They say that betrayal always comes back into a person’s life like a boomerang. Victims of cheaters rely on this rule – it is important for them that the unfaithful partner understands how wonderful life was before going to the left. Is it an act of revenge or simply a desire to establish justice – everyone looks at the situation as they want.
The spouses of these stars witnessed retribution – many, by the way, had nothing to do with it. It’s just that circumstances developed in such a way that one betrayal (or a series of betrayals) led to scandals, showdowns, and loss of work and reputation. If the heroes of the collection had remained faithful, no trouble would have happened to them.
Johnny Depp
If Johnny had not left Vanessa Paradis for Amber Heard, then he would not have lost a couple of years defending his honor and reputation. Before the start of the trial, the actress did everything to destroy her ex’s career. However, the court ultimately sided with Depp.
Armie Hammer
Armie Hammer became one of the disgraced stars after an unpleasant “intimate” scandal. The truth about his adventures was revealed when he accidentally mixed up the contacts of his wife and his mistress. His wife divorced Hammer, and quite serious accusations rained down on the actor from numerous girls. I had to forget about a successful career.
Meg Ryan
The rom-com star was married to Dennis Quaid. But after a couple of years of marriage, Meg began an affair with Russell Crowe. For some time, the Ryan-Quaid couple found themselves in the center of attention of the “yellow press”. The actress was condemned for destroying her own family and choosing to remain silent rather than explain herself to the public. When the scandal calmed down, Meg Ryan for some reason stopped getting leading roles.
Jesse James
Millionaire and TV personality Jesse James was the husband of Sandra Bullock. The couple got married, adopted a child and seemed to be living happily ever after. However, after four years of marriage, it was revealed that Jesse had been cheating on his wife for a long time. The scandalous news quickly spread around the world. Bullock’s fans and her colleagues spoke out against James. His new shows invariably failed – he had to change his occupation to a less public one.
Rupert Sanders
Director Rupert Sanders was “canceled” for his affair with Kristen Stewart, who starred in his “Snow White and the Huntsman.” At the same time, Rupert was married to model Liberty Ross, and Kristen was in a relationship with Robert Pattinson. The public did not like the “double game” of the stars. The Twilight star got less than her chosen one. During the divorce, Sanders’ wife deprived Sanders of custody of their children and joint property, and his career began to slide downward.
Ryan Phillippe
Ryan Phillippe was very popular in the 90s, but over time his wife Reese Witherspoon overtook him. The actor was noticed only after the news about his affair with colleague Abbie Cornish. For almost two years, Reese endured infidelity, and then finally filed for divorce. Philip hoped that he would finally emerge from his wife’s shadow. But after the family scandal, the directors were even less willing to make contact with the star.
Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson lived with Robin Moore for almost 30 years and raised seven children. The actor was “switched”, and he ran away from his family with the Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva. After just a year of dating, the couple broke up due to abuse from Gibson. The ex-wife took away Mel’s fortune, and the offended mistress took away his reputation.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Maria Shriver helped her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger build a political career (she is a relative of the Kennedy family). The actor decided to thank his wife by cheating – the truth about her was revealed only many, many years later. Shriver learned that her housekeeper-mistress and her husband’s illegitimate son had lived next to her for 20 years.
Naturally, after the divorce, Arnold began to have problems with finances, new contracts and influence in political circles.
Gerard Pique
After the news about the betrayal, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique had a hard time. Fans, colleagues, and old acquaintances took up arms against him. The deceived Shakira promised to do everything to destroy the career of her unfaithful husband. So far, Pique is being covered by coaches and PR people, but it seems that the singer will definitely keep her word.
