Porsche racing socialite, 69, at war with tycoon ex-husband says he has forced her to sue her billionaire best friends

A Porsche racing Colorado socialite has claimed that her ex-husband is forcing her to sue his billionaire best friends in the latest fallout from their messy divorce.

Renee Brinkerhoff, 69, accused her ex-husband William Brinkerhoff, 71, of fraud and conspiracy in her latest lawsuit.

He claimed that William transferred $1.1 million from Brinkerhoff Exploration, the oil and gas company he acquired through the spin-off.

But the court filing also required Renee to sue two of the company’s limited partners, Bill MacMillan and Cargill MacMillan III, billionaire heirs to the Cargill agriculture business.

‘The MacMillans are wonderful people and I have nothing but respect and admiration for them. “They were lifelong family friends and it saddens me to be put in this situation,” he said. From Business.

‘Unfortunately, this legal matter is yet another example of Bill (Brinkerhoff) deceiving and manipulating well-intentioned friends to help him carry out self-serving, corrupt and damaging business practices, and again leaves me with no choice but to seek relief from the court.’

It’s the latest court battle for the former couple, best known for owning La Loma, a Mexican restaurant chain in Denver, who were split after their divorce.

Renee also made a name for herself by becoming the first person to race cars on all seven continents, driving a 1965 Porsche, through her non-profit Valkyrie Racing.

She accused her ex-husband, 71-year-old William Brinkerhoff (right), of fraud and conspiracy for allegedly squeezing out $1.1 million from the oil and gas company he bought through a spin-off.

Last year, Renee was rocked by scandalous allegations of child abuse, infidelity and extreme greed.

In March, she sued her ex-husband over allegations he stole company shares after the judge in her divorce case found he used “a series of secret machinations” to freeze her out.

In documents first obtained by the Denver Post, Renee accused William of infidelity and coercive control; she claimed that it was rooted in fundamentalist Christian beliefs about the superiority of men over women.

He claimed that he planned to defraud himself of his ownership interest in the restaurant and secretly transferred it to their young son, Mark.

Mark and his father have categorically denied her claims and are also supported by the couple’s younger daughter, Juliette.

In her affidavit, Juliette claimed that her mother would routinely beat her and her siblings ‘with anything that would hit us – a pipe, a wooden spoon, a belt, anything that would cause pain’ if they didn’t get good grades or messed up in piano lessons.

In her lawsuit, Renee accused William of chronic infidelity and said she disclosed this to a therapist.

But both Juliette and Mark’s wife, Johanna Brinkerhoff, claim their mother flirted with young male sailors she worked with as part of Porsche racing.

The former couple, known as the owners of the Mexican restaurant chain La Loma in Denver, made accusations against each other throughout their bitter separation.

‘While traveling for the races, Renee rarely met William. ‘The man would often reach out to ask how things were going, and she would nonchalantly say she was tired,’ Johanna’s statement says.

‘In reality he was socializing with other men at the races and was often not wearing his wedding ring.’

The Daily Mail has contacted Renee and William’s lawyers, as well as representatives for the Macmillans, for comment.
