Reports of Newton and Parker breaking up first surfaced last week, after the two were spotted separately without their wedding rings. The last time they were filmed together in public was about two years ago, when they came together for the evening premiere of the third season of “Westworld.”
The two married in 1998, and as mentioned gave birth to 3 children together. As of this writing, it is not clear if they have already filed a formal divorce petition. The family has a home in London valued at $ 2 million and Newton recently fired her British PR team, who has worked for her for the past 30 years. According to reports, her American agent Gabi Morgerman Had to fly to London to try and resolve the crisis, but to no avail.

Along with rumors of a marital crisis, it was also learned that Newton retired from filming the third film in the “Magic Mike” series in which she was supposed to star. The official statement from the studios said: “Tandy made the difficult decision to leave the production in order to deal with family matters,” and the actress Salma Hayek Was called to replace.
Rumor has it that the decision to leave the production was not really in Newton’s hands but that she was actually fired after confronting the producer and star of the film on the set. Channing Taitum. A spokeswoman for the actress denied that this was the reason for her departure, but a source on the set said that the reason for the fight was that scandalous moment at the last Oscar, where he was slapped Will Smith’ ToChris Rock On stage live. Taitum and Newton reportedly got into a heated argument over the issue, from which they were unable to recover.
A source on the set said: “Channing Tatum is the producer and number one on the set. Tandy Newton is number two. But 11 days into filming it was all over. It started as a heated conversation that suddenly deteriorated greatly. Channing got in his car and drove away. The crew “We looked at each other in confusion, because we were supposed to continue filming. Then he announced that he did not intend to work with her anymore. Since he is the producer and this is his film, she was fired. Everything we filmed in those 11 days we will have to re-film with another actress.” The same actress who was called to replace Newton is, as mentioned, Hayek, and it is estimated that the additional filming will cost the production more than an additional $ 5,000.

A source on the set said it was clear to everyone that something was wrong with the actress: “She behaved strangely and looked very stressed. It was clear she was in crisis and it caused a lot of disruption. It was clear she was unable to play the role.” The anonymous source added: “A lot of things are happening in her personal life, she and her husband have separated. She seems very stressed, and she even brought her pet rabbits to the hotel to provide her with emotional support.” Another employee on the set said: “Everyone had a hard time working with her. She’s a real diva. I saw her pounce on the assistant director and the dresser. She’s always complaining or shouting about something.”
Newton insiders said they feared for her mental health and even asked her to be hospitalized at a mental health institution: “She does not look healthy and there is concern about her condition,” one of them told Page Six. Another added: “She is dealing with emotional and family issues.” At the same time, Newton refused their requests for help.

The star has previously told in interviews that she has experienced a number of mental crises throughout her life, and has shared her dealings with bulimia, racism directed at her and past sexual abuse. Newton previously told InStyle magazine that when she was 16, she developed an intimate and romantic relationship with the director John Doigan, Who was 39 at the time, leaving her on the verge of “self-destruction.” Newton claimed that Doigan took advantage of her and the fact that she was vulnerable: “I was very shy and very sweet. I was not in control of the situation. It was legal because I was 16, but it was forced on me. I wish things were different, obviously. But I appreciate myself “The way I survived it. I do not consider myself a victim.”
The star also told of a cast that asked her to touch herself while auditioning when she was 18: “He aimed the camera under my skirt and asked me to touch my chest and think of the guy who makes love to me in the scene. I thought it was weird, but there was another female band in the room with us And I’ve done weird things before, so I did it. ” Years later, Newton discovered that the same anonymous cast had kept the tape and projected it to his friends during poker evenings he attended.
Newton began working to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the industry, and pressured those around her. She said her publicist begged her to stop talking about these issues because he claimed “they are detrimental to your image.” Others advised her to shut up otherwise she would stop getting jobs. In retrospect, I know there have been cases that not only did not want to cast me, but other actors and actresses did not want to be identified with me, “she said in an interview with Marie Claire magazine in 2019.
Newton further described her days as a girl in the film industry: “It was very difficult for me. It’s not a place for young people, unless your mother is by your side all the time and it’s not always possible.” Nico, Newton’s 17-year-old daughter, starred in the movie “Dumbo” about three years ago, and Newton said she was on the set throughout the filming to make sure her daughter was treated properly.
