The wife of this former A+list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner is going to be ticked off when she finds out he gave his kids from another relationship a huge trust fund and has not done anything like that for their kids. He has been trying to keep it a secret but one of the kids is spending money on everything and the wife is going to find out.
Kevin Costner
Could never stand KC as an actor (never saw the attraction for his looks nor his acting...both pathetic) and now he's even more of a douche bag in real life (according to this blind....).
ReplyDeleteHe was pretty when he was young. But this is awful behavior towards his own born children. Maybe he was forced in his divorce settlement to set up trust funds for his first set of children, or he wouldn't have done it then, either.
ReplyDeleteWoot woot @backagain for getting this the first time around! :)
ReplyDeleteDouchebag. Not because of the trust fund thing. His kids with his current wife are still young, under ten years old (I think). His kids with his previous wife are adults.
ReplyDeleteguilt over dumping their mother.
ReplyDeleteI think she dumped him because of his cheating
ReplyDeleteOK I guess you don't like Kevin Costner. Wow ever think that maybe his adult children need the money now because they are adults while his young custodial children don't need or want for anything now??? I suspect they will each get nice trusts when they get of age too.
ReplyDeleteI always found Costner boring. Now he's just a boring jerk.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I thought I had heard his second wife came from a wealthy family. If so, then I could maybe understand that, and maybe they had discussed the arrangement.
Although a parent should provide for ALL their kids.
NM, it was Don Johnson that married a wealthy woman. See how boring I find Costner? I mix him up with other actors.
ReplyDeleteDances With His Fist is heap big cheap-skate to withhold wampum from papooses of current squaw! Him sleep on couch this week.
ReplyDeleteAt the time of his first divorce, her settlement was the biggest in Hollywood history, I believe. $80 million. The trust fund may have been written into it for when they became adults. I have a story about Costner concerning the time he was in South Dakota filming Dancing With Wolves that would shock everyone. I doubt even HE knows about it. All I will say is, he went from multi-Academy Award winner to flop in a short period of time and never fully recovered. There is a reason for that. Life lesson? Don't make promises to Native Americans you don't plan on keeping!
ReplyDeleteAfter "Dances", he then had "Robin Hood" and "The Bodyguard" over the next five years, both of which were huge. But yeah, then he kind of sank and is just starting to come back.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to know what the story is!
*oh, and JFK
ReplyDeleteIf Enty wants to know the whole story he can always email me. The first word in my email address says it all.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Kevin is a good actor and very good looking. There's no danger he will run out of money anytime soon so looking after all his kids is something I bet even the new wife encourages.
ReplyDeleteI love many of his movies, the favorite by miles being Tin Cup, followed by Field of Dreams, The Upside of Anger and The Postman.
I didn't enjoy every minute of Field of Dreams but the message was so beautiful I can't imagine anyone not loving it.
Had he set up trust funds for his minor kids, if they divorce, guess who could probably take control of their trust funds? Children of divorce sometimes get screwed by subsequent marriages and a lack of financial planning. Sounds like he's being considerate of that fact. It's his money and he can do what he wants with it. No ones entitled to anything that's not theirs, though it would have been nice if he had the kind of relationship with his wife where he could have a rational, reasoned discussion about what he's doing with his money and why.
ReplyDeleteDear Enty - please get Anna from Savannah's story! Inquiring minds and all!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to come off as a bitch for saying this but I offer it only because I'm trying to spread the word to people who may not understand. The word "squaw" is considered very offensive. It's the equivalent of the n-word for female Native Americans.
ReplyDeleteI think @unemployable response is in reference to Costner screwing over the Native Americans he did Dances w/ Wolves with.
ReplyDeleteI agree some terms are not okay, but I don't think he was trying to be discriminatory.
He's writing as if he was Costner, who is an a##hole.
And you're welcome @unemployable
:-)
You're not coming off that way at all, @Debbie. I did not know that and I stand corrected. I apologize, as well. Let's smokem peace pipe, Kemosabi.
ReplyDeleteAC: I am sure Enty thinks the story is bogus but it isn't I assure you. The story is shocking enough, but how I learned about it is even more so. I was NOT supposed to overhear it. This story is not gossip or from a third party. I heard it being told. I was going to school in South Dakota a few years after Dances With wolves was shot. I was in the library. A high bookshelf divided the library section from the recreation area where the professors ate their lunches. They did not know I was on the other side of the divide when one prof was asked about Kevin Costner's promise to their tribe and had he made good on it. My eyes perked right up! Kevin Costner? Promises? The man began talking to the other teacher and laid out the entire story. As it progressed I was so stunned I knew I had to get the heck out of Dodge before they found me sitting there. No way a non-Indian should be hearing this. I waited till he got to the end and I hightailed it out of there. Shortly after this his wife divorced him and he had to pay out millions. And it progressed from there to this day. He and his brother were given a casino license to run a casino in the Black Hills. I don't know how that turned out. Every time I saw the professors after that I wondered what they would have done if they found me on the other side of the divide. I still get chills thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking it in the spirit I intended. Most people just don't know how offensive it is and wouldn't use the word if they knew. I agree with your sentiments about KC.
