Bill Murray addicted to s-x and drugs, says wife

Bill Murray’s second wife, Jennifer Butler, has accused the actor of being an abusive husband and a marijuana and alcohol addict.

Butler claimed that Murray once told her she was “lucky he didn’t kill her.”

She filed for divorce in 2008, and obtained a restraining order against Murray that required him to behave appropriately during visits with their four children.

Butler also sought to prevent him from exposing the children to drugs or romantic affairs.

Murray has not commented on the allegations.

His first marriage also ended in divorce, following allegations of infidelity.

Over the years, Murray has been married twice, but his marriages endured difficulties ranging from an extramarital affair to a murderous claim.

Murray became a recognizable figure during “Saturday Night Live,” and his performance on the show earned him his first Emmy Award. Over the years, his mastery in show business has made him the recipient of different awards, including the Golden Globe and the British Academy Film Award.

Butler filed for divorce after nearly 11-years together on May 12, 2008, with different ugly claims. The entertainer’s wife tagged him as an abusive husband and a marijuana and alcohol addict.

However, the complaint alleged Murray physically assaulted his wife and threatened to kill her failed to sight instances of Murray’s marijuana and alcohol use. The actor’s attorney did not comment on Butler.

The restraining order against Murray aimed to restrict him from “interfering with, intimidating, or making abusive or threatening phone calls” to Butler or the children. But, Butler offered proper visitation for the actor so long as he behaved appropriately.

Butler, who described herself as a “devoted and faithful wife,” further sought to prevent the actor from exposing the children to drugs or his romantic affairs. The couple’s divorce became official on June 13, 2008.

Murray’s first wife, Margaret Kelly, was no stranger to the entertainment industry when she married the actor. She studied theater arts at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College before taking a job as a page at NBC.

According to news reports, she was a talented coordinator on “The Tonight Show” and “The Dick Cavett Show.” She reportedly started a cabin-inspired home goods store and forged a career in residential real estate while still married to Murray.

The now 71-year-old actor reportedly met his second wife while filming 1988’s “Scrooged.” They remained a loving pair raising their four sons together until the relationship went down the drain.

However, although the Hollywood movie star was unlucky in his marriages, he shared a relatively close bond with all his children, and they all have successful careers. Murray’s first child with Kelly, Luke, is an assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.

His second son, Homer, owns a popular restaurant in Brooklyn called 21 Greenpoint, but the actor’s kids with Butler are also successful in their respective careers.

Caleb is an actor and screenwriter, Jackson is a chef, Cooper is an actor, and Lincoln is an artist and model.

Despite the turmoil in his personal life, Murray has continued to have a successful career in Hollywood. He has starred in a wide range of movies, including “Groundhog Day,” “Ghostbusters,” and “Lost in Translation.”

In recent years, he has also taken on a number of roles on the small screen, including a guest appearance on the hit sitcom “Parks and Recreation” and a recurring role on the Netflix series “The Dead Don’t Die.”

It is unclear if Murray has addressed the allegations made by his second wife.
