Bill Murray: Wife Beater?

Messy divorce alert! Bill Murray's wife of more than 10 years, Jennifer Butler Murray, claims he beat her, cheated on her and abandoned her. She also accused him of being addicted to sex, weed and booze. Jennifer cites the accusations as reason for divorce in court papers filed on May 12th in Charleston, South Carolina.

Charleston Post & Courier reports that Jen has asked the court for a restraining order to keep Bill away from her ass. She also wants the court to examine their pre-nup order. According to the pre-nup, Jen will get $7 million if they divorce.

The two were married in 1997 and they have 4 kids together. Jen moved into a Sullivan's Island home in 2006 to escape Bill's constant alleged abuse. In the report, Jen states that in November 2007 Bill "hit his wife in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her.' "

You think you know someone....from watching them "Groundhog Day." This shit is going to get dirty. Filthy. This is a job for Judge Mablean. Too bad her hot ass got fired from Divorce Court!

I'm just glad finally someone had the balls to cite reasons other than "Irreconcilable Differences" for their divorce!

i know bill murray has no sense of humor unless he's doing comedy, so i can believe he's a wifebeater...what i can't believe is that he's addicted to sex...oh, and oddly, i believe he's addicted to the weed and booze too...

I love the judgemental people who say that if a man ever did that to them, they'd "kick the shit out of them", blah blah blah. If you've never been in an abusive relationship, you have NO idea what it's like. Abusive men typically break down the women their with and manipulate them. Period. If a man is hitting you in the face, choking you, kicking you, whatever...you cannot tell me you're going to fight back
-------------------------------------------------
How about you not do the same thing you're accusing others of doing. Don't you try to tell others how they'll react should they ever find themselves in such a situation. I understand what you're saying about people not always being able to get out of destructive relationships. 9 out of 10 times, people don't actively CHOOSE to be abused and you're right about how abuse is not just physical. But if people on this board are saying that they'd never let themselves be caught up in such situations and that they would fight back, you shouldn't be saying, "I love how people here are all "I'd kick his ass"..blah blah". Perhaps you'd be better off explaining that it's not always that easy but still encourage those who are saying that they'd fight back.

Even though I think Bill Murray is a fantastic actor and love his work, this story does not surprise me. Theres something just slightly 'off' about him....

People have such duality to their personalities, as we all know. And, it's true that comedians are often destructive, whack jobs in their real lives. I adore Murray in everything he's done, and seriously hope this isn't true (but my intuition tells me that it is).

My father was and still is a pillar of the community I gew up in, is educated, and a really, really funny and charming man with many friends. He's loved by everyone who knows him. But, behind the scenes, once in a very rare while when I was growing up, he would snap and beat my mother, siblings or me until he almost killed us. And, I'm seriously not exaggerating in any way about this. I also must point out that if we told anyone in our community about this, they would be hard pressed to ever believe it -- my dad was "that kind of guy". Why my parent's marriage has lasted is a mystery to my siblings and me. Not surpringly, my father's father was a violent lunatic, as was my mother's. When I really think about it, I suppose it's no surprise that they ended up and stayed together.

I did work through my own issues in therapy for many years. None of my friends knew about this until much later, and were shocked when I told them. I didn't tell my husband (then fiancee) about it until after he had met my father for the first time. He told me that if had known before, he would have confronted then flattenend my father. I've have never spoken about it to my father (or mother for that matter), and have never, ever felt completely comfortable around him. In one rare moment, my father admited to my husband (not to me or my siblings) that he made many mistakes when he was parenting us, and felt horrible for many things he did. Go figure.

So, my reason for revealing this, is to say that you just never know -- it can be the most unlikely of people who do this. It's not just white trash, sheet metal workers in trailer courts who are violent torwards family members.

I really feel that for the most part it's in my past, but I happened to watch Oprah one day (I try to avoid it, but this show caught my eye for obvious reasons) -- an episode aired in which this husband ritualistically beat his wife, and at one point had his son tape him beating her for hours, while he and his son verbally abused her. It literally made me sick. I don't think anyone fully recovers from this.

If Murray's wife is claiming this to get press and more money, and it's not true -- that's evil too, as it diminishes what real people experience when being abused.

The whole thing sucks.

How do you get a restraining order on someone you've accused of "abandoning" you? Aren't they restraining themselves when they abandon you?

_______________________________________________________________
Little China Doll, you obviously don't know me or know what I would or wouldn't do. I was in an abusive relationship. His ex had a restraining order against him when I started dating him.
I know for a fact that if he ever laid one hand on me, I would've fought back (That's what having brothers and sisters teach you!). Even if I don't win, I respect myself enough to guard myself from that abuse. He knew it too. I come from a bad childhood, but I knew deep down it was wrong how he acted. Despite that he was a charmer, cute and sexy as hell, and great in a lot of things...I knew better and left.
I take Krav Maga twice a week--if you don't know what it is, look it up. I highly recommend it to women (perhaps like yourself) who are maybe hesitant to hit a man if they touch her or just stand up to people who hurt them. Also it's a great workout. Personally, I wish I can go back to my ex and use my skills, but I'm trained not to provoke fights. Blah.

I can believe he's a pretentious asshole--the successful SNL alums have tended to turn out that way.

I will never look at Bill Murray the same way again. In fact, when I see him looking at that trophy with that face, I am not thinking "he's analyzing where in the house it will look better" I am thinking "He's analyzing whether he should beat his wife or fuck her with this shiny shiny object. Either way he'll enjoy it". :/

If a man is hitting you in the face, choking you, kicking you, whatever...you cannot tell me you're going to fight back. Ridiculous. My father was abusive and my mother stayed for years because he threatened to kill her or us and leave her to be without her children. She could not stand the idea of her children being dead because she left so she stayed. And I truly think he would've done it. He was crazy then. (He was a police officer so she knew that they'd be on his side.) When it comes to domestic abuse, women do NOT have the protection they deserve. You think INSANE men care that there is a bull shit piece of paper saying they have to "stay 500 yards away"? Give me a fucking break. Until you know what it's like, don't fucking judge.

It's definitely a thankless job, joe. I think the best punishment would be for those abusers to spend a month working in such a job (particulary retail at Christmas).

And never treat IT support and Admin staff poorly; you'll get it back in spades. ;)

That surely explains a lot, although it was suspicious from the beginning. It's injected into one's head and nobody has given a moment's thought to the fact that some of it may seep into one's brain?
So, maybe it's not the botox that's wrong with Hollywood since one would actually need a brain first.

Mrs.Kravitz, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Often times you just don't know where someone is coming from emotionally and/or mentally.

I bet plenty of the 'moms' here have been either physically or emotionally abusive to their kids at one time or another. Some women, moms and dads make mistakes. Husbands too. Constant abuse is one thing but someone who loses it once in a blue moon is hardly what I'd consider a perpetual abuser. That doesn't make it RIGHT but there is a difference in my humble opinion.

Emotional abuse is a whole different issue. You can't even prove that kind of mental abuse unless you keep a nanny-cam on in every room taping every time the emotional/verbal abuser happens to come home.

Utopia is obviously a long ways away.

I speak from experience. Good people can do shitty things sometimes and often times they are sorry for it in a deep way that haunts them to the end of their life. That doesn't mean you stop loving them. Hell, kids can be little assholes too for that matter.

I'm not making any sense probably.

I like Bill. He's still good in my book but he didn't smacke me. lol

Damn Mrs. K.

Do you now what guts it takes to look inside yourself and DEAL I mean really DEAL with what your life is, can be, and what you wont let it be?

YOU have that kind of strength and its rare IMO.

Ive been to type to dust some things under the rug, ive had to hide things and deal with them later, but i know the problem(s) can just sit in you and fester if you leave them unattended to for long.

Im looking at from your moms side and your side and i understand the layers upon layers of feelings...

Ill just say your story sounds a lot like one that is close to my heart and the road youve been on sounds familiar.

Much Love and Peace to all in life.

I dont know if i just came thorugh clear or not.

When my mom was 12 or so, she was sexually abused by a boarder that her mother had taken in. My grandmother knew about the abuse and looked the other way because she "needed the money."
Needless to say my mom had many unresolved emotional issues.
This, of course, had an enormous impact on her parenting and life in general. To make matters worse she claimed it had no effect on her at all, she was "over it," which of course was total bullshit. She didn't think there was anything wrong with living a life in denial.
I have had a lifetime of dealing with people whose behavior was influenced by their emotional health or lack thereof.
Compassion and kindness works for well for me. Frankly, it saved my life.
