Bill Murray divorce--you're missing the true story by a mile

Obviously the author of this article did not keep up with the recent news about this divorce. Shortly after Jennifer Butler's suit was filed, stories surfaced in the press about several occasions when she was drunk and disorderly in public. Police had to intervene at least twice, once when she was bombed and verbally abusing her children, the other when she fell off a dock and had to be fished out of the water. Apparently, in her town, her serious problems with alcohol and drugs are common knowledge. Any experience lawyer would immediately see the allegations in her suit as an attempt to break their prenuptial agreement. It didn't work. And as for the speed of the case, I believe she quickly learned it was in her best interests to let the agreement stand and take her 7 million and run before more dirt about her private life surfaced. Bill Murray clearly won this case, hands down. Good for him.

It was, as The Chicago Sun Times said, “A funny man and an ugly divorce.” And now it’s also been a fast divorce, after 10 years of marriage and four sons. Barely a month after Jennifer Butler Murray filed for divorce in South Carolina, with scathing accusations about Bill Murray's involvement in drugs, violence, and adultery, her divorce is final. She moved out of Murray’s home with their children in 2006, she said, and into a home in Sullivans Island, South Carolina, because of Murray’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions, and frequent abandonment."

Jennifer Murray said her husband traveled frequently outside the US without her, ''where he engages in public and private altercations and sexual liaisons.'' And she claimed that in November at the Sullivan Island home, Murray ''hit her in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her.' ''

The complaint noted that this was not the first time Murray had abused her. Her attorney, based in Charleston, was Robert Rosen.

Murray is famous in film circles for not having a publicist, a manager or an entourage. But he certainly needed a lawyer, and he hired one, John McDougall of Columbia, SC. According to the Charleston newspapers, McDougall responded to the divorce filling by saying that Murray “was deeply saddened by the breakup of his marriage. He and his wife made loving parents, and they are committed to the best interests of their children.''

Jennifer Butler Murray and William (Bill) Murray signed a 23-page prenuptial agreement in 1997 in which they waived all rights to alimony or support in the event of a breakup. But Murray did agree to pay his wife $7 million within 60 days of a final divorce decree.
