At the age of 92, in the Paramount+ documentary series “Willie Nelson & Family”, music legend Willie Nelson unexpectedly revealed shocking secrets about his first marriage to his wife Martha Matthews. He did not hesitate to describe the fierce arguments and violent moments in their married life, when Mrs. Matthews once got angry and threw a fork across the table, stabbing him, creating unforgettable memories.
However, the story does not stop there. During a conflict, Mrs. Matthews once tied Willie in a blanket and used a jump rope to beat him. A story that sounds like something out of a movie but is the truth behind their stormy marriage. Surely few people know that Willie Nelson himself, famous for his gentle concert style, once experienced such tense moments.
Although the marriage only lasted ten years, these emotional battles were an integral part of Willie’s life. Was this violence the ultimate reason for their divorce in 1962?
Surely these revelations will make many people ponder the real life behind the image of a music legend, whose personal life was sometimes more mysterious and unbelievable than his songs.
