And Valerie Bertinelli separated from Eddie Van Halen in 2001 and divorced in 2007 because of his cocaine addiction and because he wouldn’t stop smoking even though he had oral cancer and losing a third of his tongue.
Her book was a great read; couldn’t put it down. (Losing It)
She was EXTREMELY kind to Eddie, all things considered. I read it after I kicked out my own drug-abusing, low-life of a husband, so I could relate...except I wasn’t a Ba-Zillionaire, LOL!
I wouldn’t have been so kind if I had written a Memoir of those days. ;)
