Deanna Pappas Reveals Flight Attendant Salary Amid Divorce
In new court documents, former “Bachelorette” star Deanna Pappas disclosed details about her current financial situation, offering a glimpse into her life almost two decades after finding reality TV fame. This information emerged as part of her ongoing divorce proceedings.
Income and Expenses
Deanna Pappas, 43, filed an income and expense declaration on June 12th as part of her divorce from ex-husband Stephen Stagliano. Currently employed at Solar Air Jets in Los Angeles, where she has worked since 2011, Pappas reported her income for the last month at $12,604, estimating her average monthly income at $13,865.
Pappas also receives $1,500 in spousal support from Stagliano. She declared $36,911 in her bank account and an additional $20,000 in assets. Her monthly expenses are reported at $13,892, which cover rent, healthcare, food, mobile phone, laundry, clothes, and other bills.
Strained Relations
Deanna Pappas, who shares two children with her former husband, has admitted to violating the agreement she made with Stagliano by drinking around their children. She asked the court to reinstate the original custody agreement. “Since the beginning of my recovery, Stephen has denied me regular access to children,” Pappas stated.
In response, Stagliano claimed to be supporting Pappas’s “early recovery efforts,” while also pointing out that her recent negative tests have not yet proven “long-term sobriety.” These former spouses took part in mediation on June 12th but were unable to come to a new agreement.
Additional Information
Recent data reveals that the national median annual income for flight attendants is approximately $68,670 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024). The income of Deanna Pappas, however, reflects her specific employment and any additional compensation she may receive.
The former gaming company executive, Stagliano, stated in his application that he’s currently unemployed and actively searching for work. He also noted that Deanna’s unpredictable work schedule and her alleged drinking habits have made finding employment challenging.
This ongoing legal battle highlights the complexities of post-reality TV life and the financial and emotional strains associated with divorce.
