Even more shocking than the actual divorce is the allegations which prompted it; after 11 years of marriage Bill Murray’s wife has called it quits.

Unbeknownst to virtually everyone, the Oscar-nominated self-deprecating funnyman has more than a few skeletons tucked away in his closet, he has actual corpses.

Jennifer Butler Murray is suing the 57-year-old actor for divorce in South Carolina due to “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”

I know what you’re thinking: how can this possibly be the same guy who brought us such gems as Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day and Caddyshack?

Although these claims seem so completely unfounded, Jennifer insists they were among the reasons she felt obligated to move out of the couple’s home in 2006 for the sake of her four young children.

And, according to a May 12^th family-court filing in Charleston County, she has also requested a restraining order against her soon-to-be ex hubby. What’s more, the report states that Bill once “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’” WTF?!

Supposedly Jennifer is entitled to $7 million once the divorce is finalized, because of a prenuptial agreement. TMZ.com believes that she is expected to bring this matter up in court, to determine whether or not the pact is still legit.

On Thursday morning Bill’s lawyer came out of the woodwork to release the following testimony: “Bill Murray is deeply saddened by the dissolution of his marriage to Jennifer. Mr. and Mrs. Murray remain loving parents, committed to the best interests of their children. Mr. Murray asks that the public respect his family’s privacy at this difficult time.”

The sayings - comedians are the saddest people on earth and appearances can be deceiving should be tattooed on his forehead. Mr. Murray obviously has some serious demons eating away at him; therapy anyone?
