Bill Murray’s wife files for divorce · 2008-05-30 19:11
The wife of actor Bill Murray has filed for divorce after almost 11 years of marriage, alleging he abused her and is addicted to marijuana and alcohol.
Jennifer Butler Murray’s complaint also alleges frequent abandonment by the US film actor, best known for his roles in Lost in Translation and Ghostbusters.
Murray’s attorney said the 57-year-old was “deeply saddened by the break-up of his marriage”.
However, he refused to comment on Ms Murray’s allegations.
The complaint, filed on 12 May in Charleston County, South Carolina, alleges the actor would often leave home without telling his wife, travelling overseas to engage in “public and private altercations and sexual liaisons”.
It also alleges Murray physically abused his wife, citing one incident in November 1997 when he “hit her in the face”.
The couple separated more than a year ago when Ms Murray moved with their four sons to Sullivan’s Islands, South Carolina, BBC informs.
