11 Forgotten Cheating Scandals
Published on June 17, 2014. Updated April 4, 2017In Hollywood, it seems like a celebrity cheats on his or her significant other every five minutes. Over the years, Hollywood has facilitated many different affairs; however, many of them occurred before the Internet became a big thing, which means most of them are now forgotten. Even some affairs that have happened in the last few years have disappeared from our memories because of newer, bigger and more publicized ones. We decided to look into some of the craziest cheating scandals that may have slipped your mind over the years. Here are 11 of the biggest!
11. Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston
Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston were one of the hottest and most enduring couples in Hollywood. They dated from 1973 to 1989; however, their relationship was constantly tested because of Nicholson’s infidelities. It wasn’t until he impregnated Rebecca Broussard, an actress and model that he had been dating while with Huston, that the “Addams Family” actress finally pulled the plug on their relationship.
10. Mia Farrow and Woody Allen
Mia Farrow found herself in one of the most challenging situations ever when she found out that her long-term partner Woody Allen was having an affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi. Allen had been the closest thing to a father figure in Soon-Yi’s life, which made the situation even more disturbing. Instead of working it out with Farrow, the Oscar-winning director ended up leaving her to pursue a relationship with her 19-year-old stepdaughter. The two are still together.

Eva Longoria wasted no time ending her marriage to Tony Parker after she discovered that he had exchanged hundreds of inappropriate text messages with another woman who was married to one of his former teammates. The “Desperate Housewives” star never went into any detail about how far her ex husband’s betrayal went, but she filed for divorce immediately after news of his infidelity broke, which means that it must have been pretty bad.

Hugh Grant began dating Elizabeth Hurley in 1987, before either of them made it big. When their careers were just starting to take off in 1995, Grant ended up publically humiliating his longtime girlfriend when he was caught in broad daylight soliciting services from a prostitute on Sunset Boulevard. Hurley put on a brave face and stood by her man throughout the scandal. The couple ended up splitting amicably five years later.

The world was surprised back in 2009 when Rob Kardashian and Adrienne Bailon suddenly broke up for no explicable reason; however, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star cleared that up when he announced on the family’s reality show that he cheated on the former “Cheetah Girl.” Although Rob still reminisces about Bailon from time to time, we don’t expect her to give him another chance anytime soon (or ever again).

When Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke were married, he reportedly cheated on her. While neither party has said exactly what happened, Thurman has alluded to the fact that her former husband was unfaithful. “There was some stuff like that at the end. We were having a difficult time, and you know how the axe comes down and how people behave and how people express their unhappiness.” Considering that Hawke ended up marrying their former nanny, we think something big happened.

James Cameron and Linda Hamilton had a pretty complicated relationship. They started dating during the early ‘90s when he directed her in the first two “Terminator” films. She moved in with him and they had a daughter together; however, when he began directing “Titanic,” he left Hamilton for Suzy Amis, an actress who had a small part in the film.
