Shaking Her Money Tree

money tree 5[Blind Gossip] Why in the world would someone voluntarily walk away from millions of dollars to which they are legally entitled?

In this case, it’s because the husband didn’t want his ex-wife spilling his secrets!

She’s known about his gay hookups for years – since even before they were married – but during the divorce she decided to use them as a weapon. She wielded those secrets like a club. Basically, if he didn’t agree to back off and and stop shaking her money tree, she was ready to spill all beans in a way that would make him look like a perverted chronic cheater and make herself look like the heartbroken victim of his cruelty.

He knows that this was not an idle threat. She is the one who leaked one of his affairs to the press. He knows that she would do it again in a heartbeat. Or a song. Or four songs. Or forty songs.

He knows that if he publicly accused her of having her own affairs during the marriage, she would have feigned innocence and declared it a retaliatory move on his part. He has seen first-hand just how easy it is for her to play the innocent victim, to lie about relationships, and to sway public support to her side.

That is why he chose to walk away and leave those millions on the table.

    [Optional] I think the smartest thing of all is for everybody to be be open and honest. It’s 2016, and of course we’ve already heard plenty of Gavin’s extracurricular activities. Why not just come out? I bet it would be very liberating. And a lot cheaper than this type of payout!

    Gavin Rossdale

    Gwen Stefani

    The first thing I thought when read about this was that he has deep, dark secrets to hide. They must be pretty bad for him to walk away… so yeah, wise choice.

    Gavin and Gwen. No prenup, so by Calif law he was entitled to half of all she made during the marriage (he was actually more famous for about a minute when they first got together but she long ago eclipsed his success). Instead he agreed to a much more modest cut of the assets.
    She did an interview not too long ago in which she said she wished she could tell everything bc it was “so juicy,” but she had to think about the kids. Even then I thought that was a veiled threat to him.

    [Optional] Do you think he was smart to walk away… or should he have fought for the money? Everyone already knows, he isn’t hiding anything…so he was crazy to just cave, but oh, well.

    I don’t think he should be embarrassed about his sexual orientation and it’s already well known because he confirmed his relationship with Marilyn before

  18. LeeLee12345 says

    Most definitely Gavin & Gwen.

    Walk away, man. You can certainly make your own money.

  21. Maurelle says

    Husband: Gavin Rossdale
    Wife: Gwen Stefani

    He is entitled to 50/50 but “Rossdale agreed to an unequal split of property so Stefani will end up with more”.

    Probably smart to walk away. I don’t think she’s as sweet or innocent as she appears. From the PR w/ b-friend Blake, interviews, and photo ops, she wants to show how she was the committed wife/mother who was done wrong. All this PR is probably her calculated, offensive move and Gavin never stood a chance.

  22. Summer says

    Gavin and Gwen,
    She will use it again and again until you take the power back by just coming clean to the public, so she can’t blackmail you.

    Smart to walk away from the $$$…save himself from the non-stop speculation from the press and to save his career

  29. sassygurl1987 says

    Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani. She’s worth more and they live in California.

  31. bananas says

    Gavin R
    Gwen S
    Depends how badly he was misbehaving in the side..evidently it was pretty bad.

  33. tellmemore says

    If this is Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, then no, he should just go away. She earned the vast majority of her money before they got married, and he cheated on her – apparently multiple times.

  34. kcphilly says

    Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani

    Probably a smart move to walk away from the money. Would have been smarter not to have affairs in the first place though.

  38. tellmemore says

    Never mind – this is Gwen and Gavin. Well, I guess if he doesn’t want the information to be told he’s doing what he needs to do. She’s apparently been through a lot of humiliation in this divorce, and family secrets don’t have to be kept if people are no longer family.

  40. TulipInBloom says

    Gwen and Gavin. Why are people so blind to her? The more I learn about her the less I like her.

  41. stolidog says

    Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rosedale.

    Optional: no, he was stupid to walk away from the money but it’s because he, like so many other celebrities, live in a bubble and are completely unaware of what the public thinks of them and knows about them. If he was self-aware he would have known that nobody would have been shocked if it was revealed he had 10,000 gay hookups while he was married.
    should have taken the money….

  46. Carolina Girl says

    Gwen and Gavin

    He is getting what he deserves. Why should he get her money when it is his fault the marriage is over? She has 3 kids to support.

  47. throwsumshade says

    Gavin and Gwen. Why would he walk away from all that cash, since he really doesn’t have a real career anymore anyway? Or does he even have a job? Gay rumors have dogged him forever, so who cares at this point. Blake better watch it!

  49. fishfish123 says

    Gavin Rossdale & Gwen Stefani

    I was wondering what the deal with that divorce settlement was!

  50. alittlebird says

    Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani

    I’m surprised their marriage lasted this long. They are both fools and she’s a manipulative, shamelessly self-promoting idiot.

  52. oneup2back says

    Sounds like he didn’t see that coming! Gwen Stefani has a few aces to play in the divorce…..

  56. Laughing1 says

    Good ol’ Gwen Stefani has really turned sour. On the other hand, they never should have probably married in the first place…….

  57. cadaver11 says

    James Taylor for husband.

    Carole King or Carly Simon for wife.

    I’m probably way off but sometimes it is for the best to walk away.

  60. Dandilion says

    Ehmm why are you sympathetic to Gavin.. they had a marriage, family but he was jealous of her.. he was critical, cold, trampled on her love, kindness and refused to compromise, love Gwen as an equal.. wife .. be seen with her and their children unless she coaxed and pleaded with him, he’s not deserving of her sympathy, frankly, most of that money is for her children and she earned it… What a tormenting jerk of a husband he was, his hidden daughter has to live on only daddy’s cash

  63. Goodgrief says

    Gwenie and Gavin, I would have fought for it. I wouldn’t care about the crap she flung at me. People already know it anyway.

  66. Amityvillain says

    Husband: Gavin Rossdale

    Wife: Gwen Stafani

    [Optional] Do you think he was smart to walk away… or should he have fought for the money? Depends on what he wants. Dignity and privacy and the ability to raise his kids without everyone bombarding them, or money. I think he chose wisely.

  68. boyzmom says

    Obviously Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. I think that it was smart to walk away…mostly for the sake of the kids. A messy, public fight and divorce can’t be easy on children (who are also in the public eye themselves). I see a lot of therapy in their future.

  70. gingercat says

    Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Guess I was naive thinking he was just being a mature adult about the whole thing!

  71. spunkie brewster says

    Gavin Rossdale
    Gwen Stefani
    Idk seems awfully dirty of her to to this after her tacit approval of his extramarital affairs

  73. Incuriosity says

    Husband: Gavin Rossdale

    Wife: Gwen Stefani

    [Optional] Walk away, keep your conscience clean.

  79. sweetnews says

    Gavin
    Gwen Steffani

    Although I DO NOT condone cheating, she should have not married him knowing his past and if she told the media before and threat to do so again it makes HER looks like she isn’t thinking about how this effects the kids. Hopefully he can get his life back on track and be true to himself, clearly he wasn’t happy with GS. She should have left him years ago, she acts like bouncing back after 3 kids was easy with Blake…we know that is fake.

  80. ErinB61 says

    Gavin Rossdale
    Gwen Stefani

    Of course he was smart if he didn’t want those rumors confirmed.

  82. everclaire says

    He probably just wants to be as far away from her as possible. Don’t blame him.

    Gavin & Gwen, obviously.

  84. lovesboating says

    Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.
    Since he doesn’t want his secrets to come out, I guess he made a smart decision. But since people already know he’s been with a guy, he could’ve just let her spill his secrets (or told his version beforehand) and gotten some money.
    I wish people would just be who they are. I’m sure it’ll be easier for them that hiding, sneaking around, bearding, letting others threatened them, etc.

  86. anakamila says

    Husband: Gavin Rossdale

    Wife: Gwen Stefani

    [Optional] Do you think he was smart to walk away… or should he have fought for the money? He was right to walk away. He needs to go on with his life.

  88. SilentStar says

    Gwen and Gavin. If they have both been unfaithful during the marriage, and Gwen has known about his gay hookups all along, it does seem unfair for her to use her greater popularity to control him.
    …or is it possible that he thinks he can make do with his smaller (but still sizeable) fortune, and knows that fighting over money he doesn’t need will only end up screwing up his kids? I don’t know anything about Gavin Rossdale, but wouldn’t it be nice if he is merely being decent.

  89. Jester says

    Gavin and Gwen, for sure! I just read that he got less than half of the money they had together.

    I think he was smart to walk away from the money in this settlement, but who’s to say that one of his male ‘friends’ doesn’t spill the beans?

  91. coey17 says

    Husband- Gavin
    Wife- Gwen

    If she has tons a dirt he doesn’t realeased than yeah it was a good idea

  93. jeanmarieok says

    Obv Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale

    If he’s got plenty of his own money, probably it was worth it. How much money would be enough to walk away though.

  94. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani. Smart to walk away. Plus, I’m sure he has enough money of his own.

  98. JerzeyJenn says

    Husband: Gavin Rossdale

    Wife: Gwen Stefani

    Of course he was smart…lol
    Gwen said during a recent interview if she spilled the beans…oh would they be “J.U.I.C.Y”!!$!!
    Everyone knows he’s bisexual…just didn’t know he was a serial cheater..yikes…the juicy stories she must be dangling over his head to make him walk away from millions….I figured something like that was up when I read details of their divorce settlement today.
