Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix: Divorcing!
Casey Affleck has been dogged by sexual harassment allegations for ages, and there’s no telling how much of a toll that’s taken on his marriage.
When Casey Affleck and his wife, Summer Phoenix, separated in the spring of 2016, they did so fairly quietly and without the sort of scandal that you expect to see when Afflecks are having marital problems.
Well, this situation is officially past “marital problems” … because Summer Phoenix has filed for divorce.
Casey Affleck, who is 41 years old, and Summer Phoenix, who is 38, have two sons together.
Children and concerns about their emotional well being and adjustments are a complication in a divorce, even after more than a year of separation.
Indiana Affleck is 13 years old.
Atticus Affleck is 9 years old.
(You remember — the children Casey Affleck famously forgot in his Oscars speech)
Summer Phoenix is Joaquin Phoenix’s sister, by the way — Joaquin originally set the two of them up.
Casey Affleck is, of course, Ben Affleck’s (worse) brother.
Whatever sense of commonality the two felt as less-famous siblings in famous families clearly wasn’t enough to keep them together forever, though.
E! reports that, in her divorce filing, Summer Phoenix cites “irreconcilable differences.”
Honestly, it’s technically nobody’s business why people are getting divorced — to the point that it’s weird that couples even have to cite reasons that they’re ending their marriage unless it’s a contentious divorce.
That said … “irreconcilable differences’ is vague as hell and could mean just about anything.
Like it just means that they couldn’t get along, basically.
That’s why people divorce in the first place, folks.
But clearly they’re not entirely at odds.
Summer Phoenix is seeking joint legal custody and joint physical custody of the boys with Casey Affleck.
She is also seeking spousal support.
Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix met in 1995 after their more famous siblings had worked together.
They were engaged by 2003.
It wasn’t until a couple of years after Summer gave birth to Indiana in 2004 that the couple married in May of 2006.
They separated just under eight years after marrying.
For Hollywood, that’s basically a 20-year marriage.
Considering that their relationship began in 1995, they had a lengthy relationship by any standards.
But even long-lasting relationships where both parties come from similar worlds, share similar values, and take years to get to know one another before getting engaged or married don’t guarantee happily-ever-afters.
We can’t help thinking that a factor behind this separation and divorce may have been Casey Affleck’s alleged sexual harassment.
The accusations that Casey Affleck used his position as director to sexually harass multiple women working for him got him slammed on Twitter, but
Some of the accusations just sound like poor judgment — allegedly, Casey instructed one man working for him to show his penis to a woman who was working for him.
Definitely inappropriate and definitely poor judgment, but when we’re talking about directors and sex crime accusations, that’s a far cry from Woody Allen.
Some of the accusations were more serious, including allegations of him grabbing one in an effort to intimidate her into having sex with him in a hotel room.
If someone feels that “no” isn’t a safe answer, then they cannot consent. Obviously.
Even if Summer Phoenix heard these stories and thought to herself that all of these women were conspiring together to lie just for the fun of it, that Casey had just been innocently flirting with them … well, it wouldn’t seem innocent to Summer, his wife.
And if Summer heard these allegations and thought “oh no, what sort of man have I married?!” Well, divorce sounds like exactly the right response to that.
But, for all that we know, their divorce has been a long time coming.
Sometimes couples just grow apart.

The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 5 Recap: Phoenix Rising
All aboard the crazy train!
Sides were chosen on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 5, as multiple truths came to light and the Salvatore brothers once again found themselves aligned for a common cause:
The cold, brutal, violent, painful death of Julian.
We learned this week that The Phoenix Stone does not, in actuality, bring anyone back from the dead.
On the contrary, it fills a corpse with the spirit of a dark vampire who had been stuck in said Stone; meaning Oscar was not Oscar and Jo was not Jo.
Bonnie broke this sad news to Alaric, who fought back tears in front of Non-Jo and agreed to help her discover who actual identity.
She seems lost and lonely and confused in this news world, though it’s unclear if that’s some kind of act or really what is going on with the creature who inhabits who formerly pregnant and stabbed body.
Non-Oscar, meanwhile, met his demise at the hands of Enzo, who confronted Lily with everything he knew.
Lily responded with a full understanding of how the Stone works, telling Enzo she chooses it (and, by extension, Julian) over him because Julian’s spirit is actually one of the ones stuck in that nefarious rock.
If used properly, she really can bring Julian back from the dead with it… and that’s how we concluded the episode, with Nora and Mary Louise helping Lily use the Stone to match locked-up spirit with its true body.
So Julian is now alive again, but Damon and Stefan will both be looking to kill him very dead on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 6, each for a different reason:
- Damon discovered that Lily was the one who told Kai to enact that whole sleeping curse on Elena.
- Valerie came clean to Stefan about what Julian did to her, beating the baby she shared out of her womb all those years ago.
What will that latter admission mean for the future of Staroline? We shudder to think
In Flash Forward World, Bonnie confessed to a support group that she made a mistake a long time ago and “lost” someone she loved as a result.
Who might that be?!?
As you ponder those possibilities, ponder this as well: three years in the future, we also saw Enzo meet up with Bonnie inside some kind of rehab center, tell her things are pretty bad outside… and then totally make out with her!
WHAT THE WHAT?
Check out scenes from next week’s installment and go watch The Vampire Diaries online if you need to catch up before then.

MMA Star Phoenix Jones -- I Stopped An Attempted Murder (VIDEO)
Z STAFF
MMA star Phoenix Jones had a busy weekend — winning his bout on Friday night … and then BREAKING UP AN ATTEMPTED MURDER roughly 24 hours later.
Jones — real name Ben Fodor — was out in Seattle early Sunday morning when he claims he witnessed 3 men attacking another guy outside of a bar … one of the attackers allegedly had a gun.
So Jones — who moonlights as a real-life superhero — says he jumped into action … KOing the lead attacker who was allegedly pistol-whipping the victim while the other 2 men had been stomping his head.
Jones says he called police — and when they arrived, they arrested the suspect.
On Friday, Jones scored a 1st round victory at the World Series of Fighting 23 event in Arizona.
We reached out to cops for comment — but we’re still waiting to hear back.

With Copycats Still On The Loose, The Accused Phoenix Highway Sniper Says He"s The Wrong Guy
Innocent until proven guilty, and Leslie Allen Merritt, Jr. is really claiming innocence.
The accused Phoenix highway shooter is adamant that he is not the one who’s been targeting random cars along Interstate 10 in the Arizona city, even though authorities are pretty confident they’ve got their man.
Related: Three Teens Arrested For Copycat Crimes Linked To The Highway Shooter!
Merritt, speaking in court during his initial appearance one day after his arrest, said to the judge:
“All I have to say is I’m the wrong guy. I tried telling the detectives that. My gun’s been in the pawn shop the last two months. I haven’t even had access to a weapon.”
Merritt, whose bail was set at $ 1 million, told the judge that he has two children, and wouldn’t be able to afford to pay his way out of jail pending trial.
Despite Merritt’s innocence claims, though, Bart Graves, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, feels pretty confident about the state’s case:
“The evidence as you’ll see in the next couple of days speaks for itself. We’re not going to get in a debate about that.”
Guess we’ll all know more very soon.
What do U think of this story??
