Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama has reportedly ‘walked out’ amid marital tensions, according to a sensational American report. And sources have outrageously alleged to US publication Globe that the former First Lady has even hired a top gun lawyer for a courtroom fight.
‘She’s talking of leaving the marriage and starting up her own show,’ an insider supposedly told the publication.

Sources claim that for months now the Obamas have lived different lives and have supposedly been heading for splitsville for quite some time.
‘They’ve been at each other’s throats since Barack left office. He wants to ease into retirement and just make a few appearances,’ claims Globe‘s anonymous source.
‘She loves rubbing elbows with celebrities and wants to be a serious Hollywood power player.
‘She’s cracking the whip, and he’s fed up spending hours in his study just to get away from her.
‘It’s become clear to a lot of people that they’ve been on diverging paths.’
If the couple do get divorced, the publication claims that Michelle ‘wants a large portion of their $150million fortune.’
‘She wants a generous alimony and child support, their production company, plus the new Martha’s Vineyard home.’
It’s not the first time that Globe has made such inflammatory allegations. In August the publication claimed the pair were coming apart amid ‘screaming matches over money and out of control kids’. Nothing came of those reports.
‘It’s an open secret Michelle wants more of Barack from a family point of view and she’s incredibly disappointed he chooses to spend so much time apart,’ an alleged insider was quoted as telling Globe at the time.
‘For years they did everything together and Michelle paid her dues ten times over while they were in the White House. She supported him at every turn, based on the promise he’d let her run the show and decide where they’d live after they left office,’ they continue.
‘But he hasn’t kept his word at all, so it’s no wonder Michelle’s raging! They’ve had terrible screaming matches.’
The publication also claimed that the pair have distinct parenting styles which leads to some ‘serious bust-ups’.
‘While he’s off seeing the world and making a fortune doing his solo thing, she gets the short straw of laying the law down and parenting the girls,’ said the source adding that Michelle is likely to ‘walk’ if Barack does not get with the program.
The loving couple have yet to respond to Globe‘s outrageous claims, but political insiders have disputed the report – characterising the couple as rock solid and still happily married.
