He Was An Alcoholic and Womanizer

Cheat Sheet

Sadly, as time passed, their marriage turned sour, mostly due to Arnaz being an excessive drinker and worse, an even bigger womanizer. It caused major issues in their marriage, where Arnaz even said himself, “The more our love life deteriorated, the more we fought, the more unhappy we were, the more I drank.” And when it came to women, Lucille was aware of his infidelity. In fact, one story explains how Lucille took a magazine into her dressing room that was talking about his cheating, and her publicist Charles Pomerantz shared, “Everybody was frozen on the set. She finally came out, tossed the magazine to Desi and said, ‘Oh, hell, I could tell them worse than that’.” Of course producers didn’t want anyone to know that their marriage was falling apart considering that the show was all about a happy young couple in love!
