[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!

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.

TheSalmon says
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Weird marriage.
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

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.

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.

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.

Karprincess says
I change my answer to Gwen Steffani and Gavin Rosedale
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.
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?

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

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.
