## Resource

Sarah Robb, wife of former Olympic runner and surgeon Curtis Robb, took the stand in court this week delivering a harrowing account of years of alleged abuse, calling him “evil” and “not even a human being.” She recounted terrifying moments, including a 2023 suffocation attempt with a pillow and frequent verbal abuse where he allegedly laughed at her. Despite being a doctor herself, she said leaving him was nearly impossible due to parenting responsibilities and denied ever provoking fights or losing her temper. During cross-examination, she explained deleting photos as a desperate attempt to believe the abuse would end, insisting verbal threats and in-person cruelty were real and deeply traumatic. The prosecution laid out a pattern of cruelty over their 16-year marriage, while the defense questioned injury severity and timing — but Robb stood firm, saying she delayed speaking out only because it was too painful. The trial continues as Robb, once a GB 800m Olympian and now a surgeon, denies all charges. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
