What is a burner phone? Most criminals use this gadget to avoid being tracked by authorities and later destroy the evidence. It is a cheap, prepaid mobile phone that someone can discard or destroy when they no longer need it.
Ben Zobrist married Julianna, a Christian electronic pop singer, in 2005, and they have three children. The couple met Byron 16 years ago at the Community Bible Church. He was a pastor at that time and offered them marital counselling.
Zobrist claimed that Byron betrayed his confidence by using his counsellor/spiritual mentor position to have an affair with Julianna. The two became close friends in 2018 and began their romance in 2019.
Ben could not play baseball in the summer of 2019 because of his marital problems. Also, text messages between him and Yawn showed the pastor comforting him over the same.

The player lost almost an $8 million income after skipping games for four months. However, he did not learn about his wife's affair till 2020. The retired player dropped charges against the pastor on Thursday, 13th August 2021 but can still refile the lawsuit next year.
Julianna admitted to cheating, and their divorce is underway in a Tennessee court. Ben's attorney, Helen S Roger, stated that her claims were absurd. She claimed Ben failed to preserve marital assets by taking time off work to handle their marital issues.
Moreover, Julianna should not have expected him to focus on his job after causing him emotional distress. She even coaxed Ben to return to work. The player's estranged wife demanded $4 million compensation funds from him because of the four-month work leave.
Zobrist retired in March 2020 after playing 14 seasons in Major League Baseball. He wants a 60-40 split of assets because Julianna overspent their estate by at least $691,602.86. In her defence, Julianna claims she endured his depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

Zobrist had also claimed that Byron fraudulently collected $7,000 from his NGO for athletes. He was on a $3,500 monthly salary while serving as Patriot Forward's executive director.
However, Byron cashed at least two months' salary checks even after being laid off in March 2019. Also, Ben paid him $15,000 for a pastoral trip, and Julianna threw him a $30,000 retirement party in December 2018. He accused them of dancing provocatively at the event.
The pastor's lawyer dismissed the fraud accusations. Instead, he stated that Ben delayed filing his claim and was using it to blame Byron for his marital problems. Ben Zobrist's net worth is around $55 million, while Julianna's is more than $1 million.
