Andre Agassi and Brooke Shields had a bad marriage, to say the least. Although the two were touted as a celebrity power couple when they married in 1997, several personal issues cropped up soon after they tied the knot. Their eventual divorce helped the two move on to much healthier relationships. Brooke Shields has been rather open about how their marriage collapsed. She has also talked about the outburst Agassi had after she made a guest appearance in the hit sitcom FRIENDS. Recently, her close friend Drew Barrymore also slammed Shields’ ex-husband for his overreaction.
Agassi’s reaction after Shields’ FRIENDS appearance was destructive, to say the least. The former tennis player smashed quite a few of his trophies, and Shields had to replace them.

“I’m watching the documentary, and Andre Agassi is watching you do the FRIENDS moment, and he goes home, and he is so rageful that he destroys everything that’s meaningful to him. Every award that he’s won. Wimbledon, The Open, everything, every important trophy he destroys. I never speak to the fact, but a huge part of why I’m single, I don’t wanna hear it anymore from men.”
Barrymore also went on to talk about how she also went through something similar. The Charlie’s Angels actress herself has been divorced thrice and stated that she never wants to go through marriage again in an interview with People.
“You try to do your job during the day, and you go home at night to a man who doesn’t know how to deal with it, and I do nothing but then empathize with them and try to make it okay for them.”
