Considering his kids and her husband's reaction to their coupling it very much ruined the actual marriages too.

Yeah Winstead’s exhusband made a semi autobiographical movie afterward about how he compartmentalized his rage into martial arts to avoid going down a bad path after that happened

That's not true though, the movie was in development and he was already very into martial arts before their divorce. She was supposed to be in the movie before they split.

TIL she was married to Riley Stearns. The Art of Self Defense was hilarious. Didn't know about his backstory.

MEW was initially cast in The Art of Self Defense so how could it be about their breakup?

The kids are outsiders. And he is an outsider to one of the marriages.
