Instagram Kurt Rappaport and Sarah Mutch
Sarah Mutch, 34, a model best known for appearing in advertisements for Guess, has been accused of trying to extort her estranged husband, celebrity realtor Kurt Rappaport. She denies the allegation and claims the divorce came about due to a disagreement about whether to have children.
The couple got married in September of 2017. Mutch was reportedly unhappy with the terms of the pre-nuptial agreement and demanded that Rappaport disregard the document. Rappaport alleges that after he refused, Mutch put more than $700,000 in purchases on his credit cards, according to court documents cited by The Blast.
Rappaport, 48, filed for divorce in February of 2019 after just 16 months of marriage. In a civil lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on July 31, 2019, Rappaport alleged that Mutch had threatened to spread malicious rumors about him and his friends unless Rappaport agreed to give her millions of dollars in the divorce, TMZ reported. Again, Mutch denies ever making such threats.
