Summary

Mike Lindell bio - Minnesota Reformer

He burglarized a St. Peter gas station, racked up multiple DUIs, was pinched for not paying a debt to a Las Vegas casino. After his first wife of 20 years left him, he abandoned his two teenage sons in the family home, which was in foreclosure, to move in with his crack-addicted girlfriend.

Mostly unremarked upon in the book, however: Two women’s sworn allegations of physical and verbal abuse in 2007-2008 and 2013.

During their divorce, his second wife accused him in an affidavit of trying to run her over and nearly hitting her 2-year-old granddaughter. And, in a request for an order for protection, an ex-girlfriend accused Lindell of repeatedly beating her.

Lindell denied the allegations in a voicemail, calling the story a “hit job” and saying “There was never anything with either one of my ex-wives so your facts are wrong there.”

He threatened a lawsuit. “So you better make sure you have your facts right before you try and defame something from the past. I’m very open about my past,” he said.

He did not address his ex-girlfriend’s allegation in the voicemail.

He has also denied his ex-wife’s allegations in an affidavit. In his book and police reports, he’s denied the ex-girlfriend’s allegations.

He’s never been prosecuted for or convicted of spousal abuse.
