Can an Affair Destroy a Prenup? | HBO’s War Explained (with Jamie Kleidman)
On this episode of Objection! You’re Fiction, Lee is joined by his wife and colleague, Jamie Kleidman, for the first installment in a new series breaking down HBO’s War, a drama centered on a high-profile divorce, a contested prenup, and two law firms racing to control the narrative.
Lee and Jamie recap the pilot episode and unpack the legal issues at the heart of the show, including whether a staged affair photo could actually matter in a divorce, how infidelity might affect a prenuptial agreement, and why the court of public opinion can be just as important as the courtroom in a celebrity split.
They also dig into the show’s more outrageous legal twists, from dueling divorce filings and potential forum shopping to the wildly unethical decision to plant a lawyer inside the opposing firm. Along the way, Lee and Jamie bring the exact kind of marital commentary, legal skepticism, and chaotic TV analysis that only a married pair of attorneys could provide.
