15 Demi Moore And Ashton Kutcher

When we first heard about Demi Moore's marriage to Ashton Kutcher, we thought we all got Punk'd! Moore was a sophomore in high school when Kutcher was born for crying out loud. Nevertheless, Kutcher married his childhood crush Demi Moore in 2005. Kutcher then turned around and filed for divorce from Moore in 2012, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce finalized in 2013. Interesting thing is, rumors emerged that the couple separated in 2011 for good due to Kutcher cheating on Moore.

After a staggering 31 years of marriage, Robyn Gibson officially filed for divorce in 2009 after news broke that her husband fathered a child with another woman. Mel Gibson married Robyn in his native Australia in 1980, and the two have seven children together. Considering infidelity, you would think the divorce was something like World War 3. However, the couple's divorce went pretty smooth to say the least. What makes Robyn the ultimate savage though is what she collected in the divorce settlement! Mel and Robyn evenly divided $850 million, leaving Robyn with a whopping $425 million. No you didn't read that wrong-$425 MILLION DOLLARS. In fact, Mel and Robyn Gibson's divorce is the second most expensive celebrity divorce in history.

13 Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston

Rachel (Jennifer Aniston's character on the show Friends) may have had a plethora of buddies, but make no mistake that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were anything but enemies throughout this tumultuous divorce. Pitt and Aniston wed in 2000, at the top of both of their careers. Aniston was still holding it down on Friends, and Pitt was dropping bomb movies like Fight Club and Ocean's Eleven. The two were the flaming topic around town, and Hollywood never gossiped more. Well, that was until Pitt filmed Mr. and Mrs. Smith with actress Angelina Jolie in 2004. On the set, Pitt and Jolie fell in love and engaged in an affair behind the scenes. To add insult to the injury, only months after Pitt and Jolie began publicly dating, Aniston and Pitt announced that they were getting a divorce. Many weren't mad at Pitt, claiming that he actually "upgraded" when taking on Jolie. Ouch.

12 Halle Berry And Gabriel Aubry

Former model, Gabriel Aubry is perhaps the luckiest man on the planet. He not only got to marry the infamously beautiful Halle Berry, he also became her baby daddy! Berry and Aubry got hitched in 2005 and together introduced a baby girl (Nahla Aubry) to the world in 2008. The marriage headed for rocky shores soon after, and the couple divorced in 2010. Following the divorce, Aubry and Berry ensued in a malicious custody battle over Nahla. In 2014, Berry was ordered to pay $16,000 a month in child support to Aubry and the two were granted joint custody. Subsequently, Berry took Aubry back to court in an attempt to lower the child support payments, claiming that she was supporting Aubry and that he needed to get a j-o-b. Berry's next boyfriend, Olivier Martinez, even took it upon himself to confront Aubry and beat his face in.

11 Hulk And Linda Hogan

"What'cha gonna do, when divorce papers come for you!". Not our best Hulk Hogan impersonation, though the announcement of Hulk and Linda Hogan's divorce in 2009 indeed through us all for a doozy. Linda (Linda Hogan) Claridge met Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea in a restaurant in Los Angeles. After a 2-year long distance relationship, the two married in 1983. Hulk Hogan single-handedly put World Wrestling Federation (now known as World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) on the map, with Linda being his main support system throughout his professional wrestling career. Sadly, Linda filed for divorce in 2009 after a sex tape surfaced starring her husband Hulk. The tape showed Hulk having intercourse with his best friend's wife, while still married to Linda. In 2015, a judge ordered Gawker Media to pay $115 million to Hulk Hogan for publishing the sex tape.

10 Alec Baldwin And Kate Basinger

Baldwin and Basinger were married from 1993 to 2002. "I did this film, The Marrying Man, where I met my eventual [now-ex] husband, Alec Baldwin, but I was teeter-tottering because I had also been offered Sleeping with the Enemy [which eventually starred Julia Roberts]. Isn't it funny that I turned down Sleeping with the Enemy, and then I went on to sleep with the enemy!", Bassinger spoke about her marriage to Baldwin in a later interview. OUCH! The two divorced in 2001, and entangled in a messy custody battle over their daughter, Ireland. In the thick of the battle, a voicemail leaked of Baldwin speaking very harsh words to their daughter. Baldwin called Ireland a “thoughtless little pig”, saying "I don't give a d*mn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the a** who doesn't care about what you do.”

9 Robin Givens And Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson's wedlock to Robin Givens was one of those most scrutinized Hollywood marriages ever. For starters, the two got married in 1988 and divorced in 1989. Tyson's marriage to Givens was especially volatile, with allegations of spousal abuse, violence and mental unstableness on Tyson's behalf. Things really hit the fan when Tyson and Givens gave a joint interview with Barbara Walters on "20/20" in September 1988, in which Givens portrayed life with Tyson as "torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine." Givens also described Tyson as "manic depressive" on national TV, while Tyson sat with a disturbingly calm, spaced-out expression on his face. A month after the interview, Givens announced she was filing for divorce. Givens received $10 million in the divorce settlement. Tyson later went on to say that Givens was not only a gold digger, but that she also was an adulterer and faked a pregnancy during their marriage.

8 Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes

Apparently Katie Holmes deemed marriage life with Tom Cruise 'mission impossible'. The item was married for five years and had one daughter together before Holmes proceeded in filing for divorce. Reportedly, Cruise didn't see the divorce coming, and it hit him totally from left field. It's said Holmes broke it off with Cruise because she feared Scientology (Cruise's religion) would turn their daughter Suri against her, fearing that Suri could end up cutting off all contact with her under Scientology's 'disconnection' policy. The couple's marriage really went left, once church members of Tom's moved into their Los Angeles home. During their separation, it came out that Cruise wasn't keeping in steady contact with his daughter. Cruise ended up suing Bauer Media for $50 million when they claimed he “abandoned” Suri. In court, Cruise testified that he had been busy filming but would talk to Suri regularly over the phone.

7 Madonna And Sean Penn

Sean Penn and Madonna's marriage was popping like chicken grease from day one. Sean met Madonna in February 1985, and they married six months later. The relationship was blemished by violent outbursts against the paparazzi, including one incident in 1987 when Penn was arrested for assaulting a photographer. Penn was sentenced to 60 days in jail, which he served 33 days. Madonna filed for divorce as a result, but later withdrew the papers. In 1989, she redrew those same papers and the two officially divorced. Penn was alleged to have slapped Madonna around on several occasions, but in 2015 Madonna stated the allegations were untrue. “While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage,” Madonna said, “Sean has never struck me, 'tied me up,' or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false.” Penn and Madonna are rumored to still be hooking up.

6 Michael Jackson And Lisa Marie Presley

Not even someone with Alzheimer's could forget Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley's marriage. Jackson was first introduced to Lisa Marie Presley by her father, Elvis, in 1974. The two reconnected in 1992. Shortly after, in 1993 Jackson was subjected to his first set of child sexual abuse accusations. In the midst, Jackson became dependent on pain medication and eventually Presley convinced him to enter rehab. In a telephone call while there, Jackson proposed marriage to Presley. She agreed, and the two wed in 1994. Married life was incredibly challenging for Jackson and Presley, between Jackson's child molestation charges and the media persistently saying that their marriage was phony and a big joke. To no surprise, the marriage ended in divorce in 1996.

5 Ike And Tina Turner

The most savage custody or/and divorce battle of all time hands down goes to Ike and Tina Turner. These two were rolling on a river for real! Anna Mae "Tina Turner" Bullock and Ike Turner met in 1958. The two effortlessly became a musical tandem and quickly rose to stardom. They tied the knot in 1962. Eventually, it came to light that behind the scenes Ike was mentally and physically abusing his wife, Tina. On more than one occasion, Ike smacked Tina with open palms and pounded Tina's face with his fist. Ike even "forced" Tina to copulate with him at times. Tina even tried to commit suicide one time by swallowing 50 Valiums after a brawl with Ike! Finally, in 1976, Tina filed for divorce. The divorce became official in 1978.

The couple had two children together, and Richards asked for a custody evaluation. Richards alleged that Sheen's paranoia had kept their daughters from receiving vaccinations. She collected letters from their pediatrician to support the claim. Richards also declared that Sheen was abusive. In addition, Richards said that Sheen would often pay for prostitutes, gambled, and was hooked on drugs. She emphasized that Sheen visits websites that feature underage porn. Richards later sought a restraining order, and Sheen was required to stay 300 feet away from her and their daughters. The order was extended several times, and the divorce dragged out for a period of time due to the intense custody battle. Talk about a reality show drama-these two should of had one!

Following their divorce, Anna reportedly received $1.7 billion (including $110 million in cash) from the divorce settlement. Holy smokes! Some attest that Anna and Rupert split due to Wendi Deng, whom Rupert met while married to Anna. Rupert married Wendi just 17 days after his divorce from Anna. Giving the two separated as a result of an infidelity, with $1.7 billion dollars, Anna had PLENTY of bills to blow her nose and wipe the tears off of her face with.
