Supreme Court Justices’ Wives & Their Scandals

Speaking with CNN, Emily Baden — the neighbor who reportedly had a confrontation with Samuel A. Alito, Jr.‘s wife, Martha-Ann Alito — spoke up about the reports about the dispute and denied that she prompted the incidents.

Samuel initially said his wife installed an upside-down U.S. flag outside their Virginia home after a verbal dispute between Martha-Ann and Emily. However, the neighbor claimed the confrontation only happened one month after the flag was displayed on January 17, 2021.

According to Emily, Martha-Ann called her and her husband a fascist during the February argument.

CNN’s phone records seemingly confirmed Emily’s account, as her then-boyfriend and now-husband called the police on February 15, 2021, to report Martha-Ann’s “unprompted harassment”.

Sailors originally displayed the upside-down flag as a symbol of distress. Recently, it became associated with the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” movement.

Following the issue, newly unearthed recordings of Samuel and his wife speaking about the flag controversy and abortion were leaked. Liberal activist and documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor posted the audio on X, and it was later captured by Rolling Stone.

In Windsor’s recording, Martha-Ann described her critics as “feminazis” before threatening to file lawsuits.

Martha-Ann said: “There’s a five-year defamation statute of limitation. Don’t get angry. Get even.”
