Although Tom Hanks is popularly known as the nice and sweet guy in
Hollywood, it seems that there is a lot of controversy which still
shrouds his first marriage until today. In a published book that
supposedly detailed the actor's life, marriages and career, there are
stories that Hanks was a violent and cold-hearted man especially to
Lewes.
According to Lewes, Hanks constantly harassed her verbally and wanted
to end her career. The actress said that Hanks would humiliate her as
well as well as forced her into difficult and wrong decisions which
affected her starring roles in TV shows and films. In public divorce
records, Hanks denied the allegations and said that Lewes was only
trying to delay the divorce since she wanted to have a huge settlement
drawn out of him.
During the early eighties, Hanks' career was beginning to flourish
while his wife's was waning. His constant absence and dominating
presence left Lewes in emotional distress. She said that Hanks was
always out of the house and was absent for very long periods of time.
She could not work since she had to take care of their son and
daughter, Colin and Elizabeth. After nine years of marriage, Lewes
filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. It was only years
after when she revealed the shocking truths.
