Criss Angel Calls Shaunyl Benson 'Narcissist' as Pair Trade Infidelity Claims on Instagram

Fans criticize the public airing of a long on-off relationship that includes three children.

Overview

  • On Oct. 10, the magician urged followers to unfollow Benson in an Instagram message accusing her of pursuing another man and updated his bio to read "Single Father of 3 Beautiful Kids."
  • Benson posted a video minutes later, acknowledging she messaged a "rockstar" after years without contacting other men and alleging repeated infidelity by Angel.
  • She referenced a 2021 episode she described as "heart shattering," claiming she learned of young women sending highly personal messages to a boss while she was breastfeeding, a claim not independently corroborated.
  • The couple’s history includes a secret 2015 wedding, a 2016 separation, later reconciliation, and a 2023 proposal, with three children together including a son reported cancer-free since January 2022.
  • Coverage notes widespread pushback in comments labeling Angel’s post hypocritical, while representatives for him were not immediately available for comment and no independent verification of the claims has been reported.
