BILL MURRAY'S WIFE FILES FOR DIVORCE OVER ALLEGED ABUSE AND ADDICTION ALLEGATIONS

The wife of actor Bill Murray has filed for divorce after nearly 11 years of marriage, alleging he abused her and is addicted to marijuana and alcohol.

Jennifer Butler Murray filed divorce papers on May 12 in Charleston County.

She owns a home on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, where she lives with the couple's four children.

The complaint was first reported by US paper, ''The Post and Courier of Charleston.''

It also alleges frequent abandonment by the actor, who is known for his roles in movies such as "Lost in Translation," "Ghostbusters," and "Caddyshack" and who also appears in the new movie "Get Smart."

Bill Murray's lawyer wouldn't comment on the allegations, but said the entertainer "is deeply saddened by the break-up of his marriage."

Jennifer Murray's lawyer also said he had no comment.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement, which was filed as an exhibit with the divorce papers, before they married in 1997.

As part of the agreement, both waived their right to alimony or support if the marriage broke up.

However, Murray agreed to pay 7 million US dollars to his ex-wife within 60 days of a final divorce decree.

The complaint, which doesn't specify instances of Murray's alleged marijuana or alcohol use, alleges he would often leave without telling his wife and says he "travels overseas where he engages in public and private altercations and sexual liaisons."

It also alleges Murray physically abused his wife and last November "hit her in the face and then told her she was `lucky he didn't kill her."'

The documents obtained by The Post and Courier were sealed by the court last week.
