EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Shannon Price Abusive Toward Gary Coleman, Called Him Stupid, Says His Attorney
Posted on Jun 23, 2010 @ 02:06PM
Gary Coleman’s ex-wife Shannon Price was often abusive toward him, called the actor ‘stupid’ and made comments about his height.
Those disturbing revelations come from Coleman’s lawyer Randy Kester, who revealed new details about Price in an exclusive video interview with RadarOnline.com.
He also revealed the couple did not sleep together and had separate bedrooms in their Santaquin, Utah, home, at the end of Coleman’s life.
“Shannon would demean him and say very personal things about him in public... she would frequently call him stupid,” Kester told RadarOnline.com.
“I thought it was an inappropriate relationship... Shannon’s treatment of Gary was harsh and it was domineering.
“It always bothered me.”

Kester added, “If Gary would respond in the wrong way, if he would disagree then there was this barrage of why he was wrong and why he shouldn’t be saying it that way... and even comments about his stature.”

Price has become a controversial figure since Coleman’s death.
The 24-year-old posed for photos with him on his deathbed and then profited from their sale. She also sold interviews about him within 24 hours of his death.
Price made the decision to take Coleman off life support, even though he had signed a document saying he wanted his life prolonged.
Now Kester has revealed some of the inner-most details from inside their tumultuous relationship, suggesting the union was unhealthy.
Kester told RadarOnline.com that Coleman’s relationship with Price “just didn’t seem to be a loving relationship. It was more dominant, subdued type of relationship.”
“They weren’t reluctant to talk loudly and harshly in public.”

Coleman and Price were secretly divorced but living together when he died, age 42.
She is trying to get a share of his estate with a hand-written codicil to his will.

Kester recalled one incident after a court hearing, when he saw “her (Shannon) literally dragging him to the car as if he was a little child.
“That just always stuck out in my mind as indicative of what the relationship was.”

Kester summed it up: “Everyone has their own subjective sense of what a loving relationship is I just don’t think what they had fit into the norm. It was extraordinary—it was off the wall almost.”

Sorry, it kept posting for some reason. I hate this twitter-like format on a discussion forum. I can understand it for tweets but not for a discussion.

There's a good chance that Kester is not used to listening to this type of banter. He sounds like a soft-spoken person from an area, Provo, where profanity is frowned upon.

I won't be purchasing her book that's for sure. But to bash her is a waste of time, let the courts sort it out.

While we may not agree with the way they chose to live, it was still THEIR choice. While I don't agree with the way she's handled things and think she's not as mature as she should be, it's still fact that they lived together.

I have to agree with Lauren Elizabeth, there is a reason she was still in his house and he didn't serve her with the restraining order. As odd as it seems to the rest of the world they had a relationship for their own reasons.

Lauren Eliz=Shannon's rep. If you don't stop blathering your BS Shannon can't sell any stupid news & won't be able to pay for ur botox & fake hair. Keep making rounds on Blog Comments - encourage her to fix her gums so we won't vomit when she smiles

Gary chose Shannon and was with her in the weeks before his death. He chose to hide the divorce and continue to allow her to live with him. Like it or not, they were a couple. Both had major personality issues. So what?
