True story. This is one of those truly amazing and rare pieces of “news” in this redundant and usually slow-moving gossip world. Apparently Bill Nye got a restraining order on his wife after she showed up in the middle of the night dresed in black with toxic chemicals and pranced on Bill Nye’s precious flower and produce garden.
… No. Really.
Bill Nye “The Science Guy” is asking a Los Angeles County judge for protection from his wife, after she pulled a late night raid on his flower and produce gardens. One needn’t be scientific to know that marriage isn’t going well!
TMZ obtained a request for a temporary restraining order, filed by Nye against his wife of just one year, Blair Tindal. In the handwritten documents, Bill claims his estranged wife showed up at his Studio City home on Labor Day, dressed in black and armed with two large bottles “filled with some sort of solvent” to do damage to his garden, which he says provides “food produce.”
Nye also alleges that the herbicide was “quite toxic” and thought Tindall might have squirted him in the eyes with it had she gotten closer. Not very Nyes!
Tindall responded to the order by describing the midnight bad vegetables incident as a “foolish, sophomoric act of poor judgment” brought on by a series of personal and family problems. She also strongly denied being a threat to Nye, and accuses him of “emotional cruelty.” The out of orbit couple wed last February in a curious ceremoy officiated by Pastor Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life.”
Well I think she was getting it right up until the part where she decided her best form of retribution was through the man’s effing garden. His GARDEN. At least she dressed in black. But it’s obvious this woman has not tried to fuck with someone since she was, oh… twelve years old. Though it was nice touch to use chemicals to get to Bill Nye (the science guy), of all people. I bet she was all “THIS IS METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE, BITCHES!” and he was all, “OH NO! NOT METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE ON MY PRECIOUS CUCUMBERS AND DAFFODILS!” and he called his lawyer on the spot. We need more pseudo-celebrity crazies like this, I tell ya.
