Rushdie, Sir!

The spat began with Glenn calling Rushdie “cowardly, dysfunctional and immature.” She complained that “he would talk about (former wife) Padma (Lakshmi) day and night. He felt hurt and betrayed by her. He would talk about her so much I’d ask him to stop.”
Glenn, who stars in Monty Python’s Spamalot, says Rushdie broke up with her via email, “I felt like I’d been hit by a truck… He stole more than a year of my life.”

Rushdie fired back in the New York Post: “The reason I broke up with Pia Glenn is that I came to feel that she’s an unstable person who carries around a large, radioactive bucket of stress wherever she goes. It was just exhausting to deal with,” adding that she is “an accomplished liar … confused, and desperate for attention.”

He added: “What most distresses me, however, is her statement that I am still ‘obsessed’ with my ex-wife, Padma Lakshmi. When my marriage to Padma ended I was saddened and hurt, that’s true, but that was two and a half years ago, and, like any adult, I have accepted the world as it is.”
