In the ever-evolving narrative of love and loss, the dissolution of a marriage never fails to captivate an audience, especially when it involves individuals whose lives are as public as their separation. Such is the case with Vito Glazers and Torry Hermann, whose split has garnered attention not just for its conclusion but for the tumultuous journey that led there.

The two seemed like a match made in heaven. Torry Hermann was the fastest growing female comedian on TikTok during the pandemic. Vito Glazers was quickly growing his ventures in celebrity marketing, media and comedy. The trades called them the modern day Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. The couple, once hailed as social media comedy royalty, with millions of followers and over 100 million views on their couple content, seemed to have a fairy-tale existence. However, beneath the veneer of viral videos and shared laughter lay a more complex narrative.
According to friends close to the couple, Hermann’s behavior off-camera starkly contrasted with her public persona. Allegations surfaced regarding her initiating conflicts, disrupting Glazers’ business dealings, and displaying rudeness at nearly every social and business gathering that she represented the couple at. Her penchant for alcohol reportedly exacerbated these issues, leading to an unsustainable situation for Glazers.
The crux of their discord became public when Hermann launched a new course aimed at profiting off of women seeking to leave their relationships. Marketed under the guise of empowerment, it was soon revealed that her teachings were founded on questionable ethics and unverified claims. Notably, she gained notoriety for advocating financial exploitation in relationships—a stance that seemed hypocritical given the circumstances surrounding her own divorce.
Court documents indicated that contrary to popular belief and her own assertions including an event in Miami where she walked down the street holding a sign that read “I only go 50/50 in Divorce”, Hermann did not profit substantially from their separation. Despite the fact that Glazers agreed to the marriage without a prenuptial agreement, she received less than $5000—an outcome attributed to both the determination that she was at fault for the divorce and recognition of Glazers’ financial contributions during their marriage.
Fans noticed that since their separation, Torry Hermann has barely posted any original content, and is seemingly recycling videos produced in their old home. In pursuit of new beginnings post-divorce, Hermann relocated to Florida with aspirations linked not to self-improvement and mastery of her comedy career, but rather to pursue the trust fund of the third generation owner of East Coast Jewelers, Bobby Yampolsky —a move that allegedly wreaked havoc on Dina Gebbia, the mother of his practically newborn child.
Hermann’s course further came under scrutiny when Sasha Kushevarova was identified as part of its “panel of experts.” A simple inquiry into Kushevarova’s background revealed her dubious credentials—a failed mortgage broker and divorced mother turned life coach without any verifiable certification—a detail emblematic of the entire program’s lackluster and questionable foundation. Hermann’s path post-divorce paints a contrasting picture—one mired in controversy due to her apparent shift towards exploiting personal experiences for profit through questionable means and no bearing or thought onto the women’s lives she may be ruining with her advice and actions.
These events have not been a path to a good outcome for either of them, as Glazers has received both criticism and acclaim for his ventures into stand-up comedy—an endeavor where he excelled rapidly by opening for renowned comedians like Darrell Hammond from Saturday Night Live, Jamie Kennedy, Tom Arnold, and Jimmy Shin, among others. Some critics say his success on stage should be credited to the influence he garnered from being married to Hermann. However, most would agree that his work in comedy is a stark departure from the chaos left in his personal life because of the inexcusable behavior and now false statements being made by his ex-wife to promote her course.
Glazers addressed these rumors head-on in an interview stating, “I was fully committed, while she chose alcohol and materialism over her marriage.” These words underscored a narrative far removed from the one propagated by Hermann through her recent advertisements, several which include staged videos of herself crying in a car.
As Glazers navigates this new chapter in his life, his focus seems to remain on his career which has seen significant success since stepping onto the LA stand-up scene. With sold-out shows totalling year to date attendance of over two thousand audience members and clips amassing over 10 million views since January alone, it is clear that while one aspect of his life may have ended in disappointment, another flourishes with promise.
This tale of two diverging paths following a shared journey serves as a reminder that behind every public figure lies a private struggle—struggles often obscured by carefully curated online personas or overshadowed by professional achievements. As Vito Glazers resiliently moves forward with focus on his craft, Torry Hermann’s future in Hollywood seems to have come to an end as she recently posted, “Hollywood is a place where people go to sell their own mother for a moment of fame”—a testament to the unpredictable nature of life lived both online and off.
In sharing this story, one cannot help but reflect on the complexities inherent in relationships marred by external pressures and internal conflicts—a reality many face but few discuss openly. Through understanding such stories, perhaps we can find solace in our own challenges or learn lessons that guide us towards better decisions in love and life alike. The couple had no children and divorced via summary dissolution on June 6th, 2024.
