Thandiwe Newton's divorce from Ol Parker shakes things up, likely headed for rehab

Thandiwe Newton and Ol Parker are going through a divorce, and she has quit Magic Mike 3 due to a bust-up with Channing Tatum and is heading to rehab. The news comes just after three days when it was claimed that she was sacked due to the bust-up.

Thandiwe Newton's agent flew from LA to London to smooth things over as the movie staff was getting worried about the actor's health. People claim that Thandiwe Newton has been going through personal and emotional problems since she separated from her husband Ol, who is 52 years old. They have three children together.

People on the set claimed that she could not cope and broke down on the set. She could not play the role as she acted strangely on set. A Warner Bros. Pictures man stated that she has decided to step away from the movie as she is dealing with some personal problems.

Salma Hayek has replaced Thandiwe Newton, and the former Magic Mike actress is now separating from her husband and heading to rehab. She recently claimed that she had not been sacked.


A British filmmaker, Ol, directed and wrote Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again in 2018. People claim that Thandiwe has been so stressed that she brought her two rabbits to her hotel for emotional support.

Reports suggest that her new agent from the US came to visit her as she fired her old agent of three decades. Gaby Morgerman is her new agent and is considered to be one of the most powerful agents in the industry. She has worked for William Morris (a powerhouse agency) and represented stars like Minnie Driver and Matthew McConaughey during her 30-year career.

She fired her UK team recently, and her team wants her to go to rehab as soon as possible. Her team tried to arrange for her to go to rehab in Malibu, but that didn't work out. Now her team is trying to get her to rehab in Arizona, provided she decides to go.
