Dan Price (full name Daniel Joseph Price), the infamous Seattle CEO who announced in 2015 that he would take a significant pay cut to help cover the cost of large raises for his employees, has resigned (August 17, 2022), one day before news reports surfaced alleging he had mistreated women. Dan has been accused of multiple physical and sexual assaults over the years, and one of his accusers is none other than his ex-wife, Kristie Colón. Kristie has repeatedly tried to inform people about Dan’s behavior.
Now, let’s find out who Kristie Colón is in the article called ‘Kristie Colón Biography’.
Meet Kristie Colón, Dan Price’s Ex-Wife
Dan Price was previously married to Kristie Colón.
They reportedly started dating in high school in 2000, got married in 2005 while still in college, and stayed married for about seven years before splitting in February 2012. It’s also said that Kristie’s divorce in 2011 was amicable. It seems that their equation really changed after Kristie shared in a TEDx talk that she had been abused by an unnamed ex-husband she was married to.
A Bloomberg report recounted Colon’s October 2015 TEDx talk, in which she described being beaten and waterboarded by her ex-husband, but did not name Price. Price told Bloomberg that those events “never happened.”
About seven years ago, when Dan stunned his more than 100 workers by telling them he would cut his roughly $1 million salary to $70,000, allegations surfaced that Dan had abused his ex-wife (Kristie). Media outlets at the time recounted an unpublished October 2015 TEDx talk Kristie gave at the University of Kentucky, in which she described being beaten and waterboarded by her ex. Kristie would not name Dan, but she also said at the time that she had been married once. As for Dan, he later said that these events never happened.
Not to be left out, the year she read aloud her diary entries about violence at TEDx, she also announced that she had a miscarriage that same year.
Speaking about her reaction to Dan’s recent resignation “to focus full-time on fighting the false allegations” against him, Kristie retweeted a New York Times article about Dan Price’s resignation and his once-reputable reputation, adding her own words: “No one owes the world their story of pain. Surviving is enough. I know what it costs, to tell the truth over and over again. Thank you to those who have spoken their truth here.”
Her post on August 19, 2022 received many comments praising her strength and courage.
Kristie Colón’s current relationship status
A few months after Dan Price’s big announcement in April 2015, Kristie Colón changed her name from her maiden name Kristie Lewellyn to her current name Kristie Colón. However, it was never known whether this ‘Colón’ surname was taken by her new husband. In fact, it was also unclear whether she ever married again (after Dan).
Uncertainty about Kristie’s relationship status continues into 2022.
