Irving successfully contested their prenuptial agreement, which had reportedly been scribbled on a napkin.

    The wives deserved everything since they stood by their man before they were Stars.

    Golddiggers all of them. Women should get jobs and stop being lazy and staying at home waiting for the husband to make all the big bucks then spend their days at the spa and lounging around.

    INSTEAD, they should go out in the world, yes have their kids too of course, but get real jobs, be successful and enjoy all the good things in life because they worked and earned it instead of living off some rich man.

    wrt to Mel and his millions, Mel I think your wife ( sans rose coloured glasses) finally saw what we all saw a long time ago. Living with a drunken anti- semetic boor does eventually bother the most dotting wife. Well Mel you can take it like a man and blame yourself or you can always use your secret weapon and always blame the ” Jews”.
