Country music is all about three chords and the truth, and sometimes the truth isn’t pretty. Some of your favorite country stars have lived the heartache they sing about in their songs through very volatile marriages, and some of them have even splashed across the headlines.
Contentious marriages are the stuff of country legend at times. Do you know which all-time country music icon’s wife sewed him into a sheet and beat him with a broomstick?
Drugs, alcohol and infidelity played a large role in some of country music’s most volatile marriages. One country star claimed her equally famous spouse chased her around the house with a shotgun, while another alleged that her country singer husband threatened to bite her nose off in a heated argument.
