Newton-John "Had Split Up With" Missing Lover

[progmom]

Australian actress/singer Olivia Newton-John had split up with her lover Patrick McDermott before he went missing in July, according to her nephew. Emerson Newton-John claims the long-term relationship fizzled out after McDermott began drinking heavily, and he insists his aunt had no idea her partner was in serious financial trouble. He says, "It just naturally came to an end. Livvy saw it was not progressing. She knew he was drinking, she probably didn't want to deal with it..."

1. Well that adds an interesting spin.

I really wonder what happened? Did he fake it or is he in the ocean somewhere? :shrug: We may never know. His poor children (or child). How sad.

28. Is that Keats? Didn't he also say "Let's get physical. Physical.

I wanna get physical. Let's get into physical. Lemme hear your body talk. Your body talk. Lemme hear your body talk." *sniff* ... So moving. Words for the ages.

33. Maybe it ended because

she wanted to get Physical, physical.. However maybe he was too drunk to trying to let her hear his body talk...

[Liberalynn]

34. Thank you Progmom

it is a good thread. I was wondering why she hadn't helped him out financially. This would explain that. Olivia always seemed to be a very kind and generous person from her "press" at least. I used to love her music when I was growing up, and have to kind of admit still do like her music. Maybe that's because I am still growing up emotionally that is.
;)

I think he faked his disappearance but who knows.

Wasn't there a Prime Minister of Austraila who went for his morning walk and swim and never returned in the late 1960's early 70's, whose disappearance went unsolved? Maybe Livy's ex is with him? :shrug: ;)
