Gary Coleman, the child actor who amassed a small fortune from TV show "Diff'rent Strokes" but ended up working as a security guard, secretly married and reportedly lost his virginity to a cute 22-year-old redhead six months ago and is working furiously to destroy this generous twist of fate. His wife, Shannon Price, has been described by one tabloid as "half [Coleman's] age and twice his height," and is the one who proposed, despite Coleman's notorious temper. She makes her money selling things on eBay, including Coleman memorabilia. They got married after a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon and "Inside Edition" did a whole big story. Sweet, right? Except they don't talk for days at a time, probably because Coleman is throwing things and his wife is having to call the police. Details, plus a quick video shot of the wife, after the jump.
Price and Coleman tell INSIDE EDITION the honeymoon stage of their marriage has waned with Price describing the relationship as âoff and on.â âWe may go a week and not speak to each other, but thatâs because youâre thinking and mulling things over,â says Coleman.
Price explains, saying, âYeah, Iâve locked myself in a room and stayed there because Iâm like, âYou know what? I donât even want to fight over this, its ridiculous.â Price admits on several occasions the fights have gone beyond yelling. âHe lets his anger conquer him sometimes, I donât like the violence, I really donâtâŚHe throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my directionâŚHeâs got to damage something before his anger stops.â
Coleman explains to INSIDE EDITION why he threw a printer on the morning of his interview with the television show. âI threw the printer because my agent wanted to send me a fax, and it wouldnât fax, and she (Price) was upset at me over something that I had done. And I just took that printer and said, âYou know what, you just need to die.ââ
According to Price, she has had to call the police on several occasions. âHe actually got a disorderly conduct ticket one time because we had gotten into an argument, just a minor argument in Provo. The guy gave him a ticket and he freaked out and he was on six months probationâŚHe had to go take an anger [management class].
