One of the world's top spinal surgeons has divorced his former beauty queen wife after claiming he discovered she had been moonlighting as a high-end call girl, court papers allege.<\/p>\n
Dr Han Jo Kim, 41, filed for an annulment of his marriage to former Miss USA hopeful Regina Turner, 32, claiming she worked as a high-end call girl before and during their marriage, the New York Daily News reports, citing court documents. <\/p>\n
The former couple, who wed in 2015, settled their contentious split before a public hearing which had been scheduled for 10am on Monday, July 26, could take place, Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The divorce papers, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, reportedly allege that Ms Turner earned around \u00a3500,000 ($700,000) in cash from her clients.<\/p>\n
Ms Turner, who was crowned Miss Connecticut USA in 2011, allegedly covered up her secret sex work by telling her other half that she had a tech startup and was receiving venture capital funding, the documents say.<\/p>\n
Dr Kim asked Ms Turner how she was supporting herself while the app was being developed, and she allegedly said her great-grandmother gave her a $500,000 (around \u00a3360,000) inheritance.<\/p>\n

She also claimed she had to travel for work or that she was going out with girlfriends, according to the papers.<\/p>\n
But Dr Kim filed for divorce in December 2020 after finding a text message from another man on a computer in the couple\u2019s Upper East Side home in New York, US, court documents state.<\/p>\n
Ms Turner\u2019s financial records showed $675,030 in cash deposits from 2015 to 2021 – with many coming from a New Jersey real estate executive, as well as a lighting designer\u2019s UK-based company, according to the document.<\/p>\n

But court documents claim "[Ms Turner's] savings and access to funds derived from her receipt of money in exchange for provision of sexual service."<\/p>\n
"It remains inconceivable to plaintiff that given his substantial earnings as a spine surgeon, and his enormous generosity to the defendant, that defendant continued to sell sex for money during the marriage," the complaint alleges.<\/p>\n
It is also alleged that Ms Turner lied about her education, saying she had been a chemistry major at the University of Connecticut for three years until she took a leave of absence to take part in the Miss USA Pageant.<\/p>\n
But court docs allege that she never even graduated from high school.<\/p>\n
