Kaley Cuoco

[Witchie]

I heard there was no prenup either. I wonder who got it right in the Divorce Pool.

So why the underlying glee about her marriage failing? Does Kaley kick puppies or something?

Probably because of how much time she devoted to publicizing their love/marriage. I don't even watch her show, and it's the only thing I know about her. It seemed really over the top and desperate. I wouldn't say gleeful, so much as completely unsurprising.

I guess being the "traditional little wifey" didn't work after all.

Oh, I'm giggling over this marriage ending, too. She went out of her way to proclaim this "GREAT! BIG! ROMANCE!" and how their quicky engagement, followed by an even quicker wedding which had to be plastered in great detail over their Trwu Wuv in US Weekly and other rags, it was just over the top.

Plus, she just had to be like, "I support my man and will have his name." and made sure to put it in her professional world, too. It was always this never-ending proclamation and she couldn't.stop.spreading.the.news.

A lot of people (especially the Greecies!) knew this wouldn't last. Now I'm off to the Divorce Pool to see who won!

I don't get it either. I feel like she's one of those celebrities I never see outside her jobs. She's in this uncanny celebrity valley where she's young and blonde and Hollywood pretty, but the only things she does are uncool stuff like a CBS old-people sitcom and car ads, so there just isn't much to gossip about.

I find myself hoping she wasn't too dumb to get a prenup, although the whole marriage seemed like she wanted to get married and found the first available guy, which is kind of sad. So she probably didn't. Maybe she can hire scary lawyers and try to buy off her ex with a one-time payment.

I know I'm awful for finding it amusing. She does seem like a perfectly nice person, but this was just so hilariously predictable. She even doubled down and made a big thing about being Kaley Cuoco SWEETING.

This marriage lasted about 19 months longer than I thought it would.

It does seem like she put a lot of effort into the marriage, it just wasn't enough to overcome the lack of thought that went into the initial decision to get married.

Nor was it enough to overcome the lack of thought that went into the decision to both get rather large-ish tattoos of their names and wedding dates on their bodies.

The only thing I remember about their wedding/marriage is that they had an over-the-top wedding cake. It was huge, covered in crystals and hung upside down from the chandelier.

I honestly don't really care about her one way or the other. She is so not on my radar most of the time. But she tends to comes off as a bit dim in interviews. Here's one of her more well-known missteps:

Redbook started all this by asking Kaley if she was a feminist, which is a question you should never ask anyone. Kales responded, "Is it bad if I say no?" before elaborating:

It's not really something I think about. Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality.

I'm sure people can think of other quotes. But yeah. This is a typical statement from her on things. Kinda oblivious.

I don't think she's low key in the least. First, she had the 5-second faux-mance with Henry Cavill, where they literally had paps on speed-dial to 'catch' them out shopping, out hiking, out faux-mancing. Then, when that blew up in her face about 2 weeks after it started, she did lay low for all of maybe six weeks when suddenly she was dating this dude...and then like a month later THEY were engaged and her publicist was back-dating how long they had been dating.

THEN, once they did get married, there were daily stories for at least a week about her wedding cake, her wedding dress, the surprise of it all, their rings, etc etc etc.

So, yeah, that this imploded gives me a bit of a laugh--and I don't feel guilty about it at all.

I like Kaley well enough, but there is something about watching someone put on such an aggressive display of willfully stupid behavior that demands that the story get its proper ending.

I think her pride was really wounded by the Henry Cavill publicity fiasco, and her response to that was to create her own narrative - whirlwind romance, princess wedding and happy housewife fantasy. And IMO there was always an underlying antagonistic "I'll show you!" tone to the way she presented the whole thing. All of those happy couple instagrams had captions that essentially said, "eff you, haterz".

It actually sort of reminds me of how Renee Zellweger bounced back from getting dumped by Jack White - jumped on the first guy she met, married him four months later, made a big spectacle out of it (wedding photos on the cover of People Magazine) and got very bent out of shape about people being a little skeptical.

Kaley played house for a while with a douchebag she barely knew. This is going to hurt her pocketbook and probably her pride, but ultimately she's going to be fine, so I'm good with snarking on her for a while.
