Comedian Gary Owen’s wife wasn’t laughing after her ex opened up about their divorce on a recent podcast.
Kenya Duke lashed out at Gary, claiming he doesn’t “respect her boundaries.”
Gary and Kenya were married for nearly 20 years before the couple went through a very public and drawn-out divorce after he cheated on her.
Now it seems time hasn’t healed all wounds, as the 49-year-old funnyman turned serious while appearing on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast.
Gary discussed his divorce with the former NFL star and revealed that Didn’t see his now adult children since their controversial split – and I can’t understand why.
“I take the blame,” he said on the podcast, addressing his current situation with son Austin and daughter Kennedy. “I didn’t make sure my relationship with them was so strong that no matter what anyone told them, they could say, ‘Nah, my dad is good.’

“I just don’t know where things got so bad that I’m just the worst human being on the planet.”
He continued, “At this point, I don’t know how to reconcile the relationship. I’m just letting them know that I love them, I’m proud of them and whenever they call, I’m there.”
KENYA BACK BACK
But Kenya apparently disagrees with that assessment and posted her answer On Instagram.
“It’s been 3 years,” she wrote, addressing Gary directly. “I’m always kind and nice to you. I purposely never made it awkward. I never bothered you.
“I gave you my suggestions about the situation, but you don’t respect your boundaries. That’s why you discussed it again on social media.
“I don’t know what else to do to help you. Always wishing you all the best.”
Alongside this, she shared an image of text that read: “My growth is no longer feeling the need to address lies.
“The grace and kindness I have shown you is the space to tell lies and false narratives in search of sympathy and attention, without correction.
“You’re a great storyteller…sometimes I get stuck in your versions.”
At this point, I don’t know how to reconcile the relationship.”
