Battery? Sexual abuse? Kidnapping? What the hell is this doing in family court?
—Bonnie Russell, activist
How could they be married for 20 years–a great husband and wife to each other. Then they get divorced. Suddenly he’s a pervert, a drug dealer. He’s doing all these horrible things. She’s an alcoholic, a drug dealer, and sleeping with everybody. Did this just happen in the last week or two? Mother Teresa does not marry Attila the Hun.
—John Nazarian, private investigator
