Sandra Bullock is beloved by most movie-going audiences. So, when
she got teary thanking then-husband Jesse James at the 2010 Oscars, we
all rooted for them. That also made it hurt twice as much when the news
came out that James allegedly cheated on America's Sweetheart. He didn't
just cheat, though—he cheated with a slew of women, at least one of
whom had no issue rocking Nazi regalia. That may not have bothered
James, though—he's reportedly been linked to Nazi-related art and themes
for quite a while himself, and some very unsettling photos of him in Nazi gear went public. Sources told Us Weekly that James is "into history…The swastika deal is to scare people. It's part of biker culture."
That wasn't enough for Bullock, who kicked him to the curb and told People (via The New York Daily News), "The photo shocked me and made me sad. This was stupid, this was ignorant. Racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life."

Paul McCartney's marriage to Heather Mills didn't seem
terrible—until they divorced and the world finally saw her alleged true
colors. The couple were married for less than six years before they
finalized their divorce in March 2008—and Justice Hugh Bennett, who
presided over the split, wasn't impressed with Mills' efforts to snag
$250 million from the former Beatle.
"I am driven to the conclusion that much of her evidence, both written and oral, was not just inconsistent and inaccurate but also less than candid," Bennett wrote in his ruling (via People), noting that her requests for $400,000 annually for private flights, $80,000 for wine and $250,000 for clothes were "ridiculous…unreasonable, indeed exorbitant."
As recently as March 2015, Mills still insulted McCartney, despite being awarded $48.6 million in their settlement. She told U.K.'s The Late Late Show that Macca was irrelevant, saying "No, they're not [interested in McCartney]…When I go down the street, I get kids coming up to me—half of them don't even know who he is—that's why he's got to do songs with Rihanna and Kanye West, so people remember," she said. "When I go down the street, it's 'Oh my God, you're a ski-racer' or 'You help the animals.' You know, I own the biggest vegan company in the world. This is just someone I fell in love with who to me was a normal guy that happened to write a few cool songs in the '60s and a few in the '70s. Like everybody that's a partner—you fall in love, you get married, you sometimes then go, 'Oh my God, this is completely wrong,' you wake up, and you move on."

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey's first marriage to record exec Tommy Mottola was the stuff of Lifetime movies: rich, powerful, and allegedly very controlling. Vanity Fair
reported that Mottola, who was married with kids when he met Carey,
often dished to his colleagues about his intimate life with Carey. Even
worse, he allegedly wouldn't let her leave their mansion alone and
employed security guards to follow her 24/7—even to the bathroom. He
also allegedly dictated Carey's entire life, even telling her when to
sit and stand. Mottola was even accused of sabotaging her 2001 album and
film, Glitter (2001).
Though he later denied any abusive behavior, he wrote in his memoir (excerpted by Billboard) that the relationship was "absolutely wrong and inappropriate" and that he is "truly sorry for any discomfort or pain that all of my good intentions inevitably caused her, and most of all for the scars it left on my two oldest children." Sure he is, but that still hasn't stopped him from talking about Mimi every chance he gets.

Jennifer Lopez's first husband, Ojani Noa, probably seemed like a
nice guy at the time—but once she became famous after they divorced, he
reportedly tried selling her out. He dished about their relationship on
Million Dollar Matchmaker in September 2016, complaining that
she "chose her career" over their marriage. (It seems to have worked out
pretty well for her, no?)
That was only the most recent of Noa's offenses. In 2006, Lopez sued him to prevent him from publishing a tell-all book about their relationship, alleging that it violated a confidentiality agreement they'd had. A year later, Noa was issued a permanent injunction forbidding Noa from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging" his iconic ex, and he was forced to pay La Lopez about $545,000 as well as to give her all hard copies and materials related to the book he'd been trying to sell, according to the New York Times.
In 2015, he reportedly tried to release an intimate video featuring Lopez that was filmed during their brief marriage.

Zsa Zsa Gabor
Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, seemed to capitalize on her December 2016 death as much as he could. The Hollywood Reporter
reports that von Anhalt made much of his speech at her memorial service
about Hollywood and about himself, even admitting that he met her
because he paid a photo agency $5,000 to snap him with a star to
establish himself as a celebrity—and that star was Gabor. He also used
his platform to call Elizabeth Taylor fat when she was wheelchair-ridden
at the end of her life, because, you know, he's classy. While he isn't The Worst, he doesn't seem to mind using Gabor, even after her death, for his own desperate attempts at fame.
Robert Kardashian

The deceased Kardashian patriarch, Robert Kardashian, married
Kris Jenner…who then "destroyed" him and broke his heart, then launched
her family to superstardom off the back of their daughter's sex tape. "I
saw how [Jenner's affair] destroyed my dad," Khloe Kardashian said in
March 2016 (via Us Weekly). "I saw what it did to my dad, so I don't want to do that. I also saw the regret from my mom."
Jenner later said her biggest regret in the world was cheating on Robert Kardashian. She had an explosive affair with Emmy-nominated animator Todd Waterman, who says they still were hooking up after she got together with her second husband, Bruce Jenner.

Before Kanye West, Kris Humphries, and Reggie Bush, Kim
Kardashian married Damon Thomas. Kardashian was 19 when they eloped in
2000, and by February 2004 they'd split. Court documents obtained by The Daily Mail
paint a terrifying picture of the marriage: Kardashian accused Thomas,
who was 10 years her senior, of "poisoning" her against her friends and
family, urging her to drop out of college, and of numerous incidents of
domestic violence, including slamming her into walls, pulling her hair,
and punching her in the face. Kardashian also claimed that Thomas
encouraged her to get plastic surgery in order to become "perfect."
Thomas denied the claims to In Touch Weekly and alleged that
Kardashian was trying to get more money out of him in their divorce
settlement—and that she cheated on him with Jennifer Lopez's second
husband, Cris Judd.
Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel's divorce proceedings from ex Jason Hoppy lasted
longer than her two-year marriage. The pair tied the knot in 2010 but
were separated by 2012, and by Frankel's account, the split was very ugly. However, it was Hoppy's alleged behavior after their divorce that was unsettling. TMZ
reported that in November 2016, Frankel's boyfriend, Dennis Shields,
had his lawyer send Hoppy a cease and desist letter after Hoppy
allegedly sent him over 100 harassing emails about Frankel. In January
2017, Page Six reported Hoppy was arrested for allegedly
threatening Frankel when she picked up their daughter, Bryn, from school
in New York—and it was revealed that he allegedly sent over 150 emails
of various insults and threats to her and Shields, allegedly calling her
"ugly," "old," and "irrelevant."
Christie Brinkley

Cook's subsequent wife, Suzanne Shaw, faced similar infidelity. After their own split in 2014, Shaw publicly apologized to Brinkley for ignoring her warnings about Cook, who later was alleged to be photographing women without their knowledge. Shaw even wrote him an email leaked to the New York Post that read, "To think you fought Christie, the mother of your children, for custody, knowing what you were, knowing what you did … trolling the internet … filming your prostitute. Covertly photographing … and so much more." Yikes.
