BREAKING NEWS: Mel Gibson's Wife Files For Divorce

Gibson_Divorce.jpgYeah, we're kinda surprised this hasn't happened sooner too!

Mel Gibson's long-suffering wife Robyn has filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

The divorce papers were filed in Los Angeles on April 10th.

Robyn could walk away with a pretty big chuck of Mel's estimated $900 million fortune. The couple have been married since 1980 and do not have a pre-nuptial agreement.

The former couple have 7 children, but just one son, 10-year-old Tom, still lives at home. Robyn is asking the court for joint custody.

Powerhouse divorce attorney Laura Wasser (she was Britney's divorce lawyer) is repping Mel's soon-to-be ex wife.

Stay tuned - this one is going to be interesting!!!



Why do you think Mel's wife finally filed for divorce?

She deserves a medal for staying with this jerk as long as she has.

Wait a minute, aren't they devout, religious Catholics? Devourt Catholics are not allowed to divorce, the vatican forbids it. And since Gibson is buddy-buddy with the vatican, how does he explain this?

I agree with the first poster though, good for her! How she survived 28 years with a religious fanatic is anybody's guess. The man is certifiable.

What a shame. I hoped all would go well for Mel but, things don't always go the way they should. Hopefully, they can work it out. No big deal really. People get divorced all the time. It's just a shame when there's a child involved.

They've been separated for two years. And just a couple months ago Mel was seen on the beach making out with a young woman. He's cheated before but Robyn always took him back. I guess she finally had enough. Good luck to them both.
PS...Robyn enjoy your alimony, sweetie!

I hope his wife takes him for everything he's got!

I also heard he was constantly cheating on her and I'm glad she is putting her foot down once and for all.

An alcoholic cheater gets dumped? Shocker!

Catholics are not forbidden to divorce anonymous 9:26am. They are not allowed to remarry unless they have attained an annulment.



Posted by: James

You're partially right anonymous 10:17, they are not totally forbidden, but usually only annullment is seen as valid and recognized by the Catholic Church. But that is not the same as actual divorce.

But in itself, divorce is actually not possible on the theological level, because a sacramental marriage cannot be dissolved. Marriage bonds in Catholicism are seen as "indissoluble".

When a woman is married to a man for 28 years raising their children, it is not "his" fortune it is "their" fortune. She's entitled to 1/2 of everything earned during the marriage.

6 girls and 1 boy. That's pretty good for a movie star, at least he's not pulling his wire. Why would he cheat on his wife, after that many children? What's his excuse; I was drunk, he should say," It wasn't even me."

I like Mel Gibson and I'm sorry to hear of his marital problems. He is a very good actor and up to this piont, a loving father as well. After 7 children,
what could possiby go wrong? One thing for sure, they have enough money to be content. All the best to them and their children.

Robyn seems like a quiet, sweet, loving, old-fashioned wife and mom. I think when Mel flaunted his Russian girlfriend in Costa Rica to his grown sons and their girlfriends, that was the final straw for Robyn.



Posted by: Methuselah

Robyn, you are precious. Take your millions and kick the New World Order in the ASS!!! You GO girl!!!



Posted by: Matagascar

Mel Gibson is a devout Catholic who knocks up beautiful Russian singer. Well, maybe he's not so devout after all.
