Celebrities who got divorced from their wives on the basis of cruelty

Considering the amount of cases wherein a man seeks divorce from him wife on the basis of cruelty, we asked Priyanka Kapoor- Psychotherapist and a Couple Counsellor, that there's a fine line between mental cruelty and disrespect in relationships which can be a cause for divorce.

‘Extended Family’ Review: A Subversive Split From Sitcom Tropes

A network situation comedy that is genuinely funny doesn’t come along every weeknight at 8:30, or most weeknights at 8:30, and even if the producers passed on the most obvious title—“Post-Modern Family”—their new “Extended Family” has legs. Jokes. Jon Cryer’s scrupulous comedic timing. And a premise that even 20 years ago would have had the old Legion of Decency writhing on the floor: happy divorce.Does it help that it isn’t so happy?
