Former JetBlue employee Steven Slater, who romanced the world with his cinema-esque departure from employment, was described as “flamboyant” by police and had a boyfriend at home so it comes as a bit of a surprise to learn he has been married to a woman for 15 years.
They were apparently high school sweethearts (or JC Penney sweethearts) who went to the prom together and got hitched in Vegas on May 5, 1991. They only cohabited for a few months, but his wife Cynthia Susanne Niethamer waited fifteen years to file for separation. She cited “fraud” as the reason for the separation, but the divorce still hasn’t gone through!
But his marriage hasn’t stopped Slater from seeking out love. After his immaculate “I quit” rant, beer steal and emergency exit shoot ride he went home and crawled into bed with his boyfriend Kenny Rochelle, which is where he was when police showed up to arrest him.
This blogger knew Slater and Cynthia back in the day and was even the Maid of Honor at their wedding! The internet’s such a small world.
