In the midst of divorce proceedings against husband George Zimmerman, Shellie Zimmerman said she has doubts about what really happened in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin last year, she told Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview.
"I'm conflicted on that,'' Shellie told Lauer on TODAY Thursday. "I believe the evidence, but this revelation in my life has really helped me take the blinders off and start to see things differently."
Lauer pressed further, asking, "So you now doubt his innocence, at least the fact that he was acting in self-defense on the night that Trayvon Martin was killed?"
"I think anyone would doubt that innocence because I don't know the person that I've been married to," Shellie responded. "I have doubts, but I also believe the evidence."
Despite these doubts, Shellie vehemently denies that George profiled the teen.
"He did not profile Trayvon Martin," she said.
The "revelation" Shellie referenced came after a domestic dispute between the Zimmermans.
On Sept. 9, authorities in Lake Mary, Fla., were summoned to the house the couple once rented from Shellies father, after she called 911 to report George was threatening her with a gun, according to police reports, which provide a conflicting picture of the sequence of events. Neither side filed a complaint over the incident, and Shellie said that she now wishes she had pressed charges.
"In hindsight I should've, and I really regret that, but I'm on probation and the officers made it very clear that day if I pressed charges we were all going to go to jail and I would've been the only one to stay there,'' she told Lauer.
TODAY reached out to George Zimmerman's representatives, and they said they were not interested in commenting.

Wow. What a piece of work. He should WANT to be divorced from her.
there was AN EYEWITNESS who actually saw the fight between trayvon and GZ
How can people be so stupid???
Now, why do you suppose the officers would have said that?
She gets pissed at her husband so with no evidence to support it she decides to do this. Nice lady /s
Well, let’s see. The police say the gun was never drawn and that she made false allegations on the 911 call. So, hey, Shellie, I have doubts you are telling the truth about anything and your 15 are up.
Her offered testimony in support of the lawsuit against NBC will be inadmissible as it is irrelevant to the case.
If Lauer had been asking her in court, he would have been slapped down for leading the witness. Disgusting.
From her lying about the money during the trial.
You and I know that, but the media will give her a stage to slam George anytime she wants.
All people are nuts to some degree when dealing with divorce.
I think her Slim For Life meal plan expired.
WHO is paying this dolt to keep talking?
Finally, it looks like Zimmerman is keeping a low profile. I hope that he’s safe, he just needs to stop running in front of cameras, running in front of people who want him dead.
She said she already lost 40lbs. She must’ve made Rosie O’Dumba** look anorexic.
It's a civil case, not a criminal one. Rules of evidence are different. I think they could threaten to get her on the stand and make Zimmerman worry about what she would say. At the very least it could force a lower settlement. Which she'd get a big chunk of anyway.
Definitely worth repeating...
“Shes a nasty vindictive beotch going through a divorce shes making as messy as possible. I wouldnt believe a word she says.”
A bitter soon-to-be-ex is a very rich font of gossip. She’ll have considerably more than 15 minutes, considering this is Emanuel Goldstein we’re talking about.
From the article:
“(I’m) just focusing on myself,’’ she said.
Sums it up. I read the article and none of it makes any sense.
But you just do not understand. George Zimmerman will be, must be, tried and retried over and over in the “court of public opinion” until his “guilt” is undeniable and absolute.
That Matt Lauer has been massaging and teasing Mrs. Zimmerman is only one part of continuing to build on that narrative. As soon as the leftist media can get a full assertion from her, she will be forgotten and they will proceed in trying to get George hounded into total obscurity, if not persecuted into some compromising position from where he cannot walk it back.
For one year. She pled Guilty to Perjury. It was in all the papers....
