John Wayne Had 3 Wives, 1 ‘Nearly Shot Him’ to Death After He Came Home Drunk – My Blog

John Wayne is the personification of the western film genre. The legendary actor starred in some of the most significant movies in the category. Wayne had three wives over the course of his lifetime. There was a lot of drama in his relationships, including his second wife, Esperanza Baur, who “nearly shot him.”

John Wayne’s first wife was Josephine Saenz, whose parents disapproved of him
Hourly History’s John Wayne: A Life From Beginning to End explores the actor’s life, including his relationships with his wives. His first marriage was to Josephine Saenz. Wayne initially went on a date with her sister, Carmen, but he fell in love with Josephine. Her parents didn’t care for John, considering that she was a 16-year-old from a financially well-off family. Meanwhile, he was a 19-year-old from a disadvantaged background.
Wayne and Josephine married on June 24, 1933. However, she discovered that he was having “extramarital misadventures” with 1940’s Seven Sinners co-star Marlene Dietrich. Josephine was heartbroken and requested help from a priest named Father McCoy to provide marriage counseling. The wedge of mistrust between Wayne and Josephine ultimately led to their separation and eventual divorce.

His second wife, Esperanza Baur, ‘nearly shot him’ after he came home drunk

Wayne instantly fell in love with who would become his second wife, Esperanza Baur, who he called “Chata.” He told Dietrich’s business manager, Bo Roos, “the great thing about Latin women was that they liked the simple things—marriage, family, children, a home.” Her phone calls to Wayne and Josephine’s home were the last straw for his first wife. As a result, she left all of his things out on the front lawn.
Chata’s mother ran a brothel in Mexico, but a conservative Wayne didn’t let that sour his love for Chata. Hourly History wrote that Wayne married her soon after his divorce on January 17, 1946. However, their happiness was short-lived.
Chata feared that Wayne was cheating on her with one of Wayne’s Angel and the Badman co-stars. She feared that he was doing to her what he did with Josephine. As a result, “when Wayne arrived home late, drunk, he was greeted by Chata who pointed a gun at him and nearly shot him,” Hourly History wrote. Wayne buried himself deeper in his work to avoid his marital issues.
Wayne and Chata ultimately divorced and she quickly ran his name through the mud in the press. She made him out to be a “habitual drunk” and an “abusive husband,” which he denied. Chata locked herself in a hotel in Mexico and drank herself to death at 40 years old.
Pilar Pallete and John Wayne never legally separated or divorced

Wayne married his third wife, Pilar Pallete, on November 1, 1954, who he met before Chata’s death. Their marriage was initially filled with joy. However, everything changed after he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1964. The cancer was at a late stage, so he had to have four ribs and his left lung removed. He was later declared free of what he called the “Big C,” then starring in the western hit, True Grit.
According to Hourly History, Wayne and Pilar started to drift over the course of the 1970s. They officially separated in 1973, as Wayne buried himself deeper into his work and spent more time with his “personal secretary and sometimes lover, Pat.” Wayne ultimately died on June 11, 1979, as a result of stomach cancer.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
