Communicating apparently isn’t Anthony Scaramucci‘s strong suit.
The former White House communications director — who lasted a mere 10 days on the job — and wife Deidre Ball appear on Tuesday’s episode of “Dr. Phil,” and reveal that part of the reason she filed for divorce (prior to their reconciliation) was that he accepted the gig without telling her.
“No, we actually never really talked about it. So, obviously, he was campaigning with him. And then one thing led to another, kind of like spiraled out of control and the next thing we knew, Donald Trump was the president,” Ball said in a clip obtained by the Daily Mail.
Scaramucci said he thought “she’d be OK with it.”
“I was like, ‘OK, this is going to be good for my family,’ and it wasn’t,” Scaramucci said. “It was good for me, maybe. It maybe wasn’t even good for me, frankly, but it was a drive that I had. And if something is glittering at you and you’re going at it like a fly, you may get zapped by it not fully understanding what you’re going towards, and that frankly happened to me.”
Page Six exclusively revealed in July that Ball filed for divorce from The Mooch when she was nine months pregnant. The couple then called off their divorce in November.
“First of all, any relationship is a work in progress, right. And I love him and the whole time we were apart I was like, ‘What the heck happened?'” Ball said. “So, I, I just wanted my family back and I loved him and I wanted my kids to have their dad and we’re working on it and it’s how it should be.”
Perhaps the couple’s appearance on “Dr. Phil” was a precursor of things to come. Page Six exclusively revealed in December that Scaramucci was spotted meeting with Dr. Phil about launching a daytime talk show.
The couple has two sons together, James and Nicholas.
