Sure Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's divorce might have been finalized by the time it made the news, but the blowback from their split took weeks to works out. According to the latest gossip news updates, the "Little Red Wagon" singer has hurt a few of the Voice coach's Oklahoma neighbors by shuttering a local boutique and animal shelter that she opened while married to Blake. Meanwhile, Blake is said to have been so traumatized by their split that he is still a little gun-shy now that he's dating new girlfriend Gwen Stefani.
When they were married, Miranda Lambert reportedly did her best to become a part of Blake Shelton's life in Oklahoma by opening both a boutique named, The Pink Pistol, and a no-kill animal shelter in Tishomingo.
The secret source that OK! Magazine spoke to for their December 7, issue explained that since their divorce back in July, Lambert is now preparing to close both business in an attempt to put her past with Blake behind her forever:
"Miranda's so determined to get out of Dodge, she's already given two-weeks notice to employees at the shelter and made plans for the boutique's closing.
Word has it that although she is just now turning her attention to her business ventures in Oklahoma, Miranda has been ready to cut ties with Blake for quite some time.
According to Hollywood Life's insider, Miranda left their marriage with such ferocity that in the end Blake was left emotionally traumatized to the point that Shelton has had a hard time completely surrounding to his feelings for Gwen Stefani:
"Although he won't talk about it, there have been nonstop rumors that she betrayed him. One thing is for certain, that he was really hurt by Miranda and that has left a scar on his heart.
"He's keeping things fairly light with Gwen and part of that is because he's scared to get hurt again."
Whatever her reasons for reportedly closing her businesses in Oklahoma, it's Miranda -- not Blake -- who will still be single come Thanksgiving.
In a recent Instagram update, Miranda let her fans know that she was going to be spending Turkey Day at her parents' house, while Blake will likely being playing family with Gwen and her kids (via Us Weekly):
"Nothing beats a handwritten note from Mom. #homesweethome #cheetosandwine."
