In 2018, Melissa Hogan approached financial guru, Dave Ramsey, and two board members,

with evidence her husband was having adulterous affairs.

At the time, her husband, Chris Hogan, was a star Ramsey personality.

And according to Ramsey, his company has a policy forbidding immorality.

We have a moral code of conduct at our office.

I fire people if they have extramarital affairs.

But instead of firing Chris Hogan, Melissa says Ramsey and the board protected Chris

and displayed hostility towards her and her claims.

In a podcast with her friend Amy Fritz, Melissa described the experience.

It was like being emotionally raped, and I don't use that description lightly.

And it was basically what other false accusations do you have?

Chris Hogan remained at Ramsey's Solutions until resigning in 2021 for, quote,

some things personally that are not in line with Ramsey Solutions, unquote.

But for three years leading up to Hogan's resignation, Ramsey painted Melissa as an angry, bitter spouse.

Before the book tour, started, Melissa, who I've known Chris's wife for many years,

came in unannounced right after I got off the radio show without an appointment and demanded very

angrily to see me and began to accuse Chris of doing all kinds of things. But when announcing Chris's

sabbatical for undisclosed reasons, Ramsey painted Chris as a thoroughbred horse who just doesn't have an off button and needs a break.

Nothing, earth-shattering or evil or something like that, but, you know, he won't kill a thoroughbred.

He won't kill him, just because they don't have an off button. And so he's going to grow

an off button while he's home. He and I have been talking about this and Jeremy and, you know,

some of us that are real close to him and so forth. So he is a good man. And you're not going to see him for the month of February.
