<p>Late last week, it was announced that Kenya Duke had filed for divorce from comedian Gary Owen after nearly 18 years of marriage. Over the weekend, she nor Gary spoke out about the matter as the news continued to spread. However, that all changed on Monday when Kenya hit us with a quick post and delete on her Instagram account.</p>
<p>In a <em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMukVJshVeI/">post</a></em> that has since been deleted, Kenya posted a message that read, &#8220;Dallas TX&#8211;I have your info. I am going to deal with you in a minute, I am a little busy now. You can have him but you can&#8217;t disrespect me and my kids in the process. @GaryOwenComedy, let her know a storm is coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although her message was a little vague, she continued in her caption, &#8220;Tried to be quiet out of respect for my kids but @ClaudiaJordan has me on one this morning. 23 years together, Gary didn&#8217;t have sh*t but a raggedy pickup and good credit, no place to live. Dallas, TX your old a** should know better. Married, not separated, married @GarryOwenComedy, all the energy you spent lying, acting, and creating a fake narrative for these b*tches that want to be me. You could have done it with a veggie burger and a glass of fake filtered water.&#8221;</p>
<p>In her hashtags, she continued to say that white women were not involved, not Claudia, but Claudia&#8217;s friend.</p>

<p>Many fans are still seeking clarification behind Kenya&#8217;s message. Gary still has not spoken out about the matter.</p>
<p>As we <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/gary-owens-wife-kenya-duke-files-for-divorce/">previously</a></em> mentioned, TMZ reported that online records showed that Kenya filed last Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.</p>
