For about a month, the woman who will be the next governor-general fought tooth and nail in a Maryland court to seal her divorce proceedings. Flynn was the victim of the alleged assault, as the divorce files reveal. Ms. Payette was arrested for assault in Maryland while the parties were living in Maryland. After an eight-month investigation, the Star reported, detectives with the St. Mary’s County Sheriff concluded that Potts had stepped into the path of Payette’s car against a red light. Then, this past Monday, Payette abruptly abandoned her appeal, meaning the files would be back in public view.
