Bad Groom

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] When you think of this Academy Award-winning actor, the word cruel does not come immediately to mind.

It will after we tell you a little story about him.

He is known as a Lothario. He has had more than one wife, including a very famous actress who we have talked about before. She is having her own relationship drama right now, but this blind item is not about her.

This is about one of his other wives. She married him very early in his career. Instead of treating his new bride with love and respect, our groom would drink. And do drugs. And then, allegedly, the pushing and the slapping and the beatings would begin. Friends tell us what happened.

She was just this innocent girl from a small town who wanted to become an actress. She moved to California, and she was so happy about the marriage at first, but then she started avoided coming home [to her hometown], even for holidays.

When she finally did, it was the middle of the summer and very hot. We couldn’t figure out why she insisted on wearing long sleeves and long pants and sunglasses. Then she showed us the cuts and bruises. They were all over her body!

She said that he called it S&M play, but she told him that she didn’t want to participate because he was really rough and he hurt her. If she said no, he would drink and do drugs and then just beat her. She was very scared.

She eventually did leave him, but she also cut a lot of friends out of her life because she was just so ashamed. The relationship emotionally broke her.

We definitely know that he was into the S&M play with at least one of his later wives, but the suffering this poor woman endured demonstrates that he is just a really bad and cruel person.

    With the word “cruel” being used a couple of times, I thought of the film “Cruel Intentions”…

    Ryan Phillippe
    Famous ex-wife: Reese Witherspoon

    • tellmemore says

      No, the wife isn’t Angelina. The blind is pretty specific about that: one of his ex wives is very famous and going through her own divorce, but this isn’t about her; he married this wife “early in his career.”

    • ladysussex says

      Except AJ wasn’t a small town girl who moved to California. She’s born and raised in LA and her father was already a famous actor.

  4. trow125 says

    Billy Bob Thornton, with Angelina Jolie being the famous ex-wife. He’s been married six times and at least one of his exes has charged him with spousal abuse, so this doesn’t surprise me.
    Clue: he was in “Intolerable Cruelty”

    • joanbonjovi says

      He’s had six wives.

      Clues: Bad Grandpa, his movie. Related blind about him and Angie, who were notorious for their bloodplay. Cruel = Intolerable Cruelty, a movie he was in. Lothario = School for Scoundrels movie, his character is repeatedly described as a lothario.

    Billy Bob Thornton

    Angelina Jolie

    Similar blind, famous ex having problems, the s&m clues & I think I’ve read that he’s abusive before

  9. TulipInBloom says

    Actor: Billy Bob Thornton

    His Actress Ex-Wife: Angelina Jolie

    Clues: Bad Groom is a play on Bad Santa, Angie currently having drama with Brad, the similar story may be about the blood play between Angie and Billy Bob.

    [Optional] Did you ever suspect he was like this? I didn’t suspect but it doesn’t surprise me either. He gives me the creeps.

    • KatarinaJ says

      So who is the wide eyed girl he abused who moved to cali and was happy to be here? Doesn’t fit. These two are Hollywood royalty and didn’t go back to or avoid small towns. First marriage/woman can’t find.

  18. High Steppa says

    Billy Bob T. No idea about the ex since he has so many (!) Hints were Bad (Santa) and Cruel (Intolerable Cruelty). I always thought he was a weirdo but not like this. Disgusting.

  23. JHntr113 says

    Actor: Billy Bob Thornton

    He’s been married a lot. Sometimes to actresses. None of them lasted more than 2 years.

    Clue: he’s well known to be Hollywood’s Lothario, even though people outside Hollywood look at him and are like, “Huh? HIM? Why???”

  24. wareagle says

    Billy Bob Thorton?

    Clues: Bad Groom similar to Bad Santa
    Mostly likely did S&M with ex wife Angelina Jolie

  25. Brizzles says

    Billy Bob Thornton and Cynda Williams? Or one of the wives before her? He has been married like 5 or 6 times. Won Oscar for Slingblade, I believe…

  27. Talisker says

    Billy Bob Thornton
    Angelina Jolie
    Wife no 4 accused him of domestic abuse but this blind appears to relate to wife no 1

  29. Arianna1 says

    I think this is Billy Bob Thornton. I’m not surprised to read this, he always looked like a wife beater type to me.

  33. groze says

    This must be Billy Bob Thornton–“bad” = “Bad Santa,” “cruel” = “Intolerable Cruelty.” The very famous actress wife is Angelina.

    Never suspected. He seemed kooky but good-hearted. Boy was I wrong!

  35. LewyLewy82 says

    Actor: Billy Bob Thorton

    Actress ex: Angelina Jolie (having her own marital problems right now)

    Clues: “Bad Groom” (“Bad Santa was a movie that he was in)

    He’s been married 6 times and was accused of spousal abuse by one of his wives years ago. Am I shocked? Not really, he always comes across like a D-bag in interviews so I’m going to guess he not too pleasant in his personal life.

  36. memary says

    Is this Billy Bob Thornton?? I hate to say it, but I can see it.
    I will also say that I’ve stood right next to that guy in real life and he is tiny.
    Like a tiny twig, tiny. If he tried that shtuff with anyone unwilling they could
    snap his tiny neck.

  39. dween2000 says

    I’m gonna guess Billy Bob Thornton, he’s been married 6 times
    Actress ex-wife who has issues of her own is obvs Angie

  41. skeptical says

    Billy Bob Thornton. Has had 6 wives, first as early as 1978. Married to Angelina Jolie, referenced to the previous blind, Slaughterhouse Six. Title of blind – Bad Groom, play on Bad Santa and Bad Santa 2.

    I never really thought about it, but now that I have, I could see it in his personality. He has serious control issues.

  42. Vidalia Q Intrigue says

    Crud, this sounds like Billy Bob Thornton.

    His really famous ex wife is Angelina Jolie. He’s been married like 6 or 7 times.

    No, I didn’t know that he was just a bad cruel person. I thought he was just eccentric and oddly sexy. I am disappointed to read this.

    Doesn’t surprise me.

  67. tasha2777 says

    Billy Bob Thornton

    Angelina Jolie

    I don’t think this is really that surprising. There was always something strange about him. The blood vial thing with Angelina kind of solidified that opinion.

  68. abcdiana02 says

    Actor: Nicholas Cage
    Actress Ex-wife: Patricia Arquette

    Lisa Marie Presley, one of his exes, was covered in a previous post but I don’t think she’s an actress…

    Not sure about this but other oscar winners don’t really fit.

  71. PollyMetropolitan says

    My guess is Billy Bob Thornton

    Angelina (who has drama right now), is the ex wife

    Bad Groom made me think of Bad Santa, he has had a lot of other wives.

    Billy Bob Thornton

    Angelina Jolie
    (as the ex-wife having her own issues.)

    Don’t know who the beaten wife is. Maybe he beat Jolie too?

    Don’t know anything about him but if you look at him, he doesn’t look well. Living a bad life can do that.

  79. JerzeyJenn says

  86. Floatingheath says

    Billy Bob Thornton. There was a lot of crazy stuff reported about him and Angelina, but I thought it was just harmless fun. Pretty disappointed to hear this.

  87. Summers says

    Billy Bob Thornton

    My mum always said he’s a nasty person, I don’t know how why she says this as she’s never met him but more often than not my mum’s judgement is right 🙂

  88. scl1978 says

    that scum bag Billy Bob Thornton
    & i really think that he’s the one who “broke” Angie….

    i don’t care how good actor he is,it doesn’t excuse his behavior…

  91. lindylu says

    Billy Bob Thornton. I am positive that he has Tourette syndrome which makes it pretty impossible to control his emotions without some type of medication. I remember seeing him at some awards show and the camera panned to him without him knowing it. He had the classic eyeblinking tics of someone with Tourette syndrome.

    • shesboss says

      Not interested in the subject of this Blind but wanted to comment on Tourette’s. I’ve known a great woman with it and a friends two brothers have it. The tics can be anywhere on the body but typically the arms and shoulder. It also usually comes with anxiety and often hyper forms of ADHD. It doesn’t come with abusive behavior. BB’s tics could be from drug (incl alcohol) abuse.

    • shesboss says

      Sadly, he’s not the first last or only famous wealthy man to be abusive. Let’s hope he meets his match by a woman he can’t discredit / payoff and opens the door for other victims.

  94. scotgirl says

    Actor :- Billy BobThornton.

    Clue bad groom, he was in bad santa. He has had multiple wives.

    Actress ex-wife :- Angelina Jolie.

    “including a very famous actress…” – Angelina has her own issues right now

    [Optional] Did you ever suspect he was like this?: Seems like a pretty typical Hollywood guy.

  99. TruveyTaylor says

    Uck. Uck. Uck.

    Actor: BILLY BOB THORNTON

    Clues: Bad Groom = Bad Santa (movie he’s in with a sequel coming). Also, the linked BI about sexual blood play (him and Angelina Jolie)

    I have honestly been bothered about this since yesterday. Not a fun one to guess. PLEASE, get help if you are…

  100. bellashade says

    Billy Bob Thornton
    Toni Lawrence
    “Bad Groom” like his move Bad Santa
    Famous ex wife having relationship drama – Angelina Jolie

  101. TeaDrinker says

    Billy Bob Thornton

    Angelina Jolie (The super famous actress mentioned)

    Not sure who the actress is from this blind though.

  102. Blitzed says

    Billy Bob Thornton

    Actress ex: Angelina Jolie

    Clues: “Bad groom” reminds me of his movie Bad Santa, s&m and blood play with Angie.

  103. PrincessConnie1 says

    Billy Bob Thortan for sure
    His Actress ex Wife is Angelina Jolie-Pitt
    Both he and Angie are strange, I can see him that way. Not sure which of his many ex wives this blind is about though. Very sad.

  104. mermaidh2 says

    Billy Bob
    Cynda Williams?

    Clues: “Bad Groom” – Bad Santa, ex Angie going through divorce, they were into S&M/bloodplay.
    I actually am surprised by this. I thought Angie was the one who initiated the kinky violent stuff. This woman should speak up…nobody should get away with straight up ABUSE.

  105. wfreshie says

    through process of elimination some have o wives some have 1…..first thoiught sean penn, but nobody would be surprised!…..then I though nicholas cage but patricia arquette was acting before she met him,

    going with michael douglas

  109. banjogirl says

    Billy Bob. Famous ex: Angie.

    Clues: Bad (to the bone)

    Optional: Not surprised at all. There’s an eerie undercurrent to him onscreen that’s no method acting.

  110. angrybird says

    Billy Bob Thornton

    Not sure which wife.

    The clue that sticks out is the hand gripping the arm, which is eerily similar to one taken of Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie. He was holding her arm in a similar grip and clutching her to him so tightly. They both looked spaced out on something in the pic.

  111. LC1216 says

    Billy Bob not cruel???? Are you kidding me? The way he treated and just up and dumped Laura Dern while she was away, and found out on the news that he married Angelina? Talk about cruel. So no…NOT Billy Bob. He’s horrible and it’s not a shock.

    The girl in the pic from behind, looks like Scarlet Johanssen’s back of the head. Ryan Reynolds.

  112. ohboyohboy says

    Actor: Billy Bob Thornton

    Actress: Toni Lawrence (2nd wife) ??

    Not surprised. He ‘s always had a penchant for drugs ie. coke, ecstasy and the abuse claims also no shocker

  114. northofyou says

    I never understood why so many women were attracted to Billy Bob. He’s so creepy. Now hearing this story, he seems even creepier. Why marry a guy like that?
