Divorce

SOME WOMEN ARE EASIER TO DIVORCE THAN OTHERS

Emily Ratajkowski’s estranged husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, whom she is divorcing after she caught him cheating, had a chance to spend some time with his son Sylvester this week. The baby already looks a lot like his dad. Note that the nanny is also there, and keeping an eye on things. Sebastian is probably not enjoying the fact that popular Emily is constantly followed by paparazzi and being linked to new guys – like Brad Pitt and most recently, Pete Davidson. Her highly publicized love life will probably haunt him for quite awhile…

WHAT DID BRAD PITT LEARN FROM JOHNNY DEPP?

We’ve always been Team Brad when discussing the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt divorce. As of now, they are both legally single, but not yet divorced- in fact, the divorce has gone on 3 times as long as their two year marriage! It may never end. They keep dragging each other into court for one thing or another- custody of the fast-growing kids, the French winery etc. Angelina is constantly -and deliberately- photographed on outings with each child, appearing to be a devoted mother, as she insists that Brad abused her and his children. We were startled to learn that Brad has the SAME powerful PR team used by Johnny Depp to save HIS reputation. Granted, we appreciate that Brad has never said a negative word about Angelina, but he might have something to hide if he hired those PR people…

IS EMILY RATAJKOWSKI GETTING EVEN?

SOME Hollywood divorces are not destined to be friendly – or for that matter, easy. It’s clear that model Emily Ratajkowski was flabbergasted when she found out that her husband Sebastian Bear McClard was apparently guilty of cheating and other unsavory activities, and she filed for divorce. Very subtly, she’s been “punishing” him ever since. Seems like every day we see new paparazzi photos of her all dolled up and looking fabulous. Your read here about her wisecrack that her husband “thought he was a 10 because he pulled her- but she happens to like UGLY men.” NOW the rumors about Emily and Brad Pitt are swirling, but keep in mind Brad’s relationships with women have been strictly undercover during his divorce. SOMEBODY is spreading these rumors- (which no one is denying) WHO could it be?

KENAN THOMPSON: NO HARD FEELINGS – REALLY?

Nice to hear that there are civilized divorces happening these days – even in Hollywood. SNL’s Kenan Thompson is a prime example. He and his wife Christina Evangeline actually separated a few years ago, and finally filed for divorce in April- without malice. After 14 years together they just “grew apart” and remain on good terms- they co-parent and spend holidays together with their two daughters. Kenan REALLY proved his good intentions when his estranged wife started dating his SNL costar Chris Redd. (Chris also just costarred with Thompson on his ill-fated series Kenan for 2 seasons!) It’s hard to imagine a man not being disturbed by his wife dating his good friend, but so far Kenan is living up to his nice-guy image…

NO SURPRISE: EMILY RATAJKOWSKI LIKES UGLY MEN

Model Emily Ratajkowski’s devotion to her husband of four years, producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, 41, was always a bit of a mystery because she seemed to be way out of his league. But when she accused him of cheating and other unsavory activities, she was quick to file for divorce. So we HAD to laugh when she posted on TikTok a line obviously referring to her estranged husband: “When he thinks he’s a 10 because he pulled you, but you like ugly men.”

SYLVESTER STALLONE: CAN THIS MARRIAGE BE SAVED?

Quite suddenly, Sylvester Stallone has a new bed partner. His wife Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce after Sly brought home a Rottweiler named Dwight. Although Dwight has had professional training, Jennifer was NOT happy with Sly’s fierce and macho dog. She already has three small fluffy pups (above) and she’s justifiably terrified that Dwight might hurt them. Jennifer is SO attached to her dogs that she captioned their photo “my children’s replacement.” (Her three cute daughters are grown up now and pretty much out of the house.) Apparently Dwight was the last straw for the Stallone’s 25 year marriage. The pooch is now free to share Sly’s bed and Jennifer no longer has to endure Sly’s cigar smoke or being asked not to wear high heels…

ROBERT DE NIRO: NO MORE BIG SPENDERS!

Little did we know that Robert De Niro has had a low-key girlfriend for the past few years. The 78 year old actor had a tumultuous split from his wife Grace Hightower back in 2018. Afterward, he griped that he was forced to take every job offered to pay for his ex’s penchant for expensive clothes and diamond rings. (That explains some of those B movies he’s done) Back in 2015 he met Tiffany Chen when he filmed The Intern- she taught him Tai Chi on the set. Tiffany is an award winning martial arts instructor. Their friendship has quietly developed into a romance – she has been his constant companion of late. No nonsense Tiffany is quite the opposite of his ex Grace – no diamonds or designer labels…

SCARY SPICE HAD A SCARY MARRIAGE TO A FAKE BELAFONTE

At least SOMETHING GOOD has come out of Mel B “Scary Spice’s” abusive marriage to Stephen Belafonte. It seems Melanie has been recognized with an MBE award in the UK for her commitment to helping women suffering from domestic violence. We could never figure out what she saw in the guy. His real name was Stephen Stansbury and when he moved to LA from New Jersey, he changed his last name to Belafonte, hoping to pose as Harry Belafonte’s son. It did open a few doors. We were horrified to hear from people in his home town that he had taken a brick and violently killed a mallard duck he found his front yard in New Jersey before he left. He already had a record of burglary and assault. A waitress at the Rainbow bar on Sunset told me that Stephen and Mel were in the habit of sitting at the bar, trying to pick up pretty girls for “threesomes.” But it was not all fun and games. Mel started showing up for work on TV shows with cuts and bruises. Her friends begged her to dump the husband. Eventually she wised up and divorced the fake Belafonte- the sleazy guy now calls himself a “producer.”

DR DRE DOESN’T KNOW HOW LUCKY HE IS

We’ve always marveled at the fact that Dr Dre evolved from gangsta rapper in NWA to clever and hugely successful businessman. He was as rough as they come, and considering all the accusations he had of abusing women, he would probably be in #MeToo prison by now if he hadn’t gotten married to Nicole Young in 1996. We can never forgive him for horrifically assaulting a female TV host (and bragging about it) in 1991 because he didn’t like something she said on her show. Dre could NOT have been easy to live with. Young filed for divorce in June 2020 and the battle for his money began. Lucky for Dre, he was smart enough to get a prenup and they just settled- Nicole gets a flat 100 million dollars and that leaves Dre with around 720 million. She worked hard for that money…

BEN AFFLECK AND BRAD PITT HAVE A LOT IN COMMON

In Ben Affleck’s Howard Stern interview he remarked that while he was married to Jennifer Garner and they had three kids, that he felt trapped and would drink too much and fall asleep on the couch. Long after his divorce from Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt confessed that HE would smoke and drink too much and fall asleep on the couch. Both guys were obviously unhappy and didn’t know what to do about it. We’re betting Brad’s marriage to Angelina Jolie ended in a similar way. The DIFFERENCE between Brad and Ben is that Brad carefully chose his words and never mentioned Aniston in a negative way. By saying he felt “trapped” Ben implied that Garner was the cause and we don’t think he meant to. He has always admired and praised his ex-wife.
