When Lucy and Desi first met he was supposedly going between Lana Turner, Betty Grable + + he was also seeing someone he decided to name Freckles in his autobio at the time. It was rather serious, also because she didn’t expect him to stay away from other women. He felt that she understood him and didn’t complain and didn’t ask questions, wasn’t jealous etc. But after spending more time with Lucy he knew he had to break it off. Lucy was the love of his life. After that he didn’t date anyone as he did before Lucy. He went out with hookers and to him that was different. I’m not saying it’s right, but to him it was okay. In his culture it was okay. And honestly Lucy’s biggest problem in the marriage wasn’t that. I have said this repeatedly but I’ll say it again; I honestly believe she would have tolerated that. It was the drinking that did it. When Desi got really stressed running the studio, producing shows, being a part of their own and all that he started drinking and it got to be a huge problem.

I hope this helps you out a little.

Hi! Your blog is an absolute dream for any Lucy & Desi fan! I was wondering if you knew about any of the reasons for some of their fights? I know Lucy mentioned 'booze & broads" but like a specific reason. They were always fighting and Im curious.

Thank you! :)

Lucy and Desi were very different and they were both quite temperamental and most of their arguments came from that. They’d blow up easily and make up just as easily for the most part, but once Desi started drinking everything fell apart. It seems Lucy more or less learned to live with his philandering, but she couldn’t take the drinking and the rage that followed. (And just to make one thing clear right away, he never abused her. I don’t even know where that rumor comes from because no one can ever give me a source (lol) but I’ve read enough to say I’ve never read anything where it’s even been suggested that he hit her so people need to stop saying that. )

They were so in love tho and never stopped loving each other so that’s why they are so special and I think if they had quit in time (sold the studio - calmed down) the divorce could have been avoided. But I guess everything happens for a reason. I hope this answered your question.

Now, wait a minute! Wait a minute everybody! Now, stand still! Don’t make a move. Now, I don’t want any noise around here. My wife came down here to tell me something very important. That’s the only thing that counts right now. I don’t even want to hear a pin drop!

Your blog is AHHHH-MAZING!!! just thought i'd let you now (:

Thank you!

Hi! Just wanted to mention how much I love your blog so much :) Also, today my sister and I watched the biopic "Lucy", and I was wondering if you felt the way the biopic was played was accurate to what really happened in real life. Thanks!

Thank you!
It’s definitely a little bit of both. I must say I didn’t hate it. It’s by far the better of the two, but there were some factual errors and that’s always annoying. I loved the part where she talked about the hammer, but whether it’s true or not idk. I’ve never read anything that could confirm it but I think it was a nice touch. I will always prefer watching the real people tho like in a documentary instead of a biopic. Not really a fan of biopics tbh.
