I told you last month that the split between Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting was likely to get messy and this morning we're starting to learn more about why their relationship crumbled. Not that they seemed like a couple that had a great shot at making it, especially when you consider that they were spotted fighting in public just weeks after swapping vows. Supposedly Sweeting has a temper and Cuoco requires a lot of attention, but what we didn't know was about a burgeoning drug problem.
According to a report by Page Six, “Kaley gave him an ultimatum: ‘If you don’t stay sober, then I’m done.’ He went to rehab, but when he came out he went missing for a period of time . . . like four days. Reports surfaced about Sweeting taking painkillers last year, but a source tells us his addiction issues began well before that. “He had some drinking issues in college and he was doing painkillers as early as 2013 at least,” said the source.
Supposedly, Sweeting just recently wrapped up another stint in rehab but it wasn't enough to save his marriage. Cuoco filed for divorce in September and Sweeting just filed documents of his own requesting that he be paid spousal support. Cuoco is expected to fight that request and it's starting to sound like she was very wise to insist on a prenup before they married.
Rumors have also swirled that Sweeting's team is looking for a loophole in the prenup so that he can go after a portion of that as well. Do you think that he is going to try and take Cuoco for every last dime that he can get out of her?
