Rep.Byron Donalds' ex-wife claims his Jamaican accent was 'absolutely' fake

Bisa Hall, former wife of Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), told The Daily Mail that Donalds used a fake Jamaican patois accent when they met at Florida A&M University. It disappeared within days, she added. Hall claimed Donalds explained he adopted the accent to stand out, noting there were many students from New York but few from Jamaica. The couple was married between 1999-2002, in what Hall described as an arrangement for "financial reasons." She said they separated after Donalds impregnated his then-girlfriend, now-wife Erika. Hall also noted they haven't spoken in decades. Donalds did not deny Hall's allegations in his statement to The Daily Mail, saying only that he wished he had "handled that chapter differently." Donalds is a Trump supporter running for Florida Governor in 2026.
