What a prize! Larry King plans to dump wife when she exits rehab
Larry King plans to dump his wife once she gets back from rehab
Soft-hitting talk show host Larry King, 74, is on his seventh wife and he seems to be just about as committed to her as he was to his other six wives. Shawn Southwick, 48, has been married to King for 11 years and they have two sons together, Chance Armstrong, 9, and Cannon Edward, 8. Shawn entered rehab late last month for an addiction to painkillers used to cope with what she claims is a chronic migraine problem. Larry and Shawn have a troubled relationship, and the two were seen having an argument that came to blows outside a restaurant last year. Larry denied at the time that the fight was serious, but The Enquirer has a source which claims that they fight constantly and that King is going to give Shawn the boot once she gets back from rehab.
Larry King plans to divorce his wife Shawn after she recovers from a rehab stint for pill dependency, a source close to the talk-show host told the Enquirer. The 74-year-old CNN star has told pals he’s decided to end his nearly 11-year marriage…[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 4, 2008]
In our Feb 26, 2007, issue we reported that the fight started when Larry wanted to sit with pals at a table in the middle of the deli, but Shawn wanted to sit in a side booth - away from his friends.
Larry exploded in anger, and after forcibly trying to bring her to the seat he wanted, Shawn stormed out. Once outside, Larry grabbed Shawn by the arm, and she slapped him across the face.
By then, “Larry was raging with anger and called Shawn a ‘dirty whore’ and pushed her,” a source revealed.
When contacted at the time but the Enquirer, Larry said: “We got into a little tiff that lasted about two seconds. It’s over now. We’re happily married and not getting a divorce.”
Shawn should be out of rehab around the end of this month, but The Enquirer reports that she’s likely to stay in an after-care facility for a while. Their insider says “Larry plans on waiting for Shawn to recover before he drops divorce papers on her, but he thinks that will be very soon.”
This sounds like it’s true, and the Enquirer is not likely to embellish a story about a minor celebrity like King getting a divorce because frankly it’s not that juicy of a rumor. They’re also one of the most reliable gossip rags. King’s rep denies that he’s getting a divorce this time around, though.
Is it cold to dump your spouse right after they recover from an addiction, or is it a long time coming and more considerate of their mental state at the time? It probably depends on the relationship.

I'm stunned there are 7 people in the world willing to marry this guy.
“What are you looking at, sugar-tits?” - Mel Gibson
Maybe the Crypt Keeper should go to rehab for that farting problem he has.
What the heck happens to the kids? Does he care?
I didn't start out to collect diamonds, but somehow they just kept piling up.-Mae West
^Fuck the kids, who'll change Larry's diaper now?
(Also, two kids aged in the single digits with an 74-year-old dad? Ew!)

She only married him for his money anyways. I'd probably pay for her to leave too.
I'm stunned that there there are 7 people in the world who would willingly want to F*** him.
No one will ever be able to convince me that she didn't marry him for the fame and the money. And he married her to have a beautiful young woman on his arm. Both got what they wanted.
The real victims in this "Hollywood"drama are the kids. One thing kids don't forget or forgive is their father treating their mother shitty. Fortunately for King, he'll be long gone when they are grown ups.
I can't believe she stayed with him 11 years. She should have divorced his ass years ago. He must have a really good pre-nup.
If I can't be a good example, then let me be a horrible warning.
To think he's only 74. My grandmother's not even 74 quite yet, and in failing health, and STILL looks better than he does. Jesus.
He's 74???? **** he's a year older than my pa & my pa looks waaaaaaay better!

WORD!
It's the kids I feel bad for, they're the ones that will suffer in the long run. The soon-to-be ex wife will be better off without Mr. King. He's so gross. He'll have to hire someone else to change his depends now.

She went to rehab for her formaldehyde addiction. He's going to kick her ass out because he needs to keep a steady supply in the house and doesn't want her using it all up.
