Love triangles of stars: what to learn from the example of the betrayals of others

Status: mistress, in front of his wife.

Love story: Camilla and Charles became lovers while still being totally free people. They met at a social event in 1970. The future Duchess of Cornwall, spitting on all decency, approached the prince and said, “You know, my great-grandmother had an affair with your great-grandmother. -grandfather. Maybe we should try? Charles didn’t need to be convinced. In fact, the couple’s story embodies the simple plot of all Brazilian TV shows: “They love each other, but they can’t be together.” The queen was against their union, Camilla and Charles pretended to separate and soon she was married. However, their relationship continued. The lovers did not break off the secret relationship even after Charles proposed to Diana. The most amazing thing is how one vicious relationship leads to another. Diana was always aware of the betrayals of the faithful, and therefore, driven to despair, she began to change herself. Then – a divorce, a car accident and the stigma of “insidious landlord”, which Camilla continued to carry until their marriage, which took place in 2005.

Worse still: 35 years of waiting, an intractable mother-in-law and millions of skeptical British subjects.

His error: cowardice, which prevented the prince from insisting alone and marrying his beloved.

His error: willingness to bear a heavy burden of responsibility, inability to step into the shadows and let a man make a decision.

What to learn: love is one and exists for life and beware if you start resisting it!

Status: with a dowry in the form of a husband.

Love story: In the charismatic couple Lily Brik and revolutionary Vladimir Mayakovsky there was always a third, and not to say very superfluous – Lily’s husband, Osip Brik. Moreover, it is unclear who loved Osip more – his own wife or the person with whom she cheated on him (the poet always respected his opponent). Yes, the Briks were officially divorced, but they continued to live together and were not going to leave. Soon the company in the apartment consisted of Mayakovsky. We were struck by the memories of Andrei Voznesensky, who wrote: “Already in my old age, Lilya Brik shocked me with such a confession: “I loved to have sex with Osya. We then locked Volodya in the kitchen. A strange three-way marriage lasted 15 years and only ended in 1930, when Mayakovsky committed suicide.

Worse still: the general decadence of the intelligentsia of that time and the eternal torments of creativity.

His error: the absurd belief that a poet’s soul must suffer not only on paper, but also in life.

His error: none of the “two evils” Lily could turn into good.

What to learn: living with an art person is not an easy task, especially if you are selfish yourself.

Status: I will never marry you.

Love story: One of Hollywood’s most outrageous and beloved couples met on the set of the movie “Woman of the Year.” They thought they wouldn’t work together, but eventually the love on set turned into the love of their lives for both of them. However, despite all his passion for the beautiful Catherine, Spencer did not even think about leaving his wife Louise (he assured this because of the children, but it is said that he did not want to destroy the wedding ceremony). The idyll of the movie stars lasted 27 years, their joint photographs were on the front pages of all the newspapers, the whole world was talking about their affair; Louise Tracy went mad with jealousy, occasionally ending up in rehab clinics, but she wasn’t going to end the marriage. They therefore lived in the status of “secret” lovers (whose bond every dog ​​in Beverly Hills knew) until Spencer’s death in ’67. After the loss of her lover, Hepburn did not begin romances , but she played her best role – Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine in the film “The Lion in Winter” – a woman who has lost a great love, but who retains her courage and continues to enjoy life.

Worse still: the strict religious considerations of the actor, of the woman, ready to turn a blind eye to everything, and of the omnipresent paparazzi.

His error: the inability to appreciate a woman ready to do anything for him.

His mistake: afraid to ask the question “Choose: me or my wife” aggressively and to hear a refusal.

What to learn: there are times when the status of mistress carries more weight than the position of wife (but this is rather an exception).

Status: don’t touch anyone.

Love story: The blonde Hollywood starlet came into Depp’s life at a time when everything was going wrong: his close friend Hunter Thompson committed suicide, the actor withdrew, withdrew into himself, even the family ceased to please. The couple met on the set of the film The Rum Diary (Johnny himself produced the film based on Thomposna’s book), and two months later, as the actor himself admitted, he was ready to offer. The girl did everything to make Depp see himself in her: she behaved mysteriously, defiantly, her actions were difficult to predict. Summary: Johnny decided to do something he hadn’t dared to do for 14 years with Vanessa Paradis: he proposed. However, even with a new passion, family life did not improve, two years later Hurd outragedly filed for divorce, claiming that her lover beat her and humiliated her. The whole world was divided into two camps: some called Depp a freak, others claimed that Amber was just a hunter for acting money, who from the very beginning thought of such a sophisticated plan.

Worse still: the complex nature of the two and the 23-year age difference.

His error: the tendency to make wishful thinking without understanding the situation.

His mistake: in a divorce, take out the dirty laundry from the house, accusing the ex-spouse of all terrible sins, but thereby ruining your reputation.

What to learn: don’t confuse passion with love, because without mutual respect, trust and support, you won’t get far.

Status: in bed with your husband.

Love story: If professional mistresses are born in the world, then Judith Exner was obviously one of them. She married actor William Campbell at an early age, but the ring on her finger didn’t stop her from dating the great Frank Sinatra. It was the bond with the singer that caused her divorce: even before signing the documents, the beauty had already moved into Sinatra’s star mansion. A few years later, Frank introduced his crush to Senator John F. Kennedy. And what would you think?.. A serious passion immediately arose between new acquaintances, which culminated in a two-year romance, which the wife of the presidential candidate Jacqueline Kennedy was also well aware of. But Judith’s loves don’t stop there. In turn, John introduces her to notorious mob boss Sam Giancane, with whom she immediately…had an affair! After that, the liaison with the president had to be terminated at the request of the FBI surveillance agents, who followed the girl almost all the time.

Worse still: indiscriminate love and exorbitant status of partners.

His error: more precisely, which of them? All the men were quickly fascinated, but also easily let go.

His error: contacting the FBI and the Mafia, maybe it wasn’t worth it.

What to learn: always remember that there are always a hundred problems besides having a powerful lover, and dangerous liaisons are cool, but only in the movie.
