Just 11 months after their wedding, Carrie Fisher filed for divorce due to irreconcilable differences. One of the main reasons why the marriage only lasted for such a short time was because Fisher was reportedly becoming overly dependent on drugs. Usually, prescription medications were the objects of abuse which were the topic of several of their disagreements. Fisher was also battling bipolar disorder so she would occasionally have mood swings and was hard to understand and converse with at times.
