| Ashton tweeted this late yesterday |
Demi Moore has announced she is ending her six year marriage to Ashton Kutcher, 33. The 49-year-old actress released a statement yesterday. Read below:
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation'.
@Demi Morre you are the Best........You wud find love again.....dont worry...........Or you declare Lesbo.....just hvin d feelin and movin on wt your life,,takin good care of you kids........you can go Marry @Ellen de-generes....
ReplyDeleteoh wow! wats dis world turning into? no respect for marriage. now people just want to tag themselves as been married ......its a shame
ReplyDeleteAshton sure had it coming! Goodluck to both of them
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. Oh well, Hollywood marriages don't tend to last. With all due respect Linda, I think your comment about being relieved for Ashton is kind of inappropriate. The guy knew how old she was when he chose to marry her. As far as we know, Demi didn't put a gun to his head when he decided to be with her. How do you know he even wants kids? Its not nice when we make assumptions about peoples' relationship and life choices. He ho, you're entitled to your opinion.
ReplyDeleteits about time.
ReplyDeletealso Demi should grow up and ´pick on someone her own size´
no Linda make no apologies...it is sad they had to end but cute Ashton gots to make those pretty Kutcher babies..loool.
ReplyDelete'at least he can marry a younger woman and have kids of his own'.i dont think that's a fair comment,afterall nobody force d boy na!He entered into the marriage korokoro knowing she already had grown-up kids and was past child-bearing.Even young couples in their 20's divorce.I think she took a chance at love,it lasted 6years, they just grew apart and the only respectable option left for her was to walk away honourably!beta than being unhappy if u ask me
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda sad, I was rooting for them.
ReplyDeleteP.S Ashton if you cared so much about the institute of marriage u would not have been with that other chick, so SHUT UP!

Relieved?
ReplyDeleteWhat a ridiculous thing to say.
He CHOSE to marry Demi
Secondly not every person who enters into a marriage intends to have children,
In fact with the over population of the world, couples should be mandated to adopt existing children.
Furthermore,
sexism and Ageism is a bitch sha.
You are 32 years old and unmarried, you should probably be careful in how you go about throwing stones particularly in a society such as Naija. Where old men (precisely the age of Demi) are more likely to marry 20 something year olds (Ashton).
But you probably wouldn't have a problem with that would you.
Educate yourself on patriarchy.
Yeah, I read this on yahoo. You are really on top of things Linda. I think that 16 years gap between a man and woman is little too much. Hope they find happiness.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, I am relieved for him too.
ReplyDeleteYOUR RIGHT LINDA
ReplyDelete'hollywood' is a joke their marriage is not based on Biblical principles hence divorce is a norm for them
Haba Linda dat was mean!! U sure should have known dat b4 getting married to her. There is no excuse for infidelity.
ReplyDeleteMeant he should have known that.
ReplyDeleteSAD. COME ON ASTON AND DEMI, THERE'S A CHANCE THEY CAN WORK THINGS OUT . HOLLYWOOD SHOULD BE CALL DIVORCEWOOD. STUPIDITY.
ReplyDeleteNo linda you are not worse for saying that. But it is the truth. Better for him.
ReplyDeleteVery sad news indeed. Though with the same spirit i wish them luck.
ReplyDeletelin i agree with u totally, i just felt he lost his 20's to that mirage they call marriage. was tellin my friends the other day that it may have been that Demi's daughter had started eyeing Ashton and u neva know, maybe she'd caught them lol. good for him though
ReplyDeleteLinda why are you relieved? Cuz Ashton told you he was forced into the marriage?
ReplyDeleteYou know we younger women are just relieved when a man who married an older beautiful woman is back on the rack.
linda don't feel bad its the truth, these ladies have lived fulfilling lives but still they want to screw a young mans life up, imagine hoe ashton's mother feels thinking that she will never have grand kids cause he married an old hag and the worse thing is that she kept saying in interviews that she was going to still have kids with him. abeg next story
ReplyDeleteHello linda,for someone who is 32 and not yet married(I'm not against bn a spinster),your comment is quite interesting for want of a better word.(Sigh!!)When we as women begin to respect other women then we would be able to attain higher goals without necessarily back stabbing ourselves.its funny how u blv he can move on to sm1 his own age.so just saying,he was right to have broken the vows of his marriage??and its also ok if the man is 70yrs old and the lady is a teenager??interesting!he saw her,married her and she looks damn hot for her age so what can it be?do u know the saying that "if he cheats on you with her,he will cheat on her with you?"So if u get married,would it be acceptable for your husband to go for a younger person?its tough isn't it Linda?men just keep getting away with everything considering when marriages fail even our own womenfolk judges and crucifies each other.BTW,I hv bn happily married with 3kids for11years.but nt evry1 is lucky and we must learn to provide support groups for our women who have failed.have a good morning.
ReplyDelete@anon 2:26am tell them as it is o' wise one. Linda,this time your comment is 'one kind'.
ReplyDeleteI saw dat comin wen he joined d crew of two n a half men, kinda replacing charlie sheen,takin d footstep of charlie i say.nw watch out 4 d multiple women comin....
ReplyDeleteAs 4 demi while, all i can say is, it is well wit u. W@ wai u expectin gettin married 2 a younger man haba!in his early 20's d guy as hot blood flowin in him na......u guys even tried in hollywood 6yrs is golden 4 ur kinda of wedlock. GOODLUCK.
lmao @ the commentators blasting Linda.
ReplyDeleteHmmm*thinking* old boobie VS fresh milk..omo na fresh tinz all the way joor..but aston were boi u punked demi for 6yrs..chai u nor try o0.
ReplyDeleteits funny how people keep reminding linda that she's over thirty and not married....is that supposed to stop her from saying whatever she wants to say?or do people just think she wakes up feeling like a 19yr old married woman and as such she needs to be reminded...na wa o..lol
ReplyDeleteThe guy has finally realized he was being punk'd...seriously now what do you expect, Ashton is HOT and Demi was HOT.Hello!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe has gone 'GHOST'.."3RD FAILED MARRIAGE?" damn!!!.TAKE IT EASY demi..make u no go join patrick swarzy....
ReplyDeleteSometimes us women are our own worst enemies. A man cheated on his wife (the woman he married willingly and happily & knowing her age) leading to the break-up of his marriage. Yet you're ''relieved for him because he can now marry a younger woman and have kids of his own''. How insensitive! And did he tell you he wants kids?
ReplyDeleteI guess this news is not surprising giving the various stories that have been circulating lately. Still sad though. It's easy to do so, but perhaps we shouldn't judge others until we've walked in their shoes. By all accounts marriage isn't easy even if you're not a celebrity or Hollywood star.
GALORE U MUST BE A LESBIAN *PUKING IN MY MOUTH* EWWW
ReplyDeleteAya
ReplyDeletepost my freakin comment already.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Linda. I said the same thing when I posted this. I'm glad at least one of them started thinking realistically. Wow so third marriage failure for Demi. Thought it was second. Oh no.
ReplyDelete@Linda... That was quick of you. Kudos to you.
ReplyDelete@Linda again...People get into marriage for various reasons. Do not JUDGE people according to standards that are primarily yours which have been largely influenced by your environment.
@Ijeoma (Time for an Afrivolution)... Maybe you are married or not whatever age you are but it was really stupid of you to have said what you said about Linda and her age. You can make a point or express an opinion without making it personal and then try to make yourself out to be knowlegeable.
@ijeoma,I bet u picked up a dictionary to come up with this comment cos half the things here u do not even understand in what context u shud have used them.
ReplyDeleteDid u say not everyone goes into a marriage not wanting children? And we shud adopt existing children? If u understood ur patriarchy as u asked LI to do, mayb u'd hve learnt that as naija women, we are programmed to want kids. As a woman at all, ur body craves children. Or whr do u think being horny(pardon my spanish) comes from? Its to procreate. Nothing wrong with adopting but having ur own kids trumps adoption anyday.
What doeS LI's being 32 hve to do with older men marrying younger girls??? So u'd rather d woman was older like demi???
My conclusion, u're a 52 year old single mother of 5, tryin to get a 22 year old boy to marry you and demi was ur motivation so her divorce is heart wrenching for u cos u've finally come to d realisation that it aint gonna happen for u!

fuck demi and her old pussy. ashton deserves better jor
ReplyDeletewhat did she expect old woman like that marrying someone old enough to be her son usless woman mschew. she is already 50 and he is not even 35 yet nawa
ReplyDeleteIjeoma has already said what I would have said. Linda, how do you know he wants kids? I swear Nigerians need to stop being ignorant and myopic, thinking that oyibos/westerners reason like us. In this part of the world (USA), it is ok for a couple to want to be married and yet want no children. I know this is hard for most Nigerians and Africans to grasp but the entire world thankfully does not exactly center around our seemingly backward mindset. Ashton could end up with a much younger woman and still choose not to bear any kids. To have or not to have kids is a CHOICE and people's choices ought to be respected. I rather couples not have kids than have kids and live with them under the bridge, send them to become house boys and girls to the rich at such a young vulnerable age or send them to hawk goods on their heads between cars when they ought to be in school getting a basic education.
ReplyDeleteI agree with anonymous 2:26am, Linda mind your own business and stop making ridiculous assumptions!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that when men marry younger women no one bats an eyelid (or perhaps a mild grumble) but when it is the other way round and it fails tongues wag.
Good luck to Demi, the fact she's been married 3 times is not an issue; it didn't work out so? I think of all those who'd run a mile in the opposite direction if not for societal and financial issues.
divorce! divorce!! divorce!!! everywhere..obviously so many people are getting married for the wrong reasons and d other half are probably not looking properly before plunging forward to say "i do"
ReplyDeletemy marriage is just 4years...God, i will never be a divorcee in Jesus name.. my parents just celebrated their 35years marriage anniversary n theor ship is still sailing... that is d road i want to take..thank God so far my my marriage has been a blessing n so shall it continue to be...
Linda,I hope you know by Nigerian standards you are an older woman. So have fun throwing those stones.
ReplyDeleteI didnt think it will last.
ReplyDeletehttp://efemenaoreoluwa.blogspot.com/2011/11/message-to-african-american-women-you.html
Lol! you people should allow linda to be relieved now ahnahn! LMFAO!
ReplyDeleteAll of you yapping about what linda said about being relieved and Ashton wanting to have kids is the truth, don't crucify her, if you guys have been following thier marriage, it's no secret that Ashton wants to start having kids and it's not forth coming from Demmi, they've been trying for it since, if he loved her that much, why did he choose thier 6th wedding anivassery day to cheat on her? Is that how wedding anivessaries are celebrated now? Good radiance to bad rubbish. Pls spare me the sermon. Mchteeeeew

ReplyDeleteHugh hefner is single so demi moore,u can engage him.abeg make una leave the boy alone.God has delivered him.
ReplyDeleteYou are 32 years old and
ReplyDeleteunmarried, you should probably
be careful in how you go about
throwing stones particularly in a
society such as Naija. Where old
men (precisely the age of Demi) are
more likely to marry 20 something
year olds (Ashton)............................NOW THAT IS MEAN...
No love in hollywood. *sad*
ReplyDeletelinda u will lose my respect if u make that statement again that ashton will marry someone younger. you have spoken like my myopic ibo ex-girlfriend who refused to marry me because she's older. i need to invite you to the u.s. you shock me sometimes. segun(newyork)
ReplyDelete@ijeoma pls enlighten me, who decides how another person shld feel about "cougarish" relationbships? Linda didn't quite feel right abt it and thinks "Ashy" is finally a free man.That is her opinion and she is very much entitled to it. You on the other hand feel there was nothing wrong abt an older grandma dating a youngin. That is ur opinion and you are also entitled to it. The same stone u are accusing of her throwing, you also threw so pls GFOH.
ReplyDeleteLINDA IKEJI IS ACTUALLY 30 NOT 32.
ReplyDeleteAND WHO SAYS ASHTON DOES NOT WANT KIDS? WAS THAT THE REASON BRAD LEFT JEN FOR ANGIE WHO WAS PRO-KIDS? EVERYONE WANTS KIDS BIKO
Ive just gotta say this, and it doesnt concern the article in question, but peoples RUDENESS! First of all this isnt YOUR blog. Linda can write WHATEVER she wants to write. If you are gonna be so RUDE to talk about "youre 32 you shouldnt be talking like this cause you arent married" then YOU too are PART of the problem. Chai! African WOMEN especially. Stupidity all around! for you to come on here and post LONG LONG comments, what are YOU doing about YOUR life? or are you the type that will whore out yourself into a premature marriage only because you dont wanna be THIRTY TWO and unmarried? rubbish Africans...Ode....and P.S i dont know linda from adam, I dont comment often but the rudeness I read on here especially towards here is crazy..I know EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinions, but guys please be respectful. I know its not a natural trait for some africans but abeg wuna learn. merde!
ReplyDeletewhat linda is 30? then i'm typing this from my mama's womb
ReplyDeleteHollywood marriages sha! Ashton is a boy in a mans body, he is the most childish actor of all time. The marriage could not last with him the way he is. He is just an overrated actor jare. Demi ought to have found herself an older more matured man if she was looking for a man. Ashton was too young and maybe perfect for one of her daughters but I think the fact that he slept with someone else was just all that was needed to pack it up. So sad sha, I hope this does not mean another nollywood marriage is following suit cos Kim K. divorced, Kate Henshaw followed, Demi Moore then who?
ReplyDeleteA (Western) stand up comedian once said you get married and divorced 4 times.
ReplyDeleteOnce at 19 to your first sweetheart/puppy love.Then you realise you cant have kids with a kid and divorce him. Second in your twenties/thirties to the one you get your children with. You realise it was just the biological clock, he is a selfish so and so you wont spit on if he was on fire. Third in your fourties to the one you are sure you have been waiting for and fourthly at a much older, wiser age, and being a more realistic person to your companion for life.
I was laughing then, but with the rate of divorces (whether in the west or in Naija) am not laughing anymore.
But with Demi and Ashton I just had the feeling it wont last, and not because of the age thing per se...How can I put this: Well, she is not exactly Susan Sarandon and He is certainly no Tim Robbins...and they, with their gap, lasted 21 years!
p.s: Linda once you hit 30s and are truthful about your age, wear your armour and tin hat for saying your mind...na we know why mant Naija ladies in their 30s either use their football age (lol) or smile and 'claim' to have nothing to say on a controversial issue.
Mena
TGIF but for those intending to party this weekend do read ---> http://efemenaoreoluwa.blogspot.com/2011/11/gaga-about-popping-pills-at-strange.html
a beggie!!.. free Linda joor..na lie nuff oyinbos do want marriage and kids see how people went gaga for KimK's and the Royal wedding..how it works out na another story...
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I observe with Oyinbo people is as they get older the thought of adopting rather than bearing kids becomes attractive..but when younger most DO want kids..even the outlandish ones..look at Angela Jolin and Jordan(UK)
Marrying not to have kids!!..what a silly notion..pls one the reasons why we marry is for love and to herald in the next generation..if not u get ur money I got mine..why should we bother marrying??
I believe the union wouldn't have been an issue tho IF..Ashton already had kid/kids..
Linda, which planet are you on? Americans are not after babies like Africans? Do you have kids? So what if it happens to you? No way, you can never marry an old man???
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how people have redefined 'marriage'to 'Marry Again' What happened to all the sacred vows made on that day. Good Lord!!! Please help the young ones.
ReplyDeletein Naija its Kate Henshaw and now its grandma and son!!! Everyone is getting divorced, Wow!!!. it seems to be a norm these days....
ReplyDeleteLinda read that last line of yours and wonder why u r still single...SMH.
ReplyDeletelol yay aston kutcher is single so i can marry him now ,phew! lol jokes! but seriously why did you chet on demi now? i cant even marry u sef cos you would cheat on me! lol dreams.....
ReplyDeleteLinda Haba! I'm not into all that dating younger guys tinz but that was mean! Our love is over jarey, and don't call me! I no go pick! Hate u! :-|
ReplyDeletehmmmmmnn..ok so no smoke witot fire, der was rumors earlier of em divorcn n d said no.....wish em d bst demi maybe u shud chck ursef
ReplyDelete@anon 10.13
ReplyDeleteYour stupidity defies logic.
When you learn how to reason, you can try again.
till then ....
what is all this about younger guy and older lady? abeg, age shouldnt be issues to choose a partner, maturity and compatibility should be.
ReplyDelete@Linda, u live in a glass house called older women so dont throw stones.
Ok, I'm a woman and I support women...blah blah blah. But y is everyone goin on bout demi and no one for ashton? There r 2 pple in this matter you knw. So demi(old hag) decides to settle for a guy almost half her age, did she really think it would last forever? Some say she looks good for her age but do u knw how hard she works to keep that physique, let alone d endless shots of botox to hide lines and wrinkles. Why subject yourself to all that torture when u can easily meet and marry a man more your age who will not mind d aged look? Yes ashton saw her and married her but as the older party, she should've known better. Ashton was young and naïve, he'd probably idolized her as a child, mayb even had her poster in stip tease on his wall so marrying demi WAS an achievement for him. What was demi's excuse???
ReplyDeleteYeah mayb linda shudn't hve made ref to kids but I too am hugely relieved for the young lad. He was starting to look old sef, give him a few months with young hottt chics and u'll see d difference.
Lol @ hugh hefner comment, demi is too old for him sef, how do u think d man stays alive? Its young blood na. Lmao
Kudos linda, u're d original tafiaaaa
linda is 31, not 30 or 32.
ReplyDeleteAnd she has a right to her opinion
So just read that a psychic told demi to divorce ashton for d sake of her health. All u voltrons, defender of old mama youngie, when d virile boy is doing her strong thing, she will want to respond forgetting she can have heart attack. Lmao. Cut your coat according to your size or better still, choose your man according to your power. A word is enough for the wise
ReplyDelete@ijeoma, good heavens. Pls drop that dictionary and get a thesaurus. Stupidity and logic are antonyms so 1 should not qualify the other.
ReplyDeleteFor someone who thinks couples should be "mandated" to adopt children I can see you were born in the communist ages. Maybe even when new brides were "mandated" to sleep with patriarchs.
You are quick to insult others(linda ikeji) and one lil jab you cannot handle. I suppose coming to someone else's blog and condemning their person, when all they did was express their opinion about a public issue is very reasonable of you.
And you sign off saying "till then"! This is not tales by mooonlight era, its the 21st century. Blogs are real time, not telex/fax..till then! Absolutely ludicrous.
You want reasoning, maybe you should have addressed the issue and not delve into stupid matters
@nov19th...11.43am,u say demi is an old hag.???it wld be interesting to see you whn u hit the 40+.u say sheuses botox and works hard to look tht way,so how come u say she is an hag!verify usage andmeaning of the term hag.now all said,as human beings and esp as women,we must work hard to keep our bodies together.if you don't think so,then let your body go.stop nourishing ur body and soul and see what happens.guess we will be looking at the hag then(lol).and we all know nigerians go far and beyond,the only reason why we aren't botoxing is cos it hasn't been made readily affordable and available.I'm sure linda though good looking is also working at it.I am 39years old with kids and I do work very hard at staying beautiful.nothing good comes easy!as to the divorce saga,Demi moore has remained one of the scandal free hollywood artists and I believe we should applaud rather than insult the fact that she holds certain things sacred and important.irrespective of age,if ashton couldn't keep his pants on for one woman,he won't be keeping it on for another except he changes though.but I know my fellow african women will stay in marriage irrespectve of what goes on there-in.hopefully these ladies won't end up dead.have a lovely weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, imagine if your blood son comes home with a woman 16 years his senior, am sure many of you will change your tune sha
ReplyDeleteAge would always be a factor. And let me say when a woman is even 1 day older than the man that man has had it in his life it would never be the same as the woman would always want to show who is boss let us not deceive ourselves it is real take it or leave it.
ReplyDeleteAnd d comment of dis post just has to be uch,d 10.00 one sha o. The extra 10.13 should hav been saved for "awaiting reaction" lol.
ReplyDeleteLinda what happened to my comment??? As at yesterday afternoon no comment had been posted!!! So I thought I was the first :-(
