Cora Schumacher is currently in the spotlight amid her bitter feud with her ex-husband, Ralf Schumacher.
Cora said over the weekend that she felt 'used' and had 'wasted her best years' after the former F1 driver recently announced he was gay.
Ralf is in a relationship with a man called Etienne, having previously been married to Cora for 14 years.
The former F1 star has since hit back at his former flame, accusing her of 'spreading lies' and leaking private WhatsApp messages online that appear to show her expressing support for his new relationship.

Cora's mother has since thrown her support behind her daughter, insisting Ralf always denied rumours about his sexuality during their time together.
As things stand, the row looks set to rumble on.
While the pair's feud plays out in public, Michael Schumacher continues to live a life shrouded in secrecy.
There has been no sighting of the F1 star over the past decade, ever since the tragic skiing accident that changed his life after he suffered serious injuries.

Michael hit his head on a rock and was taken to hospital before being placed in a medically induced coma.
While he was later allowed to return home, it's since been claimed that the F1 icon is a 'case without hope' as he continues to live away from the public eye.
Earlier this year, Cora appeared on the German version of I'm a Celebrity: Get Me out of Here...
According to BILD at the time, the Schumacher family were worried that she'd accidentally leak information about Michael and his current health status.

They managed to secure a 'gentleman's agreement' with broadcaster RTL that they wouldn't probe into Michael's current life.
But there were still fears that Cora would let something slip prior to her departure.
Producers reportedly thought she was 'too talkative' during her stint on TV and were concerned about her potentially saying something on live television.
Cora lasted just a few days, with the 47-year-old forced to pull out due to illness.
