Diva in red Rose McGowan is said to be partially responsible for the breakup of Grindhouse co-director Robert Rodriguez’s 16 year-marriage. McGowan and Rodriguez’s affair on set was well known among cast and crew, and they often had private lunches together in McGowan’s trailer. When Rodriguez’s wife and mother of his five children found out she flipped and the two split up. Filming on the double-feature horror exploitation flick halted for a full month when Rodriguez’s home life fell apart as a result of his affair:Rodriguez and his spouse of 16 years, Elizabeth Avellan, raised five kids and worked together, with Elizabeth serving as his co-producer on “Grindhouse,” “Sin City,” “From Dusk Till Dawn,” “Desperado” and “Spy Kids.”
But the marriage exploded last April when Page Six reported that Rodriguez, 38, had begun a torrid romance with McGowan, the raven-haired, French-Irish minx once engaged to shock rocker Marilyn Manson and previously linked with Kip Pardue, Ahmet Zappa and Men’s Health stud Dave Zinczenko.
“It was the worst-kept secret on the set. They were going off to his trailer, having meals together,” our source said. “Rose thought some of the crew were treating her differently, and the attitude was, like, well what do you expect when you’re [bleeping] the director?”
In “Grindhouse,” Rodriguez’s homage to the cheesy sex-and-violence movies of the 1970s, McGowan plays a stripper who loses her leg and replaces it with a machine gun to battle flesh-eating zombies.
She and Rodriguez first met at Cannes in 2005. But until now the consequences of their shenanigans weren’t fully known. When the director “fell in love with his femme-fatale star . . . he broke up his marriage of 16 years . . . The production had to shut down for a month while he recovered,” Variety reports.
It’s not like I needed another reason to dislike haughty McGowan, but cheating so openly with her boss just cinches it for me. If his wife was working with him, McGowan was likely to have known her too, or at least to have met her on occasion. It takes two to cheat, but that’s still pretty low on McGowan’s part. What gets me is that the guy had five kids at home. Maybe he used the “my wife doesn’t understand me” bullshit that men pull when they can’t bother to work on their relationship and are distracted by a pair of tits.
Here are McGowan and Rodriguez together at the Grindhouse premiere after party. I’m sure that relationship is going to last.

That's too bad. I saw a news bit about him and his family and they seemed so happy. I guess barely anyone can stay married while working in Hollywood.

Yes, I knew for a long while, though I wasn't 100% sure until now it was McGowan he had been screwing. How pathetic, hope it was worth throwing your family away for. And what a total lack of class and integrity on her part.
Rodriguez is such a hack, and so is Tarantino....I won't be seeing this T&A-fest, Sin City was bad enough.

I am not taking sides here but he was the married one. He should have thought about his wife and kids before bumping uglies with another woman. But....she should have backed off as soon as she knew he was married

MissK, Elizabeth has been bumping uglies with all and sundry as well....but its not a blame game....I just dont like the whole "homewreaker" tag being bandied about when there was (dare I say) a mutual agreement in place.

The title of this thread bugs. This man destroyed his own marriage by having an affair with one of the actresses he was directing. Sure, Rose is a skank for having an affair with a married man, but does she have a past like Angelina, where she has a track record of going after married/involved men and getting a thrill out of ruining other women's relationships? If not, I place the blame mostly on Robert.

Its about the spotlight....who's in it and who couldnt care less....its surprising in a lot of cases (that I'm aware of anyway) who, is who, and which is which.
Seriously mate, you would be so surprised.....But we are here, and this site shouldnt steer you to far from the tuth

Rodriguez's wife stuck by him through all the hard times -- she deserves better than this. She should get half of whatever he has. Both he and McGowan are creeps, IMO. Break up with your wife, then fool around.

Huh? No comprende, you speaking English?
If you're saying I'm basing my opinion of the film based on these personal hijinks, you're wrong. They were two separate opinions. Hell, they were even separated into 2 paragraphs to make that clear. I stand by my firm opinion that Rodriguez and Tarantino are exploitative hacks, ripping off whatever sources are convenient in the pursuit of faux retro hipness.
