Salman Rushdie spouse

The acclaimed novelist, 75, stirred controversy in his profession with his novel 'The Satanic Verses' that drew death threats from Iran's leader in the 1980s ...

Glenn, 30 years his junior, said Rushdie had remained obsessed with Lakshmi, and was so self-absorbed that he began most days by putting his name into Google to see what had been written about him. For example, despite letting her read newspaper articles he had written, usually while sitting in his lap, she said that 'anything but my gushing approval would be ignored'. She claimed that the CIA was aware of Rushdie's whereabouts and so his cover was blown. When he realized that she was lying he decided to end the relationship. Rushdie has been married four times, including to Elizabeth West Salman, pictured. 'It was horrifying to be told by a policeman that they believed that your wife was lying to you. By the time Luard passed in 1999, Rushdie had already been married twice more. He also criticized her 'frequent moodiness', 'brattish 'model behavior' ' and frequent coldness towards him. 'At its most unpleasant it was leveled at me from the Islamic side that the Jews made me do it,' Rushdie said. The couple divorced in 2004 And then for her to say that it was the police who were to be blamed and that I shouldn't trust them sets a kind of mindf*** and I had to make my judgments. They divorced in 2007
