Man Plans to Divorce Wife Who Faked Terminal Illness

This week, it was announced that a man by the name of Michael O'Connell has plans to file for divorce from his wife.  Prior to the announcement, O'Connell learned that his wife lied about having leukemia and being terminally ill.  O'Connell, a construction worker, said that Jessica Vega faked her illness to get people to lavish the pair with enough money to pay for their wedding and honeymoon.

Despite some beliefs, Michael insists that his wife lied to him and tricked him into believing she was dying.  He said, "I'm disgusted, I'm enraged.  It was all lies."

Family members, friends and complete strangers gave money to the couple and paid for Jessica's gown as well as the couple's honeymoon in Aruba. 

After the truth came out, Vega said that she had received a letter from her doctor which said she was dying, but no one is believing her story.

O'Connell stated, "Now, I want to see the truth come out. If that means her going to jail, then let her pay for what she did."
