6. Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman – Honeymoon Hell Cruise
Famous Television actor Ernest Borgnine (okay you know him as Mermaid Man from Spongebob Squarepants) married his third wife, famous Broadway actress and singer Ethel Merman, in 1964. Merman was a well respected actress and Borgnine was much loved as a television comedian, so they seemed like a cute couple. For their honeymoon, Mermaid Man and Merman went to sea, taking a long, relaxing cruise, but when they returned it was as bitter enemies. On their honeymoon, the two fought furiously, non-stop with the two filing for divorce almost as soon as they reached dry dock. Merman accused Borgnine of being cruel, and the two engaged in a very public insult campaign. They were married less than one month.
