Bill Murray beats his wife
Bill Murray’s wife of 10+ years, Jennifer, filed for divorce earlier this month in a Charleston County, South Carolina court. In the court filing, Murray’s wife accuses the actor of adultery, drug abuse, abandonment, physical abuse, and I’m pretty sure that’s all she could check. The Charleston Post and Courier (South Carolina’s #1 Source for HOT Hollywood gossip) says:
According to the complaint, Jennifer Murray moved into a Sullivan’s Island home in 2006 with the couple’s four children due to her husband’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”
It was at the Sullivan’s Island home, according to the complaint, that Murray allegedly abused his wife in November 2007. The six-page court filing says Murray “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ ”
The complaint alleges that Murray physically abused his wife on more than one occasion during the marriage. (Source)
I’d be surprised that a Saturday Night Live alum was into drugs, alcohol, and abusive behavior if the precedent hadn’t been set by Jim Belushi, Chris Farley, and Phil Hartman. With those three as role models, I’m surprised Bill Murray’s still breathing. But I guess if there’s anyone that shouldn’t be afraid of kicking the bucket, it’s him. It’s been said the Dalai Lama himself has assured Bill that on his deathbed, he’ll receive “total consciousness.” So he’s got that goin’ for him, which is nice.
