Murdoch’s email purportedly started with his ex-wife’s name on it, telling her that he has chosen to finish their marriage The short email added that although they have positively had a few great times, he has a lot to do. The email ended with Rupert telling Jerry that his New York legal counsellor will contact hers right away for finalising the divorce process.
Gabriel’s Article Detailed the Divorce
Gabriel Sherman, a journalist who has covered the Murdoch empire for decades, stated that he had seen a copy of the email that was sent to Hall, and that he had written an article for Vanity Fair that went into detail about the contents of the email. The couple were separated in practically no time and openly demanded they stayed old buddies. However, in the article, friends of Hall were quoted as saying that she was devastated, mad, and humiliated after taking care of Murdoch through a series of health scares and being isolated from him throughout Covid. Ms Hall claimed in the article that she informed her friends that she had been given thirty days to vacate the couple’s Bel Air mansion. Ms Hall also added that she expected to create solicitations to show that the things she was eliminating were hers.
Sherman claims that a clause in the couple’s divorce agreement prevents Hall from suggesting future episodes of the television show called “Succession,” which is heavily influenced by the internal dynamics of the Murdoch family. He also reported that Lachlan Murdoch, Murdoch’s son, thought his brother James might have been in touch with the show’s creators.
What Do Rupert’s Children From Previous Marriages Want?
Murdoch’s four children from his first two marriages are fighting over who will inherit the business when he dies, just like Logan Roy in the fictional television series. While Lachlan is as of now vigorously engaged with the family organization, he faces an expected test from kin James, Elisabeth and Reasonability, who have either separated themselves from the organization or are just negligibly involved.

The Vanity Fair article goes into great detail about Murdoch’s failing health, including the fact that Hall had to give him a lot of care after he broke his back in a fall on a yacht in January 2018, which nearly cost him his life.
The billionaire was evacuated from the yacht and taken to Guadeloupe, a French territory in the Caribbean, where he discovered there was no hospital open. Until a special medical team could be flown in, Murdoch had to spend the night in the parking lot under a tent on a gurney.
