Inside scandalous infidelity claims that shook Marjorie Taylor Greene's marriage to Perry Greene
WASHINGTON, DC: Marjorie Taylor Greene gained national attention through her ultra-conservative stances. Yet, her personal life has also attracted significant scrutiny, particularly regarding her marital fidelity and subsequent relationships.
Here, we delve into the controversies surrounding her personal life, examining the various incidents that have shaped her public image thus far.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's marital issues
Marjorie Taylor Greene's marriage to Perry Greene was marked by public and private challenges. The couple's divorce proceedings, initiated in late September 2022, were quickly followed by Marjorie's visible relationship with Brian Glenn, a right wing journalist.
The timing of their romance raised eyebrows, especially since Marjorie and Perry's divorce wasn't finalized until late December 2022. Initially, Glenn denied any romantic involvement with Marjorie. However, as the months passed, the couple went public with their relationship.
The early stages of their public affair were not without controversy. Marjorie and Perry's divorce, though finalized in December 2022, followed a turbulent period in their marriage. More than a decade before their separation, rumors of infidelity emerged, suggesting that Marjorie had engaged in multiple extramarital affairs.
Despite the rumors, which first surfaced in 2021, Perry had nothing but positive things to say about the mother of his three children. In a statement to The Independent, he remarked, "Marjorie has been my best friend for the last 29 years and she has been an amazing mom!"
This contrasted with the speculation surrounding the circumstances of their separation. Whether Glenn played any role in the divorce remains unclear, though Marjorie later admitted to Semafor that her relationship with Glenn had begun in 2022.
Past affairs
In February 2021, the Daily Mail reported that Marjorie Taylor Greene had an affair with Craig Ivey, described as a "polyamorous tantric sex guru." This affair was reportedly followed by another with Justin Tway, a manager at the CrossFit gym where Marjorie was employed.
While Ivey declined to comment, Tway expressed his disinterest in discussing the matter, criticizing Marjorie indirectly. "I have no interest in talking about anything to do with that woman. Everything with her comes to no good," he said.
Marjorie vehemently denied these allegations, dismissing them as "ridiculous tabloid garbage spread by an avowed Communist." The reference was directed at Jim Chambers, her former boss, who had publicly criticized Marjorie for her perceived hypocrisy.
"I don't even judge that, until you say the kind of s**t she does and claim the Jesus about it," he wrote on social media, per The New Yorker.
Despite Marjorie’s denials, those close to her revealed text messages apparently confirming her involvement in these affairs. "Everyone who moved in her circles knew about both the affairs," Chambers told the Daily Mail.
According to sources, one of the men involved shared a message in which Marjorie acknowledged the affair. "She's not the pro-family, pro-Christian, strong-business woman she touts herself to be," he reportedly said.
The revelations, combined with her later decision to file for divorce—only to withdraw it two months later—complicated her narrative, per Nicki Swift.
New relationship and continued scrutiny
Marjorie Taylor Greene's personal life continued to make headlines even after her marriage to Perry was over. Her relationship with Brian Glenn drew attention for reasons beyond their initial romance.
In May 2023, a video of Glenn dressed in drag resurfaced, sparking controversy given both Greene and Glenn's vocal opposition to drag performances and gender issues.
In the video, Glenn is seen discussing the comfort of wearing pantyhose, a statement that directly contradicted his and Greene's public stance against drag culture. "I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good actually," Glenn says.

The reported incident was particularly notable given Greene's previous pledge to introduce legislation to ban children from attending drag shows. "I'm introducing a bill to make it illegal for children to be exposed to Drag Queen performances," she posted on X in June 2022.

The timing of the video, coming shortly after Glenn had mocked WNBA star Brittney Griner on social media, only intensified the scrutiny. "Good Morning to all the men this morning except to #BrittneyGriner (He/Him)," Glenn wrote. "It shouldn't surprise anyone that a man is now the face of a women's professional basketball league."

Despite the backlash, Greene's response to the drag video was dismissive. She characterized the criticism as an attempt to attack Glenn and laughed off the incident. Greene explained that Glenn's drag appearance was part of his work covering a theatrical production in Dallas, Texas, and derided the controversy as a misguided attack by her critics.
"And the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack," she wrote, adding, "Brian loves the throwback and is reposting. The left is so stupid."
I’m literally lol’ing. @brianglenntv dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack.
