William Hurt Beat Me Up - Third Woman Goes Public
The death of actor William Hurt resurfaced allegations by ex-partners Marlee Matlin and Sandra Jennings that he was physically abusive to the women in his life.
Now another former lover is talking about her experience of allegedly being battered by the Oscar winner, whose career was unscathed by the stories of cruel violence. In an essay for Variety, writer and domestic-violence activist Donna Kaz relives how her romance with him in the late 1970s turned into torture that ended only when he dumped her as his career took off.
“Bill would snap, physically shove, punch and beat me, followed by tears, apologies and him offering me expensive gifts. When the battering began I sloughed it off. He said he was sorry. Perhaps I instigated it. I only had to visit the ER once. It was only after many, many years I admitted to myself that I was the victim of domestic violence.”

The beating has a payoff for the abuser, certainly, but the real fun is performing the sob story convincing the victim to take you back and let you do it ALL over again.
