Lesser Affleck Jumps on the Divorce Train

August 4, 2017 | celebrity | Elliot Wolf | 0 Comments

Seems successful men can’t win in every category. Casey Affleck recently won an Academy Award only to lose in his marriage with Summer Phoenix. There should be some type of warning against marrying women named after seasons. Like every other American divorce, they don’t have a real reason for separating. But my honest guess is the pile of paid-out-of-court sexual predator settlements might have something to do with it. In Hollywood, success comes when you take it, that’s when you make it. That same rule of thought doesn’t apply to the women you meet in Hollywood, Casey. Because when you take it, the only thing you’ve made is a situation with follow up police interrogations. They were married 10 years, which is practically all eternity by today’s standards. The split leaves behind two kids, ages twelve and nine. Just in time to miss their recreational little league games. Making them choose which parent to hate and blame for the remainder of their lives. 

The infamous Oscar curse has struck Casey Affleck. The 41-year-old actor, who won an Academy Awards earlier this year for his work in “Manchester by the Sea,” is getting a divorce.Coincidentally, Affleck is the latest actor to face divorce proceedings after winning Oscar gold. Reese Witherspoon, Nicholas Cage, , Kirk Douglas, Sam Mendes and Sandra Bullock are just a few Academy Award winners whose marriages ended shortly after they took home their Oscars. Theories of an Oscar curse are believed to date back to the 1930s.

There might be an actor curse when it comes to winning prestigious awards. An Oscar loosely translates to the tangible manifestation of choosing your work over your significant other. Casey Affleck is used to winning over the years. With 65 awards behind him, one loss in his personal life shouldn’t shake him up too much. Ben Affleck agrees. Women don’t seem to understand that successful men need to make sacrifices. So missing that shopping trip to Pier One to look at unnecessary overpriced home goods isn’t a reasonable excuse to ask for a divorce. But kicking him to the curb for having a libido that puts Quagmire to shame is. Giggity. Hope the slew of trophies keep his bed warm at night for the end of both summers, this season and his wife.
