Bill Murray’s Wife Files For Divorce

Bill Murray, star of many of the hit movies such as Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, apparently has quite a lifestyle at home. Jennifer Butler Murray, whom Bill has been married to for ten years, filed for divorce on May 12 in Charleston, South Carolina, where the two have a home.

No irreconcilable differences on this one… She is alleging that he is a sex and drug addict, he abandoned her, cheated on her, and even physically abused her. This is not the Bill we all knew from all those Saturday Night Live episodes.

The Charleston Post & Courier has most of the details of the case, and reported that Jennifer is requesting a restraining order to keep Murray out of her home. Also it appears that the two had signed a pre-nup before they were married. Well, she is double checking with the South Carolina courts that this is indeed valid, as she will be awarded a tidy sum of $7 million if they do get divorced.

Butler is making her case stating that their four children had to move out of the house back in 2006 because of Bill’s lifestyle. She said the reason was Murray’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.” She also noted that Bill “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her’”.

Looking forward to hearing from Bill Murray’s divorce attorneys for some explanations as these are very serious allegations.
