If you’ve ever wondered what “divorce privilege” looks like in America, look no further than Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte’s ongoing split from wife Kayla Rae Reid.
Here's the reality that needs to slap Kayla Rae Reid right in the face. Here’s what Reid is demanding, according to court filings:
Primary custody of all three kids
Exclusive use of the family’s $3 million home
Monthly child support payments from Lochte
Monthly alimony for herself
Sole parental decision-making power (meaning: she alone decides schooling, medical care, religion)
Mandatory life insurance on Lochte with her named as the sole beneficiary.
1. She wants primary custody in order to obtain ALL of his assets. She will then hire a "nanny" because she is NOT, and I repeat, NOT, going to raise those children. She'll be out dating, hooking and looking for another sucker. So, she will emotionally, and maybe physically, abuse her own children for her own self-aggrandizement.
2. She wants exclusive use of the $3 MILLION dollar family home--that's out of the question. If both parties can't live in the same lifestyle as they had during the marriage, the house goes on the market, and both parties share the proceeds, and downsize. Or, in the alternative, if she's a porn star, she has significant financial resources to support herself and buy a very nice house.
3. Monthly child support from Lochte and monthly alimony for herself? Here's the BIG ONE!!! If she cannot afford to support her children or herself and wants 'dowry' from Lochte (which wasn't agreed upon from the outset of the marriage), it unequivocally shows she cannot afford to raise the children or herself on her own income and/or resources. She should definitely NOT have sole custody of the children if she cannot support them or herself.
4. Same goes for "sole parental decision-making" power over schooling, medical care, religion. If she cannot support the children or herself in today's modern, enlightened, woke feminist age, then she IS NOT entitled to the children. She needs to get a REAL JOB, not a B-Job!!!!!
5. Mandatory life insurance? For what. If she kills the guy because he wins custody, does she get to keep his insurance? That's a non-starter. Since she's a porn star with lots of opportunity to get sexually transmitted diseases, including sexually transmitted cancers, she should be the party obtaining mandatory life insurance.
Yeah, the demands in that filing are wild — and unfortunately, it’s not the first time we’ve seen this exact playbook. Primary custody, the house, the money, the power, and life insurance? It starts looking less like a custody case and more like a hostile takeover.
What gets lost in all of this is the well-being of the kids. If the goal was truly about the children, you’d expect to see something about shared parenting, stability, cooperation — not total financial and parental control. Instead, it’s like the system encourages a “winner take all” mindset.
I don’t know what’s really going on behind the scenes between Lochte and Reid, but I do know this: if one parent is demanding everything while also making sure the other parent has nothing, that’s not co-parenting — that’s warfare. And the kids lose every time.
This why divorce needs to sever economic attachment. Gender equality, JFK signed the equal pay act in 1963 . Swedish divorce is the only thing that will stop the endless court battles and the destruction of the family. And we need the SSA acts 4D and 4 E repealed .
I’ll take extreme Gold Digger who most likely, premeditatedly had all this planned out in advance in the earlier stages of the marriage and or engagement. Wouldn’t even put it past her when they were dating. For 500 please Alex!

Agreed. It’s out of control in this country. Need to just abolish the whole system and start over.
