Bill Murray's Wife Vilifies Her Husband, but It Looks Like She's Got Plenty of Problems of Her Own
GlennSacks.com ^ | 6/11/08 | Glenn Sacks

Recently Jennifer Butler Murray, actor Bill Murray's wife, filed for divorce, accusing him of "drug abuse, sex addiction and physical violence towards her during their 11-year marriage." I have no idea as to the veracity of these claims, but it certainly appears that Jennifer has some problems of her own. According to this recent New York Post story:

Jennifer Butler-Murray has gotten a reputation in her suburban Charleston, SC, neighborhood as an avid drinker who gets "physical" with her children and gets into bizarre police incidents.

On March 17 of this year, Butler-Murray allegedly got drunk and two of her kids ran over to a neighbor's house for help, according to a report filed with the Sullivan's Island Police Department.

The trouble started after a witness saw her shouting loudly at one of her kids, the report said. Cops went to her home to investigate.

"I spoke with [her] and advised her of the complaint," the responding officer wrote. "The w/f [white female] seemed to be very impaired and didn't want me on her property anymore, she slammed the door and I left the residence."

Later, a neighbor called cops saying Butler-Murray's kids had come to his home seeking help.

"I then had the complainant meet me at the police station to talk with the juveniles . . . They informed me that their mother had been drinking heavily and had [become] physical with them," the report said.

It's certainly not uncommon for a vindictive wife to publicly vilify her soon-to-be-ex-husband, only for it to turn out that she's the one with the problems, not him. We'll see.

Also, note the double standard in treatment by the police. She's drunk and abusive and slams the door in the cop's face, and the cop says he left because--get this--she "didn't want me on her property anymore." No kidding. One thing's for sure--men who are reading this, don't try that stunt on a cop yourselves.

Thanks to Wayne Swanson, a reader, for the story.

Bill needs a good lawyer and private detective if he hasn’t already got one.

Didn’t he realize how crazy she was? Why would he continue to let her treat his children that way? Why would he continue to breed with her?

That jumped out at me too. I don't know if a double standard towards sex was the root of it but I've never heard of anyone getting the cops to go away like that.

Carl Spackler:
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

Nobody ever gets drunk on March 17!

She sounds like a gold digger who found out after the marriage that the mine was tapped out.

Remember Bill, when you get married you lose your bullocks and when you get divorced you lose your arse.

I doubt it. It is not against the law to be drunk in your home.

This writer appears to be a hack hired by Bill Murray.

It's easy. Ask the cop if he has a warrant for your arrest. He/she won't or they wouldn't be asking to speak with you. When it is obvious they don't, tell them to get off of your property and shut the door. Never, ever, allow them inside without a search warrant or step outside "for officer safety". Tell them if they don't feel safe, they can leave; and then shut the door.

That’s true. I hadn’t looked at it that way. Don’t they have probable cause when it’s a domestic disturbance situation and just come on in?

The article did not mention a "domestic disturbance".

There are some states which basically mandate the the cops take someone into custody on a domestic violence type complaint, but I would suspect that many of them might be unconstitutional if properly challenged. Where is the probable cause absent some physical injury?

March 17, St Patties Day:

Oh, he doesn’t smell like Irish Spring,
And he never taught me anything,
But still I slap my chest and sing -
Of My Drunken Irish Dad.

Oh, his face looks like a railroad map,
And he never shuts his freakin’ trap...
But all the ladies catch the clap
From your Drunken Irish Dad.

Ask a Hennessey, Tennessey, Morrison,
Shaughnessy, Reardon, and Rooney...
They’ll tell you the same
McNulty, Mulrooney, and Connor and Clooney,
All feel the same mixture of pride and of
shame.

Finnegan, Hannigan, Kelly, and Flanagan.
Look to the ground while their dad passes by
Cafferty, Rafferty, Joyce and O’Lafferty,
Fight for his honor and then start to cry!

Oh, we Irish lads are all infirm,
And our moods infect us like a germ
‘Cause we’re all the spawn of a pickled sperm...

- (And we don’t tan well either...) -

...From a Drunken Irish Dad!!

The article did not mention a "domestic disturbance".

The article is typically sparse on details. But it does start with this...

The trouble started after a witness saw her shouting loudly at one of her kids, the report said.

Pretty thin IMO but the next thing they discover for themselves is that she's very intoxicated.

Where is the probable cause absent some physical injury?

I agree and I'm not supporting the idea that they ought to have the authority to barge right in without a strong cause. I just thought that they do with the blessings of the courts.
