Robin Williams to divorce

By Alexandra Heilbron on March 27, 2008 | 23 Comments


Robin WilliamsRobin Williams and his second wife, Marsha Garces Williams, are divorcing after she filed papers in a California court last Friday citing irreconcilable differences. It’s reported that his alcoholism led to the split. They first met when Marsha was working for Williams and his first wife, Valerie, as a nanny to their son Zachary. They married in 1989 and have two children together: daughter Zelda, 18, and 17-year-old son Cody. Marsha, 51, is asking to have Cody live with her, while 56-year-old Robin would be entitled to visits. She is also seeking attorney fees, spousal support and for their property to be divided.

    Will Heather Mills be representing her?

    word on the street is that the irreconcilable differences were his extreme B.O.

    Yeah August Rush said his B.O. really stunk up the joint! That’s why he was trying to escape. Can you blame him?

    Guess she was tired of being his nanny and wants to cash in.

    who could marry that unfunny man.
    he’s way to over the top and as hairy as a freaking chimp.
    anyone who could ever be sexual with him deserves loads of cash and free mental health check ups

    Yes, the snails of the world come out of their slime trail to offer an opinion of someone they know nothing about. Robin Williams is a funny and talented actor and like all others, he will expereince the ups and downs of life. How about you slugs get one too and just keep reading the trashy magazines and tabloids and I’m sure they’ll keep you happily informed about what’s supposedly going on with his life now.

    Can anyone of you imagine! Just think, IF you had the money he does, you’d be something instead of nothing and making up things you know nothing about!

    I totally agree with YuSuk as I am very fond of Robert Williams. He is a talented actor that has proven to be as human as everybody else is. He has made us laugh and cry, his comedy and his drama are incredible. Even the best actors (Oscar nominated) had their bad moments but that is part of life. Let’s be more understanding of other people’s problems and hope that things work out well for the sake of his children.

    Totally agree with YuSuk. Besides, there must have been love at some point, they have two grown children and she’s been with him for 19 years. How many other relationships last that long. I wish Robin well.

    Ya, well, I wish Robin would Bathe!!!

    i disagree with yusuk. this whole gossip thing wouldnt have a comment section if they didnt expect people to give their opinions on certain situations. just because you are inlove with smelly robin williams doesnt mean other people dont hate him. he smells in all aspects of the word. his drinking led to his divorce… so he caused his own divorce…

    drinking may be the only disease you get yelled at for having…

    robin williams sucks

  13. Alex • March 28, 2008 @ 3:51 PM

    Drinking isn’t a disease, it’s an action and it can be an addiction. But it’s not a disease, because when you have a disease, you can’t get over it by willpower. You can’t wake up one morning and say, I’m not going to have cancer anymore, whereas you can wake up and say I’m not going to drink anymore.

    Gotta love comment from anonymous posters… oooh! Since they’re anon, they must be true.

    Robin Williams is a great comic, and in his day a wicked wit. He’s had great movies, and he’s had bad movies. When visiting Vancouver, he’s often done stand-up on the fly at his favorite hangouts.

    He’s also had a hard road with alcohol, and previous to that cocaine. But even through all of that, he’s been a excellent father (his own kids say so).

    So – sorry to hear about the breakup, but in the end, Robin will come through with flying colors. Or he wont. In either case, it’s not up to us to deride him. Get a life, anonymous, and find some other place to spawn your crap.

    Have you been spying on me Poppa John? How did you know that I live in a glass house? 🙂 Oh, and extra pepperoni, please.

  16. Poppa John's in Exile • March 28, 2008 @ 5:31 PM

    I’m not Poppa John. And you’re not Nancy. I am very aware of your fondness for extra pepperoni. Very aware….

  17. Poppa John's in Exile • March 28, 2008 @ 7:07 PM

    LOL!!

  18. Nancy • March 28, 2008 @ 8:41 PM

    Shrooms please.

  19. June • March 29, 2008 @ 2:18 PM

    Whatever happened to “for better or worse”? It would have been nice to see them work it out. Of course, I am not Robin’s wife, so I have no idea what their relationship is like. I cannot judge, thats God’s job. It is very difficult to live in a fish bowl. I know I would not want my difficulties splashed all over the internet, magazines, tv etc. My mother always use to say, “People who live in galss houses, shouldn’t throw stones.”

    I got some Shrooms for Nancy nice and fresh from the grocery department! On Sale for 99 cents. Come down to my place we will cook them and inhale their intoxicating aroma’s! Anyone else for Shrooms?

    Your Hairy Banana has spoken Nancy!

    Next time he should keep it in his pants or he’s going to be an old, lonely man who nobody cares about. Proof that money doesn’t buy happiness.
