Katherine Berman: Wife of ESPN"s Chris Berman Killed in Accident
Katherine Berman, the wife of legendary ESPN commentator Chris Berman, has been killed in a car accident near the couple’s home in Connecticut.
According to police reports, Katherine’s car slammed into another vehicle, killing both drivers.
The cause of the crash is still unknown.
Witnesses say Berman’s 2003 Lexus struck the back of a Ford Escape, causing her to veer off the road and into a body of water, where her vehicle promptly overturned.
The other driver, an 87-year-old man named Edward Bertulis, was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died moments later.
The crash reportedly took place around 2:15 pm on Tuesday in the town of Woodbury.
According to TMS Chris Berman was at a Giants vs. Mets game at Citi Field at the time.
He was informed of the crash by NYPD officers.
Chris and Katherine have been married since 1983 and have two children together.
Details are scarce at present, but moments ago, ESPN President John Skipper publicly offered his condolences to the Berman family:
“This is a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend,” Skipper said in a statement.
“Chris is beloved by all his ESPN colleagues and for good reason: he has a huge heart and has given so much to so many over the years. We know how much his family means to him and all we can do at a moment like this is to give him the love and support he will surely need at this hour.”
He concluded:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris, Meredith, Doug and the entire family.”
For decades, Berman has been one of ESPN’s most beloved personalities.
Specializing in football and baseball coverage, Chris Berman’s player nicknames and quirky catchphrases helped set the tone during the network’s early days and have endured him to millions of sports fans.
Condolences began to pour in from all corners of social media within minutes of the news of Katherine’s untimely death.
Our thoughts go out to the Berman family during this incredibly difficult time.

Corinne Olympios: Secretly Engaged While on The Bachelor, Keith Berman Claims!
Was The Bachelor’s infamous seductress Corinne Olympios secretly engaged the entire time she starred on the ABC reality show?
That’s the (crazy) rumor of the day, coming to you courtesy of Keith Berman, a man claiming to be Corinne’s former boyfriend.
Corinne’s former fling has been outspoken since she was ousted after her hometown date, as The Bachelor spoilers accurately predicted.
While there has been recurring talk that Corinne Olympios is engaged to Keith Berman, he says that’s not true … but that she is engaged.
To someone else. Right here, and right now.
According to Berman, he hooked up two years ago with Olympios after meeting her through mutual friends, and they’ve kept in touch.
As recently as last month, he saw the 24-year-old Miami-based business owner in L.A., where she allegedly admitted her secret love life.
“She literally pressed upon the fact to me that they were still together,” he tells Us about Olympios and her longtime on-off boyfriend.
“She said to me, ‘We’re still together. I don’t want anyone to know … you have to keep this secret for me.’ And I said, ‘OK, I’ll do whatever you want."”
“That was what she had told me in person.”
Berman says Olympios wanted to keep her relationship secret because “she didn’t want people to think she was on the show for the wrong reasons.”
“I thought she was on the show for the right reasons,” he says, hilariously employing the show’s go-to cliche, “but I guess I was wrong.”
(Personally, we thought she was there for the fame and the Fantasy Suite sex with Nick, which she amazingly didn’t get, but no matter.)
Moreover, Berman claims that not only his Corinne in a relationship, but that her alleged boyfriend called to yell at him for running his month!
Berman writes of the online altercation that ensued:
“He figured out [that we hung out] two years ago and [more recently than that]; and they’ve apparently been dating/together for 3 years.”
“So you do the math, he thought she cheated on him. Or at least that’s what I thought he was mad about when he was yelling at me on the phone!”
“(Mind you they weren’t supposed to be in contact!)”
Keith then addressed Corinne personally, saying:
“Your Bachelor stint was a complete sham and now the whole town knows it! You HAD A FIANCÉ THE ENTIRE SHOW!
“You FAKED THE WHOLE THING!”
“I’ll spare the internet the details,” he says, despite the fact that he is doing the opposite and proving the Internet many, many details.
“Because there’s no need for another kid to get dragged through the mud and bothered by the press as well.”
“But trust me,” Berman assures us, “I know exactly who her mystery man / real ex boyfriend / fiance is!”
Olympios’ response to all this is simple.
“I’m not engaged,” she says.
“I don’t know [why these rumors are out there]. I’m hearing so many different things. It’s just that people love to talk, I guess.”
“Are you kidding me? This is getting so ridiculous. I’m getting fed up with all these rumors. Especially the rumors about Keith Berman.”
Corinne says that she is not currently dating and could be open to appearing on Bachelor in Paradise, which obviously needs to happen.
In the meantime, Nick Viall will choose a Bachelor winner among Vanessa Grimaldi and Raven Gates on Monday night’s season finale.

Corinne Olympios: Engaged to Keith Berman?!
Corinne Olympios is still the star of The Bachelor, despite having been eliminated by Nick Viall after her hometown date two episodes ago.
Case in point: Her rumored, upcoming marriage to ex Keith Berman. Yes, already. Or so the Internet would have you believe …
As The Bachelor spoilers predicted, the 24-year-old took over the entire season, becoming one of the franchise’s most famous contestants.
Naturally, fans are dying to know what she’s been up to since getting dumped by Nick, and with Corinne, nearly anything seems possible.
She’s cultivated that kind of reputation so far in 2017.
One rumor suggested that she and Nick were still banging on the side, while another suggested she was engaged to ex Keith Berman.
Yes, it’s a busy life in the spotlight post-Bachelor.
Corinne’s response to either could be summed up in three letters: LOL. “No. I’m not engaged. Are you kidding me?” Olympios said.
“This is getting so ridiculous,” Corinne said.
“I’m getting fed up with all these rumors.”
We don’t believe for a second that she’s sick of the attention, but we also don’t believe Corinne actually got engaged to someone already.
Keith, who claims to be one of Corinne’s ex-lovers and even wrote a blog post about their past hookups, said of her a few weeks prior:
“Soooo all you girls are wondering is Corinne actually batshit crazy in real life? Well, I had a little fling with Corinne two years ago.”
And? Do tell, Keith!
“Let me be the first to say she’s got you all eating out of the palms of her hands… You think Corinne doesn’t know exactly what she’s doing?!”
“HA! She’s been playing this game her whole life,” he said, and that part we 100 percent believe. “Now she’s just doing it on national TV.
According to Berman, he met the 24-year-old seductress / business owner a few years ago in her hometown through a mutual friend.
He says they hooked up “a couple times” and have since “stayed in touch,” and claims they spoke as recently as a few weeks ago.
Berman has high praise for Olympios, calling her a “f–king superstar right now” and saying that The Bachelor is “right up her alley.”
“She’s got a great personality for it. I was pumped that she was on it. I knew she would kill it, honestly,” he says of Corinne.
Keith acknowledged the “exaggerated representation” of her shown on ABC, calling her mostly “very normal” but “playing it up for TV.”
“They’re trying to portray her as some stupid girl, but she’s really not that dumb. She knows exactly what she’s doing.”
“She’s a very good-looking girl, and she’s just aggressive. She’s very aggressive, and when you’re that good-looking of a girl?”
“Most guys aren’t going to turn a girl that looks like that down? She knows how to play up her sexiness. Nick is into it, and she knows.”
Corinne responded to this to E! News, telling them:
“Keith Berman and I literally, literally are zero.”
“Never were anything, never anything.”
“He is the last person on the planet that I ever thought would have a media scandal,” Olympios adds, implying that he’s out for attention.
“These rumors with him have got to stop,” she says, and only in the life of Corinne would this not be the consensus crazy rumor of the week.
In addition to the engagement talk, she also takes issue with “the rumor about me seeing Nick post-show and having sex with Nick post-show.”
“That is just stupid… Who comes up with this bulls–t?”
“The last time I saw [Nick] was the day he put me in the limo,” Olympios insists, referring to the unceremonious aftermath of her hometown date.
Again, it’s not that crazy, given that Corinne admits she had sex with Nick while on the show, but we’re guessing this is faux incredulity.
All we can say is that the Internet comes up with a lot of things, and there’s no way she’s actually upset about being kept this relevant.
After all, she’s working on a new clothing line that will include T-shirts and bathing suits, and any publicity has to help with her sales.
Right? Corinne (and Corinne’s nanny) needs to get paid at the end of the day, and Keith was clearly right about one thing if nothing else:
She’s known exactly what she’s doing.
Corinne explained to E!: “I’m totally focused on my clothing line. I’m super focused on getting it. I have July deadlines and I am just hustling.”
Get it, girl. Get it.
