Why Tera Patrick Filed for Divorce

Posted by alison hart on December 22nd, 2009

Tera PatrickAs I mentioned in September, Tera Patrick is divorcing her husband of 7 years. Coincidentally, she also just wrote a book called Sinner Takes All that’ll be out at the end of the month.

Some folks who aren’t me got advance copies and, as people often do with unreleased books, have started pulling out some of the juicier details in an attempt to sell more books. This is a good strategy. It often works.

In the book, Tera says that the reason she’s divorcing Evan Seinfeld/Spyder Jonez is that he chose making porn over an agreement they made when they got married to stop performing after a few years. From industry blog YNOT:

“I said to Evan, ‘I’m your wife, and that is the strongest bond two people should have, and that should come first,’” Patrick wrote in the memoir. “‘I’ve moved on from porn. And I want you to stop. You promised me you’d only do porn for a few years. Your few years are up.’”

“His take was this: ‘I’m having a great time. I’m having my cake and I get to eat it, too.’”

I feel for her. Basically, he wanted to keep fucking other women even though he told her he would stop doing that. For his part, Spyder told Page Six that the marriage ended because Tera didn’t like to have sex.

“While it was great that we were the ‘First Couple’ of porn, the fact is Tera hates the industry. She’s not a sexual person. We barely had sex in our own marriage. She’s desperate to break into the mainstream, and just wants to generate press.” He continued, “I didn’t choose porn over her. Our marriage had a lot of holes in it, despite what she claims. I chose freedom.”

She didn’t like sex and he wanted to have sex with other women. Those seem like perfectly reasonable grounds to split up. In fact, I imagine people get divorced for very similar reasons all the time.

I guess the nicey nice things they were telling the media in September about how they’re still going to work together and be best friends forever weren’t really true. Go figure…
