California socialite who tried to hire hitman on husband kills herself: report

First of all, I think it's wrong to hire someone to kill your spouse. Not only that, it's also wrong to do it yourself (but less wrong). Come to think of it you probably shouldn't kill anyone (Exodus 20:13).

Also, if you are unsuccessful trying to kill someone, you should, I repeat should not kill yourself. I know it's understandable to be depressed, but that's no reason to give up. I mean on life, not on killing your spouse.

A California socialite who tried to take out a hit on her husband has killed herself, according to a report.

Tatyana Remley took her own life outside a bar in San Diego Thursday night, authorities confirmed to the Daily Mail.

Remely, 44, died from a “gunshot wound to the head” after she called her estranged husband, Mark Remeley, from the bar, complaining about her new partner.

“She FaceTimed me while in the bathroom stall and told me, ‘I’m with this guy and he’s being a jerk,”‘ Mark Remely told the Mail.

Mark, a tech entrepreneur, met Tatyana around 15 years ago in a ritzy San Diego neighborhood. The two split in 2023 and were in the midst of divorcing.

In August 2023, she was charged with trying to take out a hit on her ex, along with charges of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle and possessing a firearm in public, the Mail reported.

She pleaded guilty to the charges and served one year of her nearly four-year prison sentence.

Their tortured affair continued after Tatyana left prison.

She and Mark reconnected and rekindled their romance, but Mark secretly recorded Tatyana allegedly admitting to setting fire to their Del Mar mansion years earlier, according to the outlet.

Mark ratted on his wife, and Tatyana was arrested on arson charges and had been awaiting trial in March before she took her own life.

Tatyana maintained her innocence on the arson charges — as well as in the mysterious death of her friend Sharal, who was with her the day the house fire began, according to a source connected to the couple.

She claimed Mark tried to falsely implicate her in Sharal’s suspected murder.

Despite it all, the couple’s relationship continued on an on-again/off-again basis until the day of her death, including reports that the two had fully reconciled, according to the source.

During their 15-year relationship, the pair used Mark’s $30 million real estate fortune to fund a lavish, public lifestyle for themselves and Tatyana’s two children from a previous marriage, according to the Mail.

They spent their time in mansions in California and Hawaii and started several ventures, including an ill-fated horse dancing show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in 2012, the outlet said.

They reportedly shared a passion for wild, debaucherous sex, and even appeared in the Showtime docuseries Naked SNCTM, which went behind the scenes of an exclusive sex club.
