In 1993 Shepard Smith divorced his wife of six years, Virginia Donald, his college sweetheart, and moved to Miami. The couple did not have any children. The divorce records from the state of Florida were sealed.
He became a Fox News anchor and made a name for himself when he willfully ran his car into another reporter in an act of road rage in November 2000.
While covering the Bush-Gore situation in Florida, Capitol Police arrested sexist David Shepard Smith, one of hundreds of journalists who were in town to cover the election drama, after police said Smith struck another reporter with his car during an argument over a parking space.
The reporter he ran into was Maureen Walsh of Tallahassee, a freelance journalist for Bay News 9. She said he deliberately hit her and then stomped past her.
“He shouted some profanities at her and basically just struck her, striking her at the knees, which threw her up on the car,” said Sgt. Edwin Maxwell.
By the day’s end, Walsh was released from Tallahassee Memorial Hospital with bruises on her knees and legs, police said. Smith, 36, was charged with aggravated battery with a motor vehicle, a felony, and was released on $10,000 bail from the Leon County Jail.
The attack was buried and Smith suffered no consequences after the victim “settled”.

In 2011, shortly after Giovanni Graziano joined Fox News as a production assistant, the 50+ year old Shepard Smith became romantically involved with his then 24 year old direct subordinate.
It was tabloid fodder at the time.
In 2013, Smith physically assaulted a waitress named Katya Minskova. This was also covered in tabloid publications.
“He got up from his table, grabbed my elbow, and started yelling,” the waitress, a 30-year-old woman named Katya Minskova, told Gawker. Smith continued berating her: “Where the f—k is my drink! Where is my f—king drink! Get my f—king drink!”
Smith announced his homosexuality in 2016. He also came out of the closet with his leftist views. He went on an anti-Trump crusade that continues to this day.
He’s notorious for making mistakes.
He’s quite the news reporter.

The only thing remarkable about Shep is that he still has a job in the public eye and people still listen to him.
He really likes CNN hack Jim Acosta.
