Matrix Director's Wife Airs Dirty Laundry -- Literally
It should be the best week in Matrix Reloaded director Larry Wachowski's life. But with exquisite timing, court papers have emerged at thesmokinggun.com that probably make him feel like he's in the Matrix itself.
Wachowski's wife, Thea Bloom, is suing him for divorce -- and it's going to get ugly.
Her court papers not only reveal all his financial dealings with Warner Bros. but also suggest that recent gossip in the British press about Wachowski being a cross-dresser could be true. To wit: In the legal papers, Bloom says the couple's decision to separate was mutual and "based on very intimate circumstances ... which I do not elaborate on at this time for reasons of his personal privacy."
But Bloom is more interested in money than undergarments, and with good reason. According to her papers, the Wachowski brothers received $16 million for their work on The Matrix movies recently -- and it's unaccounted for in her divorce.
Interestingly, if Bloom had waited until this fall to file for divorce, she might have passed the magic 10-year mark under California law. She and Wachowski, she claims, were together from 1984-93 and then married in 1993. A judge will have to decide if that constitutes 10 years of marriage.
In the meantime, Bloom will be watching The Matrix Reloaded box office very carefully this weekend -- and maybe doing an inventory of her unmentionables as well.
