Murray's Wife Files for Divorce, Citing Abuse...

Posted May 29, 08 2:10 PM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Bill Murray is a spouse-abusing, drug-addicted adulterer, charges his soon-to-be-ex-wife. Jennifer Butler Murray filed for divorce recently, citing “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions, and frequent abandonment.” She also asked for a restraining order against the comedian.

The couple has been married for more than a decade. Butler Murray left the actor in 2006, escaping to a Sullivan Island home along with their four kids. She’s asking the court to review a prenup, under which she’s entitled to just $7 million.
