News Ltd: Murdoch divorced his wife over relationship with Tony Blair.

Last edited Mon Apr 21, 2014, 02:36 PM - Edit history (1)

This is old news, so if it’s been posted already just ignore, but News Ltd (in Australia) has excerpted an interview that Murdoch gave to Fortune. Murdoch says he filed for divorce as soon as he found out Blair had been visiting his wife, Wendy Deng at their California home. Also, Rupert did not appreciate published comments by Wendy that Tony had a ‘really really good … butt’. Who could have possibly foreseen ...

Murdoch turns ‘new page’ after ‘stressful’ period


… Mr Murdoch revealed he had learned while on a trip to Australia that his ex-wife Ms Deng had spent time at their California ranch in October 2012 and April last year with former British prime minister Tony Blair.

“When I got back, I naturally asked the staff, and it opened up,” he said.

Mr Murdoch said he filed for divorce a week later, “as soon as I could find a lawyer”.
.
… earlier this year, Vanity Fair published extracts allegedly from Ms Deng’s diary in which she waxed lyrical about Mr Blair, including saying he had a “good body and really really good legs (and) butt”.

Or after Blair became a Catholic?

She's a "piece of work" as they used to say about conniving, hard-driving women and he is lightweight with undeserved power. Perfect couple. Oops, he is still tethered to Cherie.
