Sunny von Bülow's Marriage Was Much Nastier Than You Thought

🔔 Subscribe for the marriages the family spent decades keeping quiet.    / @rayssocietypages   In December of 1980, Sunny von Bülow was found on a bathroom floor in Newport and never spoke again. For 28 years the world argued about one question: did her husband, Claus, put her in that coma? He was convicted, then acquitted, and the insulin evidence that had convicted him fell apart on the stand. But the crime was never the nastiest thing about this marriage. Long before that door, Sunny and Claus were two people bound by a fortune and a name, with no love left between them. Claus lived on her money and could not stand it. Sunny had quietly begun to plan her exit. And after she went silent, the war over her body, her money, and her story ran for decades. It split her three children into enemy camps, disinherited her own teenage daughter, and was won by the side of the man accused of ending her, in a film that let a comatose woman narrate her own ruin. This is the marriage the headlines missed. Watch to the end, then tell me in the comments what you would call it.
