Natalie Wood’s Marital Turmoil: The Hidden Truth Behind Her Perfect Marriage

The seemingly flawless union of Natalie Wood took a tumultuous turn when she allegedly discovered her husband engaging in an extramarital affair with their live-in butler, as unveiled by Suzanne Finstad's latest biography on Wood.

According to details disclosed by three close acquaintances of Wood to the Daily Mail, the actress stumbled upon her husband, Robert Wagner, in a compromising situation with their butler one fateful night during the early 1960s.

This unsettling revelation left Wood in a state of hysteria, leading her to shatter a crystal glass in her grip before seeking refuge at her neighbor's residence to contact her mother for assistance.

Subsequently seeking solace at her parent's abode, Wood secluded herself within a chamber, inadvertently overdosing on sleeping pills and necessitating prompt medical attention.

Isolated for a prolonged period following the distressing event, Wood endured a drastic decline in weight as the emotional strain weighed heavily upon her.

Finstad remarked that the renowned star never truly recuperated from the incident, which dealt a severe blow to her well-being.

The once inseparable couple, Wood and Wagner, parted ways in June 1961, culminating in a formal divorce a year later.

Speculations hinting at Wagner's purported homosexuality and bisexuality began to circulate, yet Wood vehemently refuted such claims and purportedly shouldered the blame for their separation to safeguard his professional reputation.

Subsequent to her divorce from film producer Richard Gregson several years later, Wood rekindled her relationship with Wagner, eventually remarrying him after their reunion in 1972.

Tragedy struck in 1981 with Wood's untimely demise by drowning, prompting speculations implicating Wagner in her tragic end.

However, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Wood's daughter, recently dispelled these insinuations in a revealing documentary featured in Closer Weekly.

Expressing incredulity at the baseless accusations, Natasha emphasized the accidental nature of her mother's demise.
