Controversial Photo Of LSU Coach Ed Orgeron Leaked, Goes Viral

A controversial photo that appears to show LSU head coach Ed Orgeron has leaked and is getting attention on social media.

The photo shows appears to show Orgeron, 59, in bed with a significantly younger woman. In February, the national champion head coach and his wife, Kelly Orgeron, filed for divorce in East Baton Rouge Parish Family Court after 23 years of marriage, the Advocate reports.

The divorce petition obtained by the Advocate revealed Orgeron and his wife separated on February 24 "and have lived separate and apart without reconciliation since that date." The filing came just over a month after Orgeron led the Tigers to a College Football Playoff National Championship victory over Clemson on January 13, 2020.

In the divorce petition, Ed Orgeron stated he is entitled to have the exclusive use of the former matrimonial domicile in Baton Rouge, but approved a decision to grant Kelly Orgeron use of the family's other home in Mandeville, "until such time as the community property is settled either by conventional agreement or judicial partition," the Advocate reports.

Orgeron took over as LSU's interim head coach in Week 5 of the 2016 season amid the firing of former head coach Les Miles. The Tigers finished the season with a 6-2 (4-2 SEC) record in their final eight games and Orgeron was formally named head coach during the following offseason.

Orgeron improved his overall record during each of his first three seasons as permanent head coach, finishing with a 9-4 (6-2) record in 2017; 10-3 (5-3) in 2018; and 15-0 (8-0) in 2019, which included SEC and national championship victories. However, the Tigers have struggled to a 1-3 start through their first three games in 2020 amid numerous key player and assistant coaching departures.
