0:00 thank you [Music] anyone who's married will have a very valuable opinion on this one so you know the famous actor Kevin Costner he's going through a divorce right now with his wife oh Kevin Costner yeah and they've got a I think their house just the house alone is like 145 million dollar damn wow something crazy so uh they have kids and everything in the prenuptial agreement however it does state that if they were to get a divorce his wife would have to leave the house she can't live there she would have to find her own place to live but it has also stated that he has to give her a million dollars as a way to like start up looking for a place to live alternatively but she's refusing to go

0:52 why she owns more money probably yeah but there's no way to get it because their prenuptial agreement was very set in stone and specific wow but um she's refusing to leave saying that Kevin Costner is trying to force her into homelessness even though he is giving her money but one million dollars is not a lot if if you live in the 100 million dollar home and have a massage from okay from Mel Gibson we don't know we're a million could buy everything the million maybe not be worth as much as it as it was back yeah I can't live like these middle class peasants with a million dollar home that's what she's saying basically keep up the lifestyle yeah it is done I'm sure that is a big

1:42 argument in like divorce cases right when it when it comes down to like child support and all that absolutely yeah like they do factor in like this was my lifestyle I had before and it must be maintained right which is kind of like a that's weird yeah I do think the contract is the contract though yeah like if that's what you signed you should have updated it yeah like if you signed it then that's where you're supposed to uphold yeah they could have like renegotiated it'll be like hey can we like up this because and then get a divorce next week yeah yeah because um I heard that in California like a lot of the times prenups get thrown out and then they really yeah it's pretty yeah yeah that's that's I've seen that a lot I heard that like um even if you don't get married but you are what is it cohabitating or whatever if you just live together over 10 years you're considered married by the state

2:32 so what sucks is you don't even get to file taxes and like benefit together and get all those things but then um if you do separate there it's on grounds of like you can't be treated as if you're married so I'm like that doesn't make any sense that's a little weird because what if one was like making more than the other or whatever and then like now you're entitled to half and then like but then you didn't benefit from the tax deductions and all that stuff it's ████ weird yeah it's hard because there are such clear um distinctions within the prenup that are obviously not advantageous to her side but she signed it like he gets to keep the blue bike he gets to keep the wheels he takes the seat he has a Nintendo she gets the Sega Genesis but there's no games on it

3:22 the team Breadwinner and she was kind of like a note uh or she's like an actress well that's the thing it's scaled so like let's say a woman like her to like us would be like wow you know but for him a net worth of 250 million and go and growing she's really like down there compared to him almost like he elevated her status or whatever yeah it says here that he had funded like when they were still married he had funded her businesses which both failed so like you know and then that at the end when she was seeking a lawyer to help handle this whole uh debacle she used his credit card charged ninety six thousand dollars for the expenses on that so he's like you're using my money to get more money from me yeah and in

4:14 the agreement she's trying to say that like oh he's trying to kick me and my children out so that we're homeless and he's like no honey just you yeah it says distinctly the kids are free to choose wherever they want to go at any time they can go to your place they can go to mine they can go to a s█████ million dollar Place yeah [Applause] exactly they can go to your Palazzo estate yeah it's like a thing where he's like not saying they have to leave he's saying now they get a choice Kevin Costner saying there's a problem you have not made the other place for them to choose Ah that's the thing and she's like saying we have nowhere to go he's like you didn't get a place honey yeah it's it's one of those things where like she's sending out all these public

5:04 statements about things that he's doing and he just keeps putting the original contract out where it literally says that in the paper is the are the kids older they're they're not older but they are like I don't know it's hard to tell they look like freaking models yeah oh he's got little ones damn that kind of sucks you want kids like that huh pretty good yeah Kevin costumes are so messy really good yeah so it's for me I'm like aside from the money ████ like damn you just couldn't compromise or solve it huh with the little ones around yeah and because sometimes I'm like if y'all ain't ████ beating each other up and it's not crazy where everyone's drunk all day and it's like really ████ bad because some people just need to get away from each other but if it's like dude you already disinvested you got kids and it's just

5:54 it's because you're just not working out and it's like I'm like what's the real reason all right you think she's very reasonable this lady I have no idea but I would like to believe as a man that she crazy but then I also believe like this is my stereotype about hello rich people is like it's like they don't like discomfort and if they could pay for it they'll just deal with it and then I'm like it could be at this point where you know they're just like ah ████ I don't this is inconvenience so she's the one filing for divorce oh so it's not him okay it's not him okay she is probably just crazy there but she's also the one that that Kevin Costner's lawyers are stating that is not answering whenever they're like hey did you do this did you do that you know she's just not responding so they're like how can we move this

6:44 forward because they're supposed to give her a million bucks plus 200 Grand in the first year to like help with things pay for insurance pay for like things like that if she was caught or like if he was caught cheating right doesn't that void the marriage it may but in this filing it I think it's just irreconcilable differences I don't think it's a no but then like I'm saying if like you wrote a prenup in normal and then you had him yeah that means that the the marriage was the right to clean up no like like you violated the marriage because you violated the contract right no longer I've seen that happen I don't know if that would because in okay so that's one of the things is that if she was filing for divorce because he violated the marriage contract then the prenup would be void but in this case it's it's not so it's just a preference so you're like I don't love you anymore yeah if you

7:34 file under irreconcilable differences there's no blame on either side I feel like those are so stupid yeah this is the most common though because they're like it's such a selfish thing if you have children to do just mommy daddy just don't get along anymore it's like are you screaming and ████ throwing plates at each other no then being an adult and figure it out work it out the idea of like I think that's funny to look at these problems in scale it's like somebody's giving you a million dollars to go get a place for you and your kids okay I'll take it let's go for people like us we can think of so many ways yeah but like for them is that the equivalent of sending us away with like a I don't know 800 bucks probably by scale because by scale like let's say an average home would be 1.4 million right for like a upper middle class or for them to stay in the neighborhood that's familiar to them that's like giving her 140 Grand

8:25 um that's the equivalent because their home is like 140 million 145 mil and then so they're giving them a million plus I know that when you have that divorce it's like lawful to try to keep the kids within the community that they are used to right yeah so you can't just make them live in Mid City actually it's like giving them 10 grand not 100 yeah yeah yeah how fast do you think they blow through money with the lifestyle that the kids are used to it must be pretty quick right yeah but just make ████ Kevin Costner pay for it all you know well the money's for her to do anyway right the money's for her right and who knows how much she has like from her own whatever but that million is supposed to be her move money and then the the Kevin Costner never said he's cutting out the

9:15 kids they can choose where to live but that's separate yeah I think I think she can't really have grounds of like well the kids need money for child support for that little detail about her having two failed businesses that she that he funded what do you does that isn't that a great look I mean also don't most like first businesses fail depends on what it is for the most I mean but you're also like the resourcefulness of people like that and the money that they have you would assume that they probably have you know people in positions to do jobs well enough to not fail and to have your husband endorse it hey right your house is worth 145 million dollars you should just like build up her own little house on the plot same place if your house is that expensive you

10:05 could have a back house his argument his argument is that Kevin Costner right now is getting ready for like he's invested in this massive like I believe it's like a Trilogy or like a movie deal or something and he needs to not see her around because it it's damaging to his mentality while he's focusing on this thing bodyguard too that's really ████ good but she's the one for it she's the one that filed for it right so he's saying like for his own mental health he would prefer that the prenup and everything go through so he can focus on his stuff and she's not always around because she's not leaving that's the problem he's like it stays here you gotta go why is she having a tantrum because I don't think I don't think her side of the of the uh of the litigation believes that the prenup should be applied or they don't think it's a loss so it's now she has to make

10:56 moves to because if she does leave then it's all said and done if she wants to extract more to what she thinks she's entitled to it might be her last stand right okay okay it might be that might be why what are what are the uh commenters saying I haven't seen any comments about it but I could probably guess that you know men and women will be pretty divided I don't think so I think women are pretty clear-cut on this yeah what do you think the woman gonna say they're team Costner dude also also it should be noted that 145 million dollar house he bought it before they were married from The Bodyguard yeah damn so that's his ████ he let her move in let her move in yes yeah what's the most Banger Kevin Costner get her the ████ out of there man he earned all that ████ which one the highest chances

11:48 dude yeah if he bought that ████ and then she came into his life you believe in prenup I think if I could if I were to defend her it would be like 145. it would be at what like how she supported him during what phases of life and like sacrifices she made to right to to be with the value for yeah like if she if she was giving up something like if she if you could clearly show that she had something going on but how do you yeah and then she gave that up like let's say like she had a job that would pay x amount per year and she gave that up to do other things with him she would say well these period of time let's say like five years of being with you before the divorce I would have made x amount

12:38 um she could barely argued dude she was she was probably helping him out so much she was probably doing that I'm sure she was she was doing it she was doing the self tapes dude she was probably reading the other side he's all doing the he was all doing The Bodyguard lines and then he's like no no no no no no honey it's it's this it's a little pitchy but people foreign

// end of tape
