Bill and Jennifer Murray: Divorcing
It looks like funny man Bill Murray isn’t laughing right now because his wife of ten years, Jennifer, just filed for divorce and it looks like it might get messy.
While irreconcilable differences is a popular reason for getting a divorce in Hollywood, Mrs. Murray went right for the jugular. Her reasons include claims of drug addiction, adultery, abandonment and spousal abuse in the papers she filed May 12th.
She is also seeking a restraining order which would bar Bill from her home in Sullivan’s Island, SC.
The couple did sign a prenuptial agreement on July 4, 1997 as reported by the Charleston Post and Courierand it states if either spouse files for divorce, both parties will retain their separate properties, waive any right to alimony or support and maintain responsibilities for their children.
If the marriage is dissolved and the 23-page premarital agreement is made a part of the order, Bill Murray agrees to pay Jennifer Murray $7 million, according to a copy of the agreement accompanying the complaint.
Bill has been reportedly abusive to Jennifer on more than one occasion and in a November 2007 filing says Murray “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ “
Wow. What a totally different side to Bill Murray. All I can think of is his role in the movie “What About Bob?” and how he drove Richard Dreyfuss insane. I think I’ll stick with that image instead of the drug abusing, wife beating, sex addict.
