Former Mrs. Florida, a MAGAt, jailed a month for stealing her mom's SS checks.

A federal judge in Florida has ordered Mrs. Florida 2016 to spend a month in jail for stealing her mother's Social Security checks rather than using the money to pay for nursing home care.

Karyn Turk, 47, was also sentenced on Thursday to five months of house arrest when she gets out of prison, and must perform 100 hours of community service in a nursing home, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Turk's adoptive mother died in June at the age of 83, after suffering Alzheimer's and dementia. A court-appointed guardian accused Turk of using her mother's Social Security checks to promote her dream of appearing on 'The Real Housewives of Palm Beach' and to garner publicity.

The guardian accused Turk of using the money to rent large homes and buying tables at fancy equestrian events.

Teacher sues ex-husband’s new wife, Mrs. Florida 2016

"Meredith, who is divorced from estate and trust lawyer Evan Turk, claims she was married and pregnant with one of their two children when Karyn had an affair with the 40-year-old attorney.

Meredith and Evan divorced in 2014, according to court records, and Evan took up almost immediately with Karyn.

Obviously, things between Meredith and Karyn have been tense for years, with the children’s drop-offs conducted in police stations.

Meredith claims in her petition for an injunction that Karyn is using multiple Facebook and Instagram accounts with thousands of followers to “intimidate, harass, embarrass … to intentionally cause great/extreme emotional distress” to her.
