John Mulaney's ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler to release memoir about her 'heartbreak and rage'

Bitch cray!

cheating happens all the time. humans have romanticized life to the point that they can't cope with reality. it's talked about like a war crime or something. breaking up is harder to do than losing passion or interest in your partner. it can even be dangerous to do so, or people fear the unpredictable/extreme reaction from an emotionally disturbed partner. i wonder why men called her crazy

Who the fuck cares? No matter what she’ll come out the loser in this scenario.

Who would buy this memoir?

She's fine. And she doesn't sound crazy at all.

Honey, take a lesson from Natalie Portman on how to handle a public breakup with class and dignity.

le snore

Did he just give her the bulldog in the end? i thought it was ridiculous they were sharing custody over it.

I would rim John deep....

I actually do feel sorry for her but she's the wife of a celebrity. This is par for the course and although she thinks differently, her story is similar to so many others. It also won't change any minds.

Uh oh, a woman has been offended. Write a book!

She has borderline personality disorder. He is neurodivergent (obvious from the eyes.)

He created a fake version of himself (Aspies do this) which she fell in love with. Her idealization (uniting aspect of borderlines) filled in the gaps where most people would see a warning sign. When he unmasked (because the person we saw on stage never actually existed), it would have been completely traumatic for her.

The apocryphal story is that he and Anna got out of a car once and walked right in to Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn. And Allen and Previn just kind of stared at them.

I believe this story is true, because Allen and Previn, both obviously on the Spectrum, would have immediately recognized him as one of their own.

He’s cute, never heard of her

Who?

John's problems all started with her.

No, they started when his brain started neurodiverging on its merry way in the womb.

Mulaney has talked about how his behavior changed dramatically when he was 11 or 12. Originally given his preppy Irish Catholic background, I assumed reading between the lines that he was being molested by a priest at Catholic school. However, adolescence is also when mental heath problems begin to arise, and neurodivergent people are more prone to them.

There are other signs of it; the dramatic meltdowns, the repetitiveness of some of his skits (diner lobster), the fascination with Stephen Sondheim.

Boo hoo hoo. Poor you.

She looks bitchy.

Repetitive?

You had diner lobster, then airport sushi, bodega bathroom, then Times Square souvenir shop underwear, finally subway churro.

What more variety could you ask for?

John comes across as a weak, sexually ambivalent man with mommy issues who married a shrew. While she didn't initiate his drug addiction, she didn't help either. Even poor Petunia (R.I.P.) had to find an escape.

“And finally, about the endless source of my heartbreak and rage — men.”

Based on her Wikipedia entry, I suspect they have also been the source of her rent and tuition.

Add Mulaney to the list of celebs that need to go away. I thought he was cute for five minutes, until I realized how unfunny and tiresome he is.

[quote]“And finally, about the endless source of my heartbreak and rage — men.”

Honey, I'll tell you the same thing Carrie Bradshaw's shrink told her:

The common denominator is you.

Tendler to the Touch.

So - sounds like to me Olivia Munn went after him, got pregnant and then Mulvaney had to make a decision because Munn was keeping the kid.

Olivia Munn is a star-fucker. She's not that talented or attractive.

The devil in this scenario is Olivia Munn - but she seems to have escaped all responsibility.

She's fucked EVERYONE! No seriously. Aaron Rodgers, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake, Matthew Morrison, Bryan Greenberg, Tucker Roberts - the list goes on and on and on.

who are these people

r12 How can you tell from his eyes?

I find Olivia Munn tedious, but who cares who she’s fucked?

Tender sounds off.

I knew a couple in school. Guy was a prissy , fussy Catholic type. Girl was a brash, ball-busting type. I never understood why they were together. Reminds me of Mulaney and Tendler.

Olivia Munn and her turbo cunt

John Mulaney, Aaron Rodgers, Chris Pine?

She’s an Aspiephile.

I don’t really know who this guy is but she seems to always look very angry

I would suck him so hard his head would cave in

No thread is safe from the neurodivergent troll.

She sounds like she's the Winona Ryder (aka "Wanna Ride Her?") of her generation: obsessed with sleeping with every single famous man she can. I wonder fi she's as fucked up as Winona.

^^^Olivia Munn, I mean... not Tendler.

Oh, no, the Asperger’s Troll has invaded another thread! Can someone go to his house and unalphabetize his spice rack to keep him busy for a few hours?

R34, we're on DL. If not for the jealousy, Munn would be our patron saint for exactly that reason.

R32 classic sign of autism

She's got Neurodivergent Eyes

Hi, Kim Carnes!

Mulaney came on Seth Meyers show with some bullshit timeline of him getting with Munn, still not owning up to cheating. I hope Munn fucks him over big time.

I thought she was dating harry Stiles?

Munn and Mulaney sound like they deserve each other.

She's a starfucker who goes from one to another to support her AND give her celebrity. He's a cheater.

One of their life strategies is going to eventually break them up. My bet is his cheating since her best days ended with her 20s.

how do i block the incessant autism/aspergers troll?? i know how to block but i just need a specific post number, there are so many and i thought i had blocked them weeks ago!!!

I hear ya, sistah. My dog is probably my number one reason for staying alive, too.

I don't know why some of you have dragged John and Olivia into this. This is all his crazy ex wife, she wrote the book. John and Olivia are minding their own business.

He seems hot and likable. He also gives off big-dick energy.

R44 I was kind and looked at my blocked listings. You can search for the person who posted this:

"No, they started when his brain started neurodiverging on its merry way in the womb."

Block it. It has posted a number of times in this thread and is one of the IDs of the Autism Troll - it has several identities.

Maybe it is the Multiple Personality Disorder troll.

R34 - no - she's NOT like Wynona Ryder. Wynona Ryder was supremely famous for a while - an A list star WITH talent and stunning beauty.

Munn is a 40 something C-lister with some supporting role credits. She's not ugly - but she's NO Wynona.

R50, I appreciate her talent but Winona was never a great beauty. She looked like a skinny, femme boy.

I'm interested in this

I like John Mulaney but the split from his wife is VERY suspicious and unseemly

He split from her mere MOMENTS out of rehab. He put her thru shit with his addictions and she helped get him help - and you're not supposed to do ANY major changes for like 6mos to a year out of rehab.

But the first thing he does out of rehab is hook up with very beautiful known starfucker, gets her pregnant, then leaves his wife.

And he famously had bits in his comedy talking about never wanting kids.

I wold be fucking enraged and confused if I were the wife. I got no problem with her going public - I'll definitely buy the book

[quote]Winona was never a great beauty.

Yeah, what a dog.

[quote] Honey, take a lesson from Natalie Portman on how to handle a public breakup with class and dignity.

Natalie has had practice. In her V For Vendetta era when she had a shaved head and smoked, she flew to Buenos Aires to confront Gael Garcia Bernal and got into a physical fight with the paparazzi next to her car on the street.

[quote]How can you tell from his eyes?

You can’t. If he was autistic he would be living in his parents house with a minimum wage job. He wouldn’t be out in front of an audience.

Assburgers Troll just wants to fit in. Can’t deal with the fact that he’s just a freak.

Olivia Munn has been down on everything but the Titanic.

[quote] She's fucked EVERYONE! No seriously. Aaron Rodgers, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake ...

If DL is any guide, there's another common denominator here ...

[QUOTE] I believe this story is true, because Allen and Previn, both obviously on the Spectrum, would have immediately recognized him as one of their own.

Woody Allen obviously on the spectrum? I don't get that vibe from him.

[quote]He put her thru shit with his addictions and she helped get him help

The crazy bitch wasn't even invited to her own husband's intervention. No one liked her, just tolerated her until John wised up, unfortunately it wasn't until after an addiction and a stay in rehab, that John ditched her.

It’s not so much that he cheated on her it’s that he used her as part of his shtick in his act to seem like a good guy while secretly doing a ton of drugs then knocking up a starlet on the side. Olivia will dump him once she is bored but she got her meal ticket in the meantime.

He got married pretty young. She was young too. I always look askance at young people getting married— especially if they are creative types. It suggests someone got their hooks into the other— never a good thing.

Honestly, I’m relieved he has a dark side. He was way too white bread before his rehab scandal. I like my comedy dark.

"Men Have Called Her Crazy" is too cutesy and will make people dismiss her as "crazy." Flip side, I guess it will attract certain women readers.

I purchased "I'm glad my mom is dead" and I'm not able to finish it

I liked Jennette McCurdy’s book a lot. As far as the celebrity agony memoir goes, hers was very good

The title is too victim-y. She is/was crazy, in the colloquial sense. So the implicit criticism of men who observed it is off-putting.

There was something weird about how the Mulaney/Munn cheating “scandal” was covered. It should not have been that big of a deal. People don’t care that much about celebrities cheating and there is nothing about Tendler that would inspire extra outrage on her behalf. Some of it was that they were cutesy about the timeline, but I suspect there was an unreported element that reflects poorly on Munn. Some articles said they met at church, so I’m thinking she picked him up at an AA meeting when he was five minutes out of rehab. She has no apparent history of substance abuse, but maybe that’s part of it.

Yes, this is a completely unsupported hypothesis.

Gayer than an Ungaro frock in spring.

Something many people did realize was that John was fucking quite a bit on tour, especially the college tours. It was never a happy marriage, it was a marriage that he was somewhat guilted into. Tendler is, was a bully.

Mulaney is high in OP’s pic.

[quote]If he was autistic he would be living in his parents house with a minimum wage job.

Say what???

No comment on her story but do people have time to read memoirs of comedians' ex spouses? You'd have to be so deep on John Mulaney and comedy to care.

[quote] If DL is any guide

It really shouldn’t be.

He talked about Tendler so much in his act. That made the cheating more of a story. Plus, he has made several jokes over the years about killing wives. That was always a red flag.

He also talked about Tendler in a weirdly presentational way, as if she were a doll he played with and not a person.

Then there is her seeming lack of accomplishment. She seemed to be princess looking to be coddled.

Mulaney is old school in some ways, so he might have been ok with his doll housewife at home as long as he was allowed to cheat. But the baby probably changed things.

I wonder if he and Tendler used together and that’s why she wasn’t invited to the intervention.

She has that skinny, waxen look female junkies get sometimes.

She wasn't invited because no one likes her. I'm sure you guys all have that friend with a partner who no one likes, but tolerates for your friend's sake. She also enjoyed spending John's money and got quite a nice settlement and, I believe, their country house.

I’m curious about her book. Call me a bpd frau!

When he did that skit about the admiral and played the pass-around party bottom, I started to connect the dots. Remember he's also a lifelong fan of musicals.

Don’t forget his joke about “going down on some rockin’ twink,” r79.

She should have just drowned her sorrows in ice cream and put on 20 lbs like a normal woman. She would eventually have gotten over it when she saw how fat she got. Writing a book about a breakup is overkill. Mulaney will probably start using again at some point, anyway.

[quote]She's fucked EVERYONE! No seriously. Aaron Rodgers, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake, Matthew Morrison, Bryan Greenberg, Tucker Roberts - the list goes on and on and on.

So many FAGS!

r66 and your point is?

Which part was difficult for you, r83?

She needs to move on. Does she want being cheated on to be her whole personality?

Do happy people not write tell-alls or does no one want to read them?

Or are so many unhappy people writing them that you have to not only be unhappy but also photogenic to be published?

I mean, to hear all these rich, famous, and attractive people tell it, their lives are excruciating all the time in every way. It must be that the people who are keeping their chins up, soldiering on, and not saying anything unless it’s nice have just not figured out how to monetize their heroism yet.

R56 as an argentinean I remember this well. She flew her ass several thousand miles down here to get GGB back from his argentinean gf, and failed, not before making a bit of a spectacle of herself on a couple of occassions. Guess she felt since she wasn't in America or Europe it didn't matter what people thought there.

It’s probably been said upstream, but he’s skinny and tall, so probably packing.

But she’s nuts, and he’s a self-absorbed asshole—but I’d still fuck his ass.

[quote] Do happy people not write tell-alls or does no one want to read them?

A "tell-all" is not going to be the product of a happy and satisfied person.

Several stars have written very upbeat memoirs (Mel Tormé's "It Wasn't All Velvet" comes to mind), but they usually avoid mean gossip purposefully.

Oh great, another book by some cunt bitching about men. I'll run right out and buy it.

Why does this need to be a book? Couldn't she just write an article about it or even do an interview with Oprah? She has zero interest to anyone except as Mulaney's ex-wife. The entire book has to be a hatchet piece on him from cover to cover in order for it to have any relevance to most of the audience.

[quote] But she’s nuts, and he’s a self-absorbed asshole

Why is she "nuts" for writing a book about being dumped but he's not nuts for his raging addictions, bleating about how great his wife/partner is since 2014, how he doesn't want kids, then trashes the marriage and impregnates a woman 5 minutes later?

If my partner did that to me granted, I wouldn't write a book, i'd gut him with my ginsu paring knife. That's what crazy looks like, people.

R92. He’s a big fucking mess, and in many ways she’s lucky that messy man-child is gone.

But she needs to move on and get a life.

We will start with the fact that Mulaney is crazy, as that is a given.

For backstory, we will pepper in the fact he might be gay.

R94 He's not gay (though he loves queerbaiting), but I guarantee he demands to be pegged nightly. And I would be surprised if he hasn't blown at least one guy for drugs.

One of my best friends is a sometimes comic and she's dated a lot of male comics. She says across the board they're (the straight ones at least) all pussy hounds but obsessed with their own assholes. Also miserable bastards.

Very nice, r94. Lunch on me at the Salt & Pepper Diner

r92 = Betty Broderick

He does come across as a needy, bi bottom.

[quote]She's fucked EVERYONE! No seriously. Aaron Rodgers

HAHAHA they did not fuck.

Good for the former Mrs. Mulaney. I think her ex-husband is hilarious, but he’s also messy as fuck. Cheating with Olivia Munn and getting her pregnant is just…nasty.

I still laugh about good ol' Olivia finally trapping a famous guy for good by having his kid. There is no way I would ever believe she got pregnant accidentally. She's a mess, he's a mess and the ex is a mess. There's no winner in that little triangle.

There is nothing in this book about John. It’s her life since the divorce. I predict zero book sales.

I think people fail to appreciate the public humiliation of being dumped (in an especially insulting way) when your spouse/partner is famous.

Sucks enough when said partner is Joe Schmoe.

Mulaney was immediately making public appearances showing off the new goods. He was turning the knife.

Fuck him.

Mulaney handled everything really terribly, but I also wonder what their life was like leading up to the breakup. They don’t seem to have much in common at all. Couldn’t have been easy quarantining with someone you have nothing in common with.

I hope Seth Meyers has to interview her after her provided cover for Mulaney.

* he * meaning Meyers, he let Mulaney come on his show and encouraged him with his fake timeline to cover for Mulaney hooking up with Munn while still living with his wife

For Olivia’s age, she must have been popping ovulation stimulants like crazy.

Not necessarily. A lot of women aren’t infertile in their 40s, but they’re not as fertile they were in their 20s (which is extremely).

He used her for his act and then publicly humiliated her. She should do whatever she wants.

I'm barely interested enough in Mulaney to read this thread, no way am I spending money to read his ex-wife's postmortem of their marriage.

Who would buy this? He did drugs right? Moved on from wife ? Is that book worthy?

I’m R111 Didn’t read the posts. He got a celeb preg. & did drugs. Hurtful. Still won’t read her book.

He was awful last night. Blathering on unfunny, then he kept standing in front of the winners. Get on and get off.

R113 Wow. My partner and I thought he was the best thing that night, and I trashed the guy earlier on this thread. He was genuinely funny, hence the applause.

No he wasn’t.

He was great last night, people are talking about him hosting next year.

Mulaney's hair looked great last night.

The problem with his bit is it had zero to do with his category.

He is too smug

[quote] The problem with his bit is it had zero to do with his category.

Not exactly. He started by making fun of 'talkies' being such an advance, as in, who knew sound would make movies better. Then he goes into the weeds with his favorite sound movie. Do you people even understand humor?

Yeah, it didn’t set up the category at all. It was masturbation.

It was a host bit not a presenter.

She's clearly the Judy Nelson of stand-up!

He was very funny. Hire him as co host with Kimmel.

Mulaney got up there and did a monologue, it took up too much time and was not appropriate for a presenter

Fuck you R124

"The problem with his bit is it had zero to do with his category."

Flip side; that's why people liked it.

….”people are talking about him hosting next year”.

That’s Mulvaney talking to himself again.

Looks like Mulaney's publicist found us

I don’t like his new chin.

It’s very Zac Efron.

I thought he looked different.

Even rightwing fascist Ben Shapiro says Mulvaney should host the Oscars. His humor has broad appeal.

Was the ex’s book announcement timed to coincide with John’s Oscar appearance?

He’s starting to look sleazy. Not unattractive… just sleazy.

It’s interesting how much his looks have changed over the past 12 years. He hasn’t really aged— just looks like a completely different person.

He made her a huge part of his act before Munn. He presented himself as someone who really loved his wife and went on and on how they never wanted kids, were happily childfree etc. It was refreshing (albeit total bullshit).

Now he and Munn are all over social media posing with their kid, talking about how he’s the best thing that ever happened to them. Much less refreshing.

I won’t read her book, but good for her writing it. Why not?

Munn is a fool for having a kid with a poly-addict who has very little sobriety time. John’s current obsession with parenting sounds like his addictive nature finding something to spin on, for the time being.

Yeah, there’s no way this doesn’t end in tears for their kid. It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck.

I don’t know if Munn is fucked up or just a standard issue “I navigate life with my pussy” skank. Mulaney is definitely fucked up.

Has anyone listened to the 'Celebrity Memoir Book Club' episode on Olivia Munn's book? She's an absolute shit stain of a human being. Far worse than you could imagine.

Olivia Munn has cancer. From the DM:

Olivia Munn, 43, reveals she has been diagnosed with breast cancer - just two months after getting a NEGATIVE mammogram - and has had to undergo FOUR surgeries, including a double mastectomy, in the last ten months

R143

john and anna are both children of privilege but i really can’t imagine what it’s like when you have a famous alcoholic junkie husband who got famous in large part based on talking about how much he loves you and how much you both don’t want kids.

you are therefore a public figure because of him, like it or not. he then spirals out, goes to rehab, divorces you, and knocks up one of hollywood’s thirstiest beards all in less than a year. and it’s constantly everywhere online. pictures of their happy family etc. and he’s still the darling of snl fanboys etc everywhere. at the oscars. imagine being bombarded w an ex in that way, it sounds dreadful.

She actually seems to have talents of her own. I can’t imagine going through something like that so publicly.

Olivia, if you have to hire a nanny, make sure he or she is the ugliest one you can find.

Olivia Munn has cancer and it looks like John's photo beside her hospital bed is as much involvement as he can really muster right now what with all the Oscar buzz!

He has guppy eyes.

R147 Olivia was with him on the red carpet at the Oscars. Her cancer was caught before it took hold, and it looks like she recovered from her surgeries quite well.

I'm happy that they caught it in time. I like her and she makes John happy.

The amount of hate that John is going to get when he dumps Olivia after her cancer diagnosis and double vasectomy. That will kill his chances of ever hosting the Oscars.

Oh fucking dear, R151 😂 😂 😂

She couldn't post a pic of herself post surgery? She looks a bit too fresh in that one.

Who?

What?

I can't imagine anyone really cares.

Is Mann crazy enough to get her boobs cut off for attention like Angelina?

She has cancer? Paging Rosie O'Donnell

Wtf is a double vasectomy.

I’m wondering who took the video of her getting the MRI results confirming she had cancer. Is this a service the hospital provides, or was John doing it with his phone? What a memory to capture.

Jesus, she’s so tacky. I wonder how John’s uptight family reacts to her?

I’m sorry she’s sick, but Christ Almighty those hospital pictures are completely without dignity.

Was Chrissy Teigen taking the pictures?

Look at MEEEEEEE

Kind of ironic that now Mulaney is tied down with a kid to a woman who seems to need a lot of attention. Doesn't sound like he gained much leaving the wifey.

Why did his face look so wide at the Oscars?

John is centimeters away from a relapse.

How many times have John and Pete had sex together?

Mulaney looked weirdly tan and beefy at the Oscars. I liked pasty nerdy John.

He looks hella good in the 70's getup in that Documentary Now! skit. The hair and facial hair covers his lozenged shaped head.

In their IG videos from pre-Oscars, John looks… resigned. He’s smiling wryly and looks vaguely depressed. Olivia looks happy as a clam.

John has a very “made my bed, now I gotta lie it” vibe. But that can’t last forever.

I hope he's feeling trapped, he brought it on himself.

I just googled John and discovered that he's a Virgo male. Now it all makes sense.

Taryn Manning’s comment at r147’s pic is crazy!

All I can now see is his chin implant. Thanks guys.

I just read there is nothing pertaining to him in the book, he dodged a bullet because she could have done him dirty

[quote]For Olivia’s age, she must have been popping ovulation stimulants like crazy.

Do they cause cancer?

I really liked Mullaney as "Julian" - the Pass Around Party Bottom @1:26
