Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe and then wanted her to quit her career and be a housewife. He became enraged when she did this shoot and used it as an excuse to beat her so badly that concerned hotel patrons called the police and her makeup artist had to cover the bruises with makeup the next day.
When asked about that night later on, Joe DiMaggio said, “Things got out of hand, I admit it. But she pissed me off so much. She didn’t care what I thought about anything, she just wanted to do what she wanted to do.”
Arthur Miller married her, and then constantly picked on her and complained in his journals that she embarrassed him, that she was unintelligent, self-centered, a child, a spoiled brat, and a bitch.
When I think about men who chase after one kind of woman and then want her to become another kind of woman, I think about her. I think wow you could be Marilyn freaking Monroe and still some man would want you to be somebody else and call that love.
