Married Mt. Vernon Woman Discovers Husband Had 2nd Wife

Allyssa Grippo said she thought she knew everything about 31-year-old Karl Nifontoff before she walked down the aisle with him last summer. However, Grippo eventually found out the man of her dreams had another woman in his life.

“I got married and found out my husband was and is still married,” Grippo told CBS 2′s Sean Hennessey.

Grippo said “everything was a lie.” That lie unraveled when she tried to get on her husband’s health insurance but was told she couldn’t be covered because there was already a wife and two children on the plan.

Nifontoff married a good friend in 2006 while dating Grippo, who said her husband told her he married the other woman “so she could become a citizen.”
