Blake Shelton holds many titles:
Blake Shelton, Country Music Superstar.
Blake Shelton, The Voice Coach.
And to this list, we must now add: Blake Shelton, Flamethrower Extraordinaire.
The beloved singer took Twitter followers by surprise on Wednesday afternoon when he heated up social media via one simple message that was clearly intended to burn his ex-wife to her core.
And here’s why:
Earlier this week, it was confirmed by multiple outlets that Miranda Lambert is dating Evan Felker.
On its own, this development isn’t particularly shocking, considering Felker fronts the band that has been opening for Lambert on tour.
HOWEVER, both Radar Online and Us Weekly report that Lambert very likely broke up Felker’s marriage by sleeping with the musician, as the former website has even obtained the artist’s divorce papers.
They cite Felkner’s “abandonment” of ex-wife Staci Nelson and they were filed in February, right around the time Felkner allegedly got with Lambert.
Just this revelation on its own was newsworthy and noteworthy.
Heck, we wrote an entire article about it.
But now we get to write a follow-up because Shelton has seemingly responded to the rumor that his ex-wife is a homewrecker by Tweeting the following:
Been taking the high road for a long time.. I almost gave up. But I can finally see something on the horizon up there!! Wait!! Could it be?! Yep!! It’s karma!!
Whoa there!
Well, alright then!
Do you want a coat from all the shivering you must be doing now that so much shade has been hurled in your direction, Miranda?
There’s really no way for anyone to interpret Blake’s message as anything other than a statement that Lambert cheated on him.
The stars were married for four years and then split up in 2015 amid chatter that each side was unfaithful.
But Shelton said very little at the time.
He said at every occasion that he and Lambert would always be close and he’d always have a special place in his heart for her and yadda, yadda, yadda.
However, it’s not as though there weren’t rumblings of Lambert’s cheating.
Heck, there was one rumbling that said she cheated on Shelton FIVE times.
The following tabloid cover alleged as much, quoting an insider who said Shelton caught Lambert in the act as one point and was left “heartbroken and furious” by her actions.
If these reports were accurate, it would be hard to blame Shelton for now enjoying the fact that Lambert’s reputation has taken a hit due to her sexual intercourse with a married man.
The country legend, of course, has moved very far on from Lambert.
He’s been happily dating Gwen Stefani for ages, constantly gushing over her on Instagram and considering marrying her, if certain gossip out there is to be believed.
Shelton also once said the following to Billboard about Stefani, who had recently broken up with husband Gavin Rossdale when she became intimate with Blake:
“Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician? You can’t even imagine the similarities in our divorces.”
If you’ll recall, Rossdale supposedly cheated on Stefani for years with the couple’s nanny.
Could being the victims of cheating be what Shelton was talking about when citing the pair’s “similarities.”
You tell us.
(The answer is yes.)
