What Ted wants, he gets — including a professor’s wife
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007
Robert Olen Butler and Elizabeth Dewberry are popular writers and scholars at Florida State University in Tallahassee. They were also married — until Atlanta’s billionaire bad boy, Ted Turner, stole Dewberry’s heart. Now Dewberry, 44, is leaving her husband for Turner, 68.
Butler, 62, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for a collection of stories. Butler informed five graduate students via e-mail, assuming they’d keep things confidential. They have informed the world about the love triangle.
Butler’s e-mail states:
She will not be Ted’s only girlfriend. Ted is permanently and avowedly non-monogamous. But though he has several girlfriends, it is a very small number, and he does not take them up lightly and he gives them his absolute support when he does.
