Teckenbrock, 29, has accused Cormier, 37, of being abusive and a member of the Church of Scientology. In response, Cormier has denied these claims and asserted that he has full custody of their children, bringing up Teckenbrock’s past fraud charges and saying she "barely knows her kids."
In a nine-minute follow-up video, Teckenbrock countered Cormier's accusations. She alleged that Cormier has been harassing her online since their separation by creating various social media accounts and websites. “Andrew has created TikToks, websites, essentially everything since I left him,” she stated. She suggested that his behavior might be influenced by Scientology, adding, “Getting out of a Scientologist mindset in a relationship is not a good thing or an easy thing.”
Teckenbrock described their marriage as abusive and claimed that Cormier threatened to ruin her life unless she deleted her social media accounts. According to her, she complied in hopes of protecting herself and her children. "I deleted my accounts, and I’ve been mentally not okay since then," she admitted.
Despite Cormier's claims, Teckenbrock insisted that she is actively involved in her children’s lives. “I don’t not see my children. I’m the one who hosts their birthday parties. I’m the one who puts them to bed. I’m the one who does everything until he pulls them away,” she explained.
She also clarified that the custody arrangement, which gives Cormier primary custody, was signed under pressure. When she left him, she had "no resources, no money," while Cormier had a stable job as a doctor. He allegedly promised that nothing would change in terms of her visitation with the children if she signed the papers, and he would leave her alone.
In her emotional video, Teckenbrock claimed she signed the custody papers while in a "mentally bad state." She emphasized that Cormier has never been abusive to their children and would "never hurt them."
Teckenbrock also mentioned that other women allegedly have restraining orders against Cormier. "That is in the nature of being a Scientologist. That is what they do,” she said, accusing him of trying to destroy her life.
Teckenbrock admitted she has made mistakes, including an arrest for fraud, but denied ever putting her children in danger. “Since I became a mother at 16, I’ve devoted my life to being a mom,” she stated. She acknowledged going out with friends after her divorce but said it was because she felt trapped in an abusive marriage.
She claimed Cormier disliked the positive attention she received from her viral video and retaliated by exposing her past and their custody arrangement. “I cried on my birthday because he wouldn’t allow my daughters to come over,” she said.
Teckenbrock stated she tried for three years not to expose Cormier publicly, believing it was the right thing to do for her children. However, she decided to speak out after receiving advice from family and friends.
In response to the backlash and threats she has received, Teckenbrock posted a cease and desist letter from her attorneys, filed in Florida, against Cormier.
Cormier, for his part, denied being a Scientologist and claimed he did not create the websites or social media accounts Teckenbrock mentioned. He announced plans to post "straight facts" to counter her allegations in the coming days.
This ongoing public dispute highlights the difficulties faced by separated couples, especially when issues of abuse and custody are involved. Teckenbrock’s viral video, initially a source of sympathy, has now become a focal point in a much larger conflict between the former spouses.
