James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore reveals he was victim of domestic abuse

[4th law of robotics]

SIR Roger Moore has revealed he was the victim of domestic abuse by two of his former wives.
The James Bond actor has been married four times but says Doorn van Steyn and Dorothy Squires both attacked him physically during his unions to them.

"Doorn would scratch me," he said on Piers Morgan’s ITV show Life Stories.

"She threw a pot of tea at me. I’d been sunbathing in the garden, I came up and I’d taken off my pants and I gave her some smart Alec answer and this teapot came hurtling at me. I said, ‘Right, that’s it, I’m leaving’.

Although he never uses the phrase "domestic abuse" I think articles like this are a good thing. Men need to come out and acknowledge if they are victims instead of being shamed in to silence that benefits no one. There are many studies showing that men are victims of this far more often than previously believed but are extremely reluctant to report it.

And the fact that it's a Bond who is willing to state so publicly doesn't hurt.

/granted not the best Bond, but still.
