Criss Angel sued for divorce

By Alexandra Heilbron on July 5, 2007 | 37 Comments


Criss AngelCriss Angel’s estranged wife is suing for divorce. Joanne Sarantakos is accusing Angel of mental cruelty and abandonment. Sarantakos was seen in the first season of Criss Angel Mindfreak, Angel’s show on A&E, but did not appear in the second season. She’s accusing Cameron Diaz of coming between them, although by all accounts, it appears that Joanne and Criss were separated. Her lawyer, Dominic Barbara, says that Diaz will be subpoenaed. However, Angel, 39, claims he and Diaz are just friends. He and Joanne, 37, have been married for five years and have been together a total of 15 years.

    If he was divorcing his wife to marry Paris Hilton, THEN you’d have a story…

    I think his wife needs to move on… she must be a really headcase if she can’t get on with her life. Safe to say… in my opinion, that Chris Angel is super hot!!! but common… can she not find someone else that will want to be with her instead of degrading herself with these silly acusations… Boo Hoo… 😛

    were you born yesterday? they had a prenuptial no doubt. that’s why she HAS to sue him to get some money in the settlement.

    I laughed when he was on Oprah.

    I’m a huge Criss Angel fan. Yes, Joanne was in season one but never during the little snippet interviews did it mention that Joanne was his wife. She was always “Criss’ Girl”. I didn’t even realize he was married. I think she should just move on. I think she’s only sueing him because now he’s worth something unlike when she first started dating him.

    Agree with AZ!!

    why So critical of all the celebrities people? and against Paris hilton. we all made her famous by making her book the best seller , watching her prono 4 times, copying Thats HOT! .. c’mon take it easy and learn to like the celebrity drama or Dont click on the celeb gossip when u see it. why read it then get all heated up. Thats not HOT!

    What a bunch of hypacrits some of you posters are! Why did you bother to click on this link if you haven’t any intrest in Mindfreak?
    If you rather Paris Hilton than disappear and find a Paris blog.

    Criss is an amazing entertainer and I truly am blown away by some of his work and I think Hammy is pretty terrific, too! Criss is also a guy who sleeps, eats, pees and everything else that other people do. His personal life is none of my business and I couldn’t care less about celebrity gossip. As to Paris – I never read her book, I never watched her porn and I wouldn’t recognize her if I bumped into her. Yup, sounds like star quality to me!

  16. Ned Flanders • July 8, 2007 @ 2:41 AM

    I’m glad to hear he eats and pees.

    Do you people have no lives ?

  18. Ned Flanders • July 8, 2007 @ 12:47 PM

    “Do you people have no lives ?”

    That’s a pretty heady question for someone named “Anonymous!”

  19. Rose • July 8, 2007 @ 3:41 PM

    whatever their FAMOUS not US!!!

  20. Anne • July 8, 2007 @ 9:10 PM

    I love Criss and it doesnt matter to me if he is married , divorced , single, gay , etc

    Please, keep yourself busy talking about the useless Paris Hilton. Leave Criss alone!

  21. Bonnie • July 9, 2007 @ 6:07 AM

    I didn’t realize he was such a geezer!

  22. Nancy • July 9, 2007 @ 3:49 PM

    Did someone say Criss Angel is gay? His wife needs to just stop the games. It’s over! Take him for half, as I am sure there was NO pre-nup, as he was NOT famous 5 years ago. As for you, anonymous… you probably own two copies of Paris’ book, watch her porno everyday, and wish that you could be walking down the same street she is drunk driving on so you COULD bump into her!!

  23. missdiva • July 9, 2007 @ 11:39 PM

  24. Nancy • July 10, 2007 @ 5:57 AM

    Money changes people. That is why celebs marry each other. If they fall in love when they are average people and then become rich, they will likely have nothing but problems; but if they fall in love after they are already rich, then the money will not change them.

  25. TrishaD • July 12, 2007 @ 11:53 PM

    Globel warming? Come on, obviously your just as interested in whats going on with celeb gossip to be on here posting your dim wit comments! Right? lol…

  26. Nancy • July 17, 2007 @ 1:24 AM

    TrishaD…….you should be in school learning how to spell instead of getting involved in adult conversations. Adults spell it like this, GLOBAL!!!……..lol

  37. moncler uomo • November 15, 2014 @ 2:14 AM

    I use iphoto among my very own wife’s imac and also my mac book. I down load the actual images on my macbook, work with these people, then export these people employing a UNIVERSAL SERIES BUS to put back safe-keeping in the laptop computer. Do they offer a way to do this using “dropbox” while using finder?
