Abuse + Drugs = Divorce
Filed under: Old People > Legal Matters > Love Line
Bill Murray's wife of 11 years has filed for divorce.
And she's dropping bombshells!
The soon to be ex-Mrs. Murray cites some dark reasons for filing the divorce.
She alleges abusive behavior, drug and alcohol addiction, and frequent abandonment by the former Saturday Night Live star.
Bill Murray's lawyer says the actor is deeply saddened by the breakup and is committed to the best interests of the couple's four children.
This divorce is gonna get messy.
Lovesit!

He says to me, on your death be, you shall receive total consciousness….so i got that goin for me
Hmm
first!?
Hmm……
first!
first.
sucks.
meh.
awwww-i love bill…he is a legend among men…
now, it was my understanding that she LIKED getting beat?
Oh my….how sad
How sad.
Yes, Perez… "Lovesit!" is always the appropriate response when a wife comes forward to reveal she was abused. Do you even *think* about what you're writing?
I just dont think someone's messy divorce is funny or entertaining. It might be entertaining if it was an 11 day marriage, but 11 years and 4 kids is a huge investment and not entertainment.
Oh, Perez. Lovesit? Don't be a douchebag. Reporting the news of a celebrities divorce is one thing. Gushing over its demise is just plain sick.
He does look like he would be a little freaky…
gross. I just threw up in my mouth.
Perez you have some serious issues! You thrive on other people's problems and misery! There are 4 children involved in this and you "lovesit". Go see a shrink or take a long look at what your real problems or issues are.
money hungry tramp! I LOVE BILL!!!
Oh she just wants to get paid. She has to make sure she gets millions and the sympathy of the world by keeping the kids.
for shame for shame
lovesit? You enjoy other peoples misery?
For once, this is gossip I wished I hadn't heard. I love Bill Murray, but abuse makes me sick to my stomach
How can you have so much compassion for Shania, yet when this woman is repeatedly abused you say "LOVESIT". This is not a joke. Domestic abuse and divorce rips apart families. I don't think anyone appreciates your comments.
I don't know why I read this crap. I need help.
I wonder if he is the actor that a pap caught on film through the window of their house beating his wife?
This should NOT be news to anyone who knows Murray's reputation.
He is an angry, bitter, mean-spirited man. People have put up with him for a long time, but he is an a-hole. He was so angry when he didn't get the Oscar for "Lost in Translation". That wife is going to spill all the beans- I can't wait to read all about it!
shania made her own money. she didnt marry into it. just cant respect that.

Re: stefys – Surprised? I though he was good in lost becuase he played himself. i know that is not acting, but that is what we callacting in LA
why perez, why?? do you not read the comments that people leave you? i guess you could care less that everybody hates you for being such an insensitive pig. of course you "lovesit" because you are a flaming homo with no morals or decency
Met him a few years ago in Chicago, real strange bird, he hit on my very young friend and kept giving her $100 bills. She had no clue who he was. Doesn't surprise me, but he is a great talent.
Hang in there Bill!! I love ya!
These types of allegations have gotten so common in divorce cases, and are usually so false that one judge in New York threatened couples, telling them if somebody brought up allegations of child abuse against a spouse they were divorcing that were later found out to be provably false they would lose custody of the children. I would be careful giving any credibility to the wifes claims here unless she can back them up. My bet is, it's aploy by her lawyers to try to publicly embarrass him and to get him to settle quickly.
Lovesit? Seriously? Taking pleasure in someone else's problems is just sad. You don't even know this woman…or Bill Murray for that matter. I love this website but I was disgusted to read this post. This family is breaking up and that woman and her kids are in for some serious heartache…are you honestly happy about that you sick fuck??
Some women deserve to be beat.
I think this a sad thing. I hope the children will be ok and I hope that they get the proper counseling. I hope Bill Murray did not hit his wife. Divorce is a very tough time and I hope he comes out of this a stronger man.
tis true………….
Sounds like she is angling for more cash. I find it hard to believe she didn't know these things about him (if true) before she married him. I'm certainly against domestic violence, but I'm sure there is quite a bit of money at stake here.
He's a jerk.
I believe her.
his "drug abuse" according to her is weed and alcohol.. now alcohol can be very damaging, true, but how the hell do you "abuse" weed?? eat up all the brownies - oh no!!
i don't believe it, how transparent is it that she asks for the prenup to be reversed in the same statement as these wild allegations??
I don't believe it, I love him to death. If he beat her, she deserved it.
Bill Murray is awesome. One of the best Americans there is (next to Michael Moore of course).
I refuse to believe these allegations - or just at least the abuse part. I adore Bill Murray
she shouldnt be a whore or talking then
go bill
NNOOOOO!!! That's bull****.
High people do not abuse people - they eat - and laugh….
alcohol might be another story - plenty of angry drunks out there, but dopers, they are harmless - just stoned….
I was going to comment on your lack of morals when it came to the lovesit comment, but it seems like others have done that. I know Bill personally, as well as some of his children and I never once noticed any signs of negligence. However, I can almost say for a fact that Mr. Bill likes to smoke weed. I say almost because I haven't seen him or his family in 6 years.
NOOOOOO NOT BILL MURRAY!!
stupid jerk. drugs nad alcohol whatever man your only hurting yourself but don't beat your wife asshole!
"You know I invented my own grass too and the amazing stuff about this is you can play 36 holes on it, then you can take some home and get stoned out of the bejesus with it."
He was a little TOO convincing in Caddyshack, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. This great talent that should avoid Wes Anderson films like the plague.
He's def a weird dude, I waited on him once at the Bethpage Black Course, he's not too friendly, seems a little dark, and was very cheap!!
"Lovesit"?? Four children are caught in the middle of this mess. Do you "lovesthat"?? Dumbass.
SAD, VERY SAD!
I don't believe it……
so… does this mean bill is up for grabs?
Dude needs to get off the sauce–nice skin–and jaundiced eyes, billdo.
Bill Murray is a god. Yes he's an asshole but he's not a wife beater. She's a gold digger.
Re: Kate –
hahahha that's amazing! Cheers to you my friend!
Yeah that bitch totally got what was coming to her!
How unfortunate that he is taking the ugly old man path. I'm such a big fan of his, but now I'm seeing him in this new light, and it will be hard to separate actor/comic Bill from ass/jerk Bill. If he truly was "committed to the best interests of the couple's four children", he would have been kind and decent to their mother.
ew. thats terrible. he kinda looks like a wife beater though. he's got that look in his eye the same one alec baldwin has.
You know….she might not be full of shit…I remember seeing something about Gilda Radner (I know she had been with him before she passed away when they were on SNL together) saying that he was abusive and dismissive of her during their relationship too. I wish I knew where I saw that, or what it was on. There are two sides to every story and sometimes people are really just batshit crazy, even if they are funny. x
Why don't you watch what the fuck you write on people's damn pictures you dumbass. How do you know these allegations are true!!
God you're so fucking stupid. You'll get your Karma just like Sharon Stone mentioned.
Evil Los Angeles fucking retard. You need to go back to Miami and get some brains and be surrounded by some real people.

OMG - don't shit on Perez - Bill is the abuse one! I saw him in an airport in Jamaica many moons ago and a 7 year old asked for his autograph and lets just say that Bill let go the most horrendous abusive tyrannical tantrum screaming his head off at this little boy who then burst into tears! So, don't worry about the children - they are probably breathing a sigh of relief that mummy kicked out daddy dearest!
Perez, it is unnacceptable as a human being to thrive on other peoples public misfortune. With four kids involved, and even without that….regardless, you should really think about what you put out into the universe.
Its truly disgusting. 'Lovesit' is not a normal response to allegations of abuse.
This all sounds like complete bull-shit on her part–
I USED TO WORK FOR A RESTURAUNT THAT WAS OWNED BY HE AND HIS BROTHER'S……………….IN THE OPENING OF THE RESTURAUNT BILL WOULD COME INTO WORK AT AROUND 1030 W/ A ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE. IT WAS ALSO RUMORED THAT HE SLEPT W/ ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS…….I KNOW FOR A FACT HE'S AN ALCHOLOLIC…………..I BELIEVE HE BANGED THE FAT CHICK I WORKED WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus, how old is Bill Murray? He looks like hell.
Damn, he got old quick. And yes, I believe the wife.
Beats his wife???? Who beat him with the ugly stick???
She better have photographic proof that he has abused/cheated on her or else I seriously doubt if anyone would believe her… See, there was a prenup signed…If he didn't abuse/cheat on her, then she wouldn't really see that much of his money… if she can prove that he did, then the prenup is pretty much worthless.
Bill Murray is my hero…regardless.
Bill Murray is a good and honest man. His soon to be ex-wife is a money grubbing whore.
Jesus christ, when did Bill Murry get so old?
Also, Perez, you're fat.
Wow! She moves out with the kids. Files for divorce 2 YEARS LATER! Then tries for a TRO - why? just because that's what trashy people. They think that it will only make their case better in court and add some credibility to the charges she's filed. What is does do IS SCREW UP THE KIDS! Way to go. How could she not know who he was before she married him, everyone knows how Bill is - EVERYONE! She's got her 10 years in- the threshold for permanent lifetime alimony in most states. SHE'S WORKING THE SYSTEM and this will all come out in court!
I ran into Bill Murray and his wife when they came into the Three Dog Bakery I run in kansas City last week. He was fairly grumpy but his wife seemed fine! She was cordial and talked to me for a while while Bill searched the shelves for what he needed. They left holding hands! It's amazing how much changes in a week!
I never liked the cretin, especially when he showed such bad sportmanship when he did not win the Oscar for Lost In Translation.
Smoking pot is not drug abuse. People who say stuff like that are trying to play to the media - my guess is she hit the bong too.
I was at a party in Naples, FL about 10 years ago that Bill Murray showed up at. At first I was excitied to meet him but that quickly changed. He walked in looking like a homeless person, he was very rude, he got totally plowed then peed in my friends front lawn. She kicked him out. He said "Yeah whatever bitch" and gave us all the finger as he stumbled out. SO CLASSY!
ahhhh, whatever…Most women want the money and fame that comes with being with a famous guy, but later on they cannot imhandle the ansense that comes with that fame and money..I bet he missed out on some school functions, and she went irate on him..she prolly smoked some weed with h
NO. Bill Murray is NOT a wife beater. He's like one of the best comedians from the 80s. If he turns out to be a wife beater, I will never be able to watch "Caddyshack," "Ghost Busters," or "Groundhog Day" ever again.
Lucy Liu couldn't stand working with him on the set of "Charlie's Angels." Cast him as a real jerk.
Poor drunken miserable fool. He needs to pull himself together.
