I guess it’s time for another scandal in the Oklahoma legislature! This time around, it’s in the form of a traditional nasty and bitter divorce.
We’ve learned Oklahoma State Rep Kevin McDugle (R), a former Marine and entrepreneur, has been accused of infidelity and anger management issues in a recent divorce petition we acquired via the Ogle Mole Network.
The petition was filed in Wagoner County Court on June 15th by Tosha McDugle. She’s seeking a divorce on grounds of adultery, incompatibility and, presumably, the shame of being associated with an Oklahoma lawmaker. She’s seeking full custody of the couple’s children, and has strict demands and rules for visitation visits.
The petition is located after the jump:

Before we continue, I’d like to address the question some of you whiners are asking – is this news? I think it is. The divorce petition is public record, and Kevin is an elected official who ran on a family values platform – a platform the divorce petition directly contradicts. Combine that with the rash of controversies that have loomed over the Oklahoma legislature this year, and we feel it’s in the public interest to report the matter.
Additionally, this isn’t the first time McDugle’s marital life has been the focus of controversy. In 2012, Oklahoma Truth Council posted the following video:
Wow. He’s been married three times, and to two women at once? No wonder he’s an Oklahoma lawmaker! He fits right in with everyone else!
Because we’re an official online tabloid now, I emailed Kevin at his house email address for comment, and specifically asked him to address the claims of infidelity and anger management issues. Surprisingly enough, he actually responded a few hours later…
We are filing our rebuttal to the allegations next Friday the 28th. I can tell you we have been separated for a while, I asked for a divorce and sent her a message later asking that she have her attorney contact mine in order to try and have a civil divorce. We did not hear back for a few days and she went and filed the petition you sent – the day after withdrawing over $26,000 from our account. I gave her $9,500 cash for her attorney prior to her making the withdraw. I can also tell you there is “No” reason for anger management as I have never been anything but a good father to those kids and to her own claim which she made as late as May 3rd we did not have but two verbal fights in 15 years.
Hmmn. He didn’t address the adultery accusation, but he did emphatically deny the anger management issues. On that note, he may want to take this video off YouTube before they go to court:
Kevin then sent me another email containing a slew of Facebook messages that Tosha had posted over the years espousing her love for him…
Here are some Facebook post that show she was telling a completely different story even when she knew I was asking for divorce. Once I had my attorney contact her she turned vindictive and starting making claims and allegations that are completely false.
Here’s a couple:
Hmmn. She went from loving and admiring her husband to ruthlessly hating and disliking him. I wonder what would cause that? I should probably go watch a soap opera to find out.
Anyway, I know first hand how contentious divorces can be, how irrationally they make people behave, and how annoying they can be for friends who have to listen to people complain. For the sake of their family, hopefully Kevin and Tosha can work things out peacefully and amicably and move on with their lives.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned………………….
There are 3 constants in life; death, taxes, and people bragging about their spouse on social media trying to convince themselves of something….
The petition states that he makes in excess of $20,000 a month. What exactly does this Legislator do to gross in excess of $240,000 a year, or is being a State Representative that financially rewarding?
That was gonna be my question too. Which oil company needs a drill instructor that bad. The only thing worse than this fake Christian, thrice married and about to be thrice divorced father of the year candidate are the voters that elected him to office. Derplahoma strikes again.
Possible that she’s making up the amount to get an increase in child support. Related, how are these kids not insured?

He’s also a pretty active business owner and entrepreneur according to his bio
MBA Phoenix University……….Really.
University of Phoenix. That took six weeks.
He was probably centerfielder there as well.
Take care of your kids and try to be a man.
His shitty lawyer web company with the highest turnover known to man.
2 fights in 15 years, bullshit.
it’s not a fight if one of you is handcuffed with a ball gag in your mouth and the other one is laughing because you can’t use your “safeword”……………………Just kidding, just kidding…….
It will all be in the new book on the recent OK Political Scandals………
50 shades of a bunch of political freaks getting caught———-which will be out as soon as they can stop adding new chapters.
Hi Big Unit, I hate to tell you this, but my wife and I have been married for almost 17 years now and been together for 19. No actual fights here. When you get down to it, WTF is there to fight about? Really?
Wishing and hoping John Bennet is next.
GD Trump. GD OJ. And now another OK Legislator “family values” hypocrite in the news. Why did I not see this coming today? A trifecta. What is this now, 9? F*cking embarrassing to us all. Sick of these fools.
BTW, what’s become of our favorite Uber customer, Rep. Bryce Marlatt? Has he been charged? Has he placed a downpayment to cover his special election yet?
you can watch his docket on OSCN if you’re curious.
Being through two fairly hateful divorces myself, I am glad you included that last paragraph. Both sides can become very spiteful in the proceedings. Who knows what was going on. But hey, who am I to judge.
Some men never learn.
Just thinking about some of the questions raised in the comment section…
1) If she is making up the monthly income amounts that will come out when documents needed for verification don’t match what is claimed in Petition. Everything will be checked and double-checked, esp as both parties will have attorneys who will look to exploit any weakness from the other side.
2) How can he make $20,000+ a month? Patrick provided links to videos some of which are made by Mr. McDugle himself. In this article, Patrick states he is an “entrepreneur” (ie. someone who starts a business, has an idea for a product/service, someone who has $, access to $, or who has ability to obtain $ for personal gain/growth – through family, friends, retirement/other saved assets, or banking institutions, or the people of Oklahoma). Of course thats my definition of an entrepreneur. Mr. McDugles side of things? He states he is an owner of 2 businesses, “one a multi-million dollar business”. Thats how he makes $20,000+ a month. But lets not forget that there is no childcare expense (which means someone is doing it for free) and I would suspect that being a Marine of 8 yrs with 3 tours overseas, his wife has played a VERY large role in his success. Men/women in the military and in business rarely do it all on their own. They need support from family, friends, sometimes a community. So really, “they” make $20,000+ a month, but its not often that you hear of that credit or acknowledgement being given. In a separate situation, I once knew of a farmer who made $100,000/yr in subsidy payments from the gov’t; he didn’t live in the area of his ranch nor work on his ranch. The rest of us? Working hard in thankless jobs/careers or working hard in jobs/careers that don’t pay enough.
3) How do the children not have health insurance? Its possible that Mr. McDugle’s big money-making businesses don’t want to/found a way out of providing health coverage for his own employees. He may just pay the yearly penalty as its cheaper financially than providing coverage for your family & your business’s employees/their families. The family obviously makes too much for their children to qualify for Soonercare. Maybe he depends on the Lord to keep his children disease-free & well as prayer will take care of anything. That would follow his belief system that God also says its “ok” that he’s done things Jesus wouldn’t approve of (his words not mine). Lastly, don’t forget “those” children, as if they are not his, experienced nothing but a “good father” from his perspective. Health insurance? Apparently not required by God or our country, esp with current climate taken into account.
4) And as far as the Facebook posts? Or the “not but 2 verbal fights in 15 years”? I politely call BS on both of those also. If one went off Facebook posts alone or self-disclosure about a relationship status, esp when dealing with a family experiencing divorce, then what would be the point of having attorney representation or judicial oversight? Facebook and personal rememberance of any and all conflict are not typically respected as “the big picture” when it comes to a family’s (or couple’s) public AND private life. Just my thoughts.
☆I’m just glad someone was aware when/that the children might be helped by a counselor. Now if only the parents and adults would have an equal amount of courage and foresight to do work on themselves. If not, there will most surely be a 4th wife (Come on! Really???) and future unhappy people in unhappy relationships.
We are called to intercede for them. This is what we all need to be doing. They are in trouble. God has managed generations. He is the key for all resolutions.
Let us please be in agreement for Gods perfect will for them and forgiveness. God is love and we are to spur eachother along.
Let us please make effort daily to pray for them on purpose. We have an opportunity and will be blessed through it.
This is what I like to call a “very mild controversy” for an Oklahoma legislator.
Very mild.
Kevin decided to get an apartment and settle in at OKC, last winter.
In April he posted a family photo at Easter, but hasn’t been to his own home since.
In May his wife posted a loving message of appreciation on his 50th birthday, but he never even commented on it. [ https://www.facebook.com/tosha.mcdugle.7/posts/2286153888276625 ]
She eventually got the message that he had left her, when Kevin began openly escorting another woman to social events. (I’ve seen photos, myself).
Tosha’s pain must be immense.
And the 2 foster children he adopted (and then largely disappeared from), are also suffering a 2nd incidence of abandonment from a parent. [ He now refers to them as… ‘those kids’. ]
Absolute lowest on scale of decency to treat children poorly. Hopefully for the children, they find comfort, peace and normalcy as they grow……..and hopefully it’s better without kevin.
For Kevin, we can only hope he gets what he deserves.
I might add that If proven, the adultery offense would result in rep. McDugle’s expulsion from the House, since it is a felony.
The state’s adultery law was last amended in 1999.
§21-871. Adultery defined – Who may institute prosecution.
Adultery is the unlawful voluntary sexual intercourse of a married person with one of the opposite sex; and when the crime is between persons, only one of whom is married, both are guilty of adultery. Prosecution for adultery can be commenced and carried on against either of the parties to the crime only by his or her own husband or wife as the case may be, or by the husband or wife of the other party to the crime: Provided, that any person may make complaint when persons are living together in open and notorious adultery.
R.L.1910, § 2431.
§21-872. Punishment for adultery.
Any person guilty of the crime of adultery shall be guilty of a felony and punished by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary not exceeding five (5) years or by a fine not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), or by both such fine and imprisonment.
R.L. 1910, § 2432. Amended by Laws 1997, c. 133, § 259, eff. July 1, 1999; Laws 1999, 1st Ex.Sess., c. 5, § 163, eff. July 1, 1999.
NOTE: Laws 1998, 1st Ex.Sess., c. 2, § 23 amended the effective date of Laws 1997, c. 133, § 259 from July 1, 1998, to July 1, 1999.
It would take a conviction in a criminal trial to be adjudged guilty. A finding in a divorce case is not good enough. Besides, no one is ever prosecuted for this “crime”.
Glad someone actually knows what is going on and posted the truth. Tosha is a Godly woman and her love for God is apparent to anyone who knows her.
Having been through a divorce with a psycho ex I don’t believe anything any woman puts in a divorce petition after she hires an attorney. Just sayin…
^^^amen to that.
“I gave her $9,500 cash”
Structuring, not wanting to report, or he just spent the first $500?
