George Zimmerman was today questioned by police after allegedly threatening his estranged wife with a handgun in an altercation sparked by claims he has been having an affair, MailOnline can reveal.
Friend and key defense witness John Donnelly told MailOnline: 'George has been having an affair with his ex-fiancee. Shellie believes it flared back up after the acquittal.'
Zimmerman's only publicly known former fiancee was beautician Veronica Zuazo, who herself filed a domestic violence complaint against him in a messy series of counter complaints that led to their split.
According to a close source she had issued him with the ultimatum: 'Don't you ever bring that woman into my house.'
But two or three weeks ago, Shellie and her father arrived at the Lake Mary house to find Zimmerman and his ex-fiancee pulling into the driveway.
'That is what prompted her to file for divorce,' Mr Donnelly said.

Donnellys wife, Leanne Benjamin, said shes relieved about Mondays incident because she believes Zimmerman is a ticking time bomb.
Im relieved. He was a powder keg waiting to blow
I feel relieved now that he
might get some quiet time and some psychological help, she said.
If he had run into a stranger and got into an altercation he might have hurt someone or ended up hurt or dead himself.

(7,720 posts)but Mrs. Zimmerman apparently moved out months ago. She and her father returned to get more of her stuff the other day and some sort of argument ensued.

(43,182 posts)Not the fact that your husband turned your life into a living hell and you into a pariah?
Not that you literally had to go to jail for your husband's lies? And your husband didn't even bother to show up for your court hearing?
Not the fact the night you leave the house because of an argument your husband ends up shooting a kid?
Kind of weird that was the last straw. If I were her, I'd be glad he's run off with another woman.

Very often, the women who are attracted to violent and antisocial personality types have very sad histories. They typically have a rather predictable set of personality traits. They often come from backgrounds in which they had been sexually, emotionally, and/or physically abused, usually beginning at an early age. They will put up with a great deal of abuse from their partners. They are unstable and seem to have poorly-formed personalities. They often have little concept of truth or of truth-telling. They cycle between idealizing their partners and being disgusted and angry with them. They may be prone to suicidal gestures or "parasuicidal" self-injury. They typically have a profound fear of abandonment, and if they feel that they have been abandoned, they may turn on the one who abandoned them and seek revenge with all the tools at their disposal.

"I think she realized that maybe he wasn't going for a gun," said NeJame. "With that said, I don't think that forgives the situation, the irresponsible situation that he potentially placed himself into. He's got an estranged wife. He goes to the property. [She thinks he may have] a gun with him -- and we already know with that one incident he had a gun, and it became emotionally charged. And according to the report, there was a woman in the car with him, and that's just throwing fuel to the fire."
