9 Sweet Celebs Who Married Awful People

You might think that just being famous grants you access to a fairytale romance, but that’s not always the case. Unfortunately, just like in real life, the sweetest celebrities have ended up marrying the worst humans. The saying “love is blind” is true for many of us, but these stars stayed married to folks who had issues with infidelity, control, abuse and more. Here are all the top famous couples that the public isn’t afraid to play the blame game with.

1. Sandra Bullock

A beloved Hollywood staple, Miss Congeniality once thanked her ex-husband Jesse James at the 2010 Oscars. Her teary-eyed speech didn’t look so great once people got wind of the news that her hubby was cheating on her with a bunch of women. That’s not even the worst part — one of them has a serious Nazi regalia collection and James himself has been linked to Nazi-related art. Yikes!

2. Kim Kardashian

Before Kanye, Reggie and Kris, Kim Kardashian was married to a guy called Damon Thomas. At the young age of 19, Kim eloped with Damon. Four years later, they broke up. According to court documents, Kardashian claimed that Thomas, who was 10 years older than her, isolated her from her friends and family and tried to convince her to drop out of college. According to Kim, he was also violent. There were episodes when he punched her, slammed her against walls and pulled her hair, as well as encouraging plastic surgery.

3. Paul McCartney

When Heather Mills and the former Beatle member divorced in March 2008, she tried to get her hands on $250 million. The Justice who presided over the split said that she made “ridiculous and exorbitant” requests, including $400,000 a year for private flights, $80,000 for wine and $250,000 for clothes. Although she was awarded $48.6 million, she still insulted him on TV, calling him irrelevant and saying that the star had to do songs with Kanye and Rihanna so people would remember her.
