One famous actor tried to make his wife take a "truth serum" to prove she cheated first!

As a staff writer at BuzzFeed, I write about all things celeb and pop culture.

"But as bad luck had it, I was asked to present an award to Kanye West at MTV's Video Music Awards. I saw Bob on the red carpet, and he looked at me and said, 'Look what the cat dragged in.' Then I saw Tommy [Lee, her first husband]. He entered from another way — kind of sneaking in and taking a seat — and when I slipped past him to sit down, Tommy pulled me onto his lap. He was sitting next to the magician Criss Angel, and I asked Criss if he could make Tommy disappear. Bob saw the whole thing and was fuming from his seat across from us. 

After I presented the award to Kanye, Alicia Keys started singing her new single 'No One,' and at the lyrics 'Everything's gonna be alright,' Tommy and Bob dove at each other. Fists were flying, and the whole thing ended up on live TV. I walked out, and Alicia didn't miss a beat, kept on singing. It was a setup. MTV must have been thrilled. I told the press waiting outside that we were bamboozled," she wrote.

However, Joe's rep denied this, telling TMZ, "After multiple conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. Sophie was aware that Joe was going to file for divorce. The Florida Court has already entered an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children. Sophie was served with this order on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago."

Joe and Sophie's reps didn't respond to BuzzFeed's request for comment at the time.

He said, "I was wrong for obviously lying, and I shouldn't have been in that position... I dealt with all this drama, and then at that point just realize… I finally got the balls to say, 'Hey, listen, I'm not ready for this, I'm sorry.' At that point, I was not ready to settle down. I wasn't man enough to know how to go about handling it."

The "horrible" situation spurred Ali to make several positive life changes, such as taking more ownership of her modeling career. She told the Unfolding Leadership podcast, "I look back on that situation, which was horrible, and I thank God every single day, because it changed me as a woman. It changed the way…I walk through this world, 100 percent. I am so much better because that happened. I am forever grateful for that."

And four years later, she told the New York Post, "When that happened, I thought, 'Forget it, this is more than I can handle — I'm never going to sing again.' I had to grieve through it... I don't see [Marie-Anne], ever. I don't invite that trigger into my life… She's not my future — she's my past."

"I have no reason to doubt that when she said she loved me and she wanted to be with me, she was being honest. But when it came to actions, and I asked her when she would tell Colin, she abruptly ended the relationship," he claimed.

In 2018, he and the Firths settled out of court. A joint statement from their lawyers said, “In the best interests of their families, the parties have agreed a private settlement. Therefore, the parties have asked the court for a postponement of the preliminary hearing in order to formalize the agreement. From this point on, this agreement precludes any further public statement by any of the parties about this matter."

The lawsuit was over the publisher's magazines publishing stories claiming he "abandoned" his daughter after the divorce.

Tom said, "'He chose Scientology over Suri for good.' 'Has he chosen Scientology over Suri for good?' 'Abandoned by Daddy.' I mean, come on, that is absolutely disgusting. I tolerate a tremendous amount, and I'm very privileged to be able to have the life that I have, and I believe that. But there is a line that I draw for myself and — and that's it. And I asked for an apology. I asked for a retraction. They denied it."

In a statement, Loni replied, "I do not intend to engage in a media war. I have to consider the welfare and best interests of my little boy."

In a joint statement, the former couple said, "The miscommunication of the objective of their marriage at the start is the only reason for this annulment. Renée and Kenny value and respect each other and are saddened that their different objectives prevent the success of this marriage."

Then in 2015, he told the outlet, "Nothing positive at all in my life came from it, I can tell you that. I didn't have any clue as to what true marriage meant. I was so used to committing to one thing — music — and then I had to totally commit to a second thing, marriage. I didn't know how. It was a scary moment for me. I had never really had any kind of attention from the paparazzi. It went from zero to the complete other end of the spectrum. I'd go to a concert, and there would be helicopters circling, trying to get a picture of me and her together. I thought it would be like that all the time. I just totally panicked. I did the only thing I knew to do: I ran. I pushed her away, in every way possible — to the point where I just didn't want to be married to her anymore. It's that simple. I still struggle with it. Was it the right thing to do or not? I still think about her every day. Every day I wonder if she's okay. I mean, you don't just fall out of love with somebody."

In 2016, Renée addressed the rumors that Kenny was gay, telling the Advocate, "I forgot about that. It's a pretty big thing to forget, isn't it? That made me sad. It made me sad that somehow people were using that as a way to be cruel and calling someone gay as a pejorative, which has fateful consequences. Of course, there's the bigger-picture problem of why anyone had to make up a story at all."

In 2023, he told the Hollywood Reporter, "It was my fuckup. It was my failure."

Per Vogue, Debbie's The Tender Trap costar Frank Sinatra advised her against exchanging vows with Eddie in the first place. She said, "He said, 'Don't marry Eddie.' He said I shouldn't get married to a singer. 'We're not faithful. It's ridiculous for you to take this on.' I said, 'Why? I don't think that I will listen to you — I really think he's adorable.' My mother thought he was adorable."

In the BBC documentary Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar, Elizabeth's son, Christopher Wilding, said, "My mother was still married to Eddie Fisher. I think she was unhappy. It wasn't a normal situation, and at that time, her attitude was, 'Fuck it. I'm going to do it my way, and if you don't like it, too bad.'"

Their affair was reportedly "so obvious." Richard and Sybil divorced in 1963, and Elizabeth and Eddie divorced the following year. The new couple were famously married twice — their first marriage lasted from 1964 to 1974, and their second lasted from 1975 to 1976.

Debbie Reynolds warned Eddie that how you get them is how you lose them! In her 2013 memoir Unsinkable, she wrote, "Elizabeth fell in love with ... Richard Burton, and I warned Eddie that she'd kick him out in a year and a half — and that's exactly what happened, which gave me at least a little comfort... He's not a strong enough personality for Elizabeth, who preferred her men to be, well, Richard Burton."

She continued, "I actually went to see The Constant Gardener — the first time I have seen him on film since we split up — and I was able to sit through it and really enjoy the movie, just thinking, 'Oh, there's a fantastic actor on screen.' But there was no other reaction whatever. Which is quite a good thing, I guess. I put it down to time. And maybe my second marriage... There are so many actors in Hollywood who go through so many relationships, and are allowed to, that I think he should be left alone to live how he chooses, without being under the glare of the media."

Unfortunately, that wasn't the last Britney heard from him. When she married Sam Asghari in 2022, Jason allegedly tried to crash the wedding. On Instagram Live, he reportedly said, "Britney Spears invited me here. She's my first wife. My only wife." He was arrested, and Britney and Sam were granted a restraining order against him. Charged with aggravated trespassing and battery, he was sentenced to 128 days in prison.
