Robin Williams Broke? 'The Crazy Ones' Star Reveals Addiction And Money Problems, Admits He Returned To Television To Afford Alimony Payments [VIDEO]

Funny man Robin Williams will be shortly making his return to television after three decades, but the comedian let it be known that it is not necessarily because he wants to, but because he is losing money due to alimony payments.

I remember a decade or so back he went through a rehab program here in Oregon. Guess it didn't take. Yes, drugs screwing up a life is pretty darned sad.

I believe that incident is the one that he's referencing (with the Jack Daniels or whatever it was)

A friends dad's claim to fame was snorting lines with Robin Williams in the early 80's. I like him, hope things work out, but it's not sad that someone has to work, that's kind of life for most people.

It's sad that society gave him quite a bit of wealth in exchange for his use of great talent and that he blew it all.

Perhaps, but my guess is he also had one hell of a ride and a damn good bit of fun spending/snorting those dolla dolla bills yall.

Most people don't have to pay alimony of $20 million. Most jobs aren't based upon looking handsome.

Speaking of a preferred class not having to work, that's why the evil legal system awards alimony to women.

Robin Williams is not handsome. He is an extremely talented comedian and actor. Looking handsome may be the main criteria for too many actors, but it's never been the distinguishing feature for Williams.

Re: Robin Williams broke?

He's sure less handsome than he used to be. There aren't many leading man roles for a guy who looks this. All he has is his hair. He should retire, but the evil legal system says no.

He was never the HOT guy, he was always the funny guy or the great actor. That doesn't mean he's ugly, but he has never been a sex symbol or considered very handsome.

I feel ashamed of ever claiming such a blatant lie.

For some strange reason, it's funny when guys in drag try to be funny.

Sounds like he's burned too many bridges in Hollywood, or else he'd have no trouble landing a good movie role or 2. He's got 4 Oscar noms and a win, is universally adored by audiences in every vein of entertainment, so it sounds like he's done something to get blacklisted by his peers.
