Since their split the Today show star went on to wed Yarbrough, who is the co-founder of shoe line, Mara & Mine.
In an exclusive interview with Mosman Daily, 48-year-old Cass says the labels given to Jasmine are insulting.
“People refer to her as ‘the new wife’. Or, ‘the second wife’. It’s like, are you joking? That’s his wife. Show some respect,” she told the newspaper.
“Because, when they say she’s the ‘new wife’, or the ‘second wife’, she then has to think, well, [Cass] was the first wife. Well, that’s unkind.”
“And, what do you mean, first wife is more important than second? No, she’s not.”
Meanwhile Jasmine has appeared to confirm she is pregnant, throwing a baby shower party in New York City.
The 34-year-old, was joined by a host of famous girlfriends, including Montana Cox and writer-actress Maureen Sebastian.
Members of the group uploaded pictures of the event to Instagram, with one post captioned ‘I love baby showers’ and a second showing a visibly rounder Jasmine cradling her tum, illustrated with a baby emoji.
