served time in prison for securities fraud.
If you’re unfamiliar, Martin Shkreli earned his “Pharma Bro” nickname after he increased the price of a life-saving drug by 5000% in 2015.
Smythe’s romance with Shkreli was shocking in and of itself. After all, she was a crime journalist who was assigned to cover his case while he was on trial for securities fraud, and ended up falling in love with him, despite his terrible reputation and controversial past.
Even more shocking, though, was that Smythe was married when she started covering Shkreli’s case, and her husband at the time, Devin Arcoleo, warned her about getting too involved in his case.
Unfortunately, his gut instinct about Smythe’s personal involvement in Shkreli’s high-profile case proved to be right, and the couple, who married in 2014, divorced just two years after Smythe started covering Shkreli’s case.
