Binn has been married to Haley Lieberman since December 2003 and they have 3 children together. But the couple separated in 2016 and have been fighting over the details of their divorce ever since. Jason inn has reportedly been living somewhat of a playboy lifestyle since the separation from his wife.
Jason Binn released a statement through his lawyer to The Daily Beast on Wednesday, claiming the allegations are untrue and that he is an “unknowing victim” who “sadly fell prey” to his ex-wife. He said he planned to fight the charges levied against him.
Jason Brinn, said the Daily Beast, tried to blame the whole matter on his estranged wife saying, “This [is] absolutely not true and continues to be part of a sad, bitter divorce.”
“This should serve notice to everybody who can serve notice to anyone when they innocently find themselves at the wrong end of someone’s deep seeded jealousy in or hated for.”
