HAYWARD BLASTS HOPPER’S WIFE OVER DIVORCE BATTLE
DENNIS HOPPER’s first wife BROOKE HAYWARD is furious with the Hollywood l egend’s estranged spouse VICTORIA DUFFY for increasing his "suffering" du ring the weeks before his death.
The Easy Rider star passed away at his home in Venice, California on Sa turday (29May10) after a long struggle with prostate cancer.
He had been locked in a bitter legal battle with fifth wife Duffy since filing divorce papers earlier this year (10), shortly after he went publ ic with his cancer diagnosis.
Now Hayward, who was married to the actor for eight years from 1961, ha s slammed Duffy for blighting Hopper’s final months with "nasty accusatio ns".
She tells British newspaper The Sun, "Dennis was in so much pain becaus e of all the fighting he was going through with Victoria. It’s horrible t he way he died, but even worse when you think what she put him through. H e was suffering so much, but then he had to deal with all these nasty acc usations from her."
