Her Marriage and Divorce From Alex Jones
Kelly Rebecca Nichols married the controversial media personality Alex Jones, described as America’s leading conspiracy theorist, in 2007. After her marriage, Nichols unofficially changed her name to Violet Jones. The couple had three children, a son and two daughters before Nichols filed a divorce suit against her husband on December 2013. It has been widely reported that Nichols was urged to divorce her husband because of his alleged affair with one of his co-workers, Lee Ann McAdoo. The divorce took place in March 2015.
Alex Jones was ordered by the court to pay Nichols the sum of $3.1 million. He was also ordered to hand over the keys and papers to her villa in Austin, Texas. Jones, however, received full custody of her three children.
Custody Battle
Nichols went back to court to fight the verdict and said that her ex-husband was mentally unstable and also a criminal. She quoted his numerous outbursts in his show, of which he is one, hoping Jennifer Lopes will be raped while threatening Congressman Adam Schiff and actor Alec Baldwin. Nichols repeated that Jones was no role model for their children and that if the court let him have them, they would turn out worse than he is.
In the end, the court awarded joint custody and gave Kelly the authority to decide where her children would live.
