Danny DeVito is known for many things, but being a heartthrob isn’t one of them. However, good looks aren’t the only attribute people are attracted to. “He may not appear to be a ladies’ man, but Danny certainly gets a lot of female attention,” a source told Radar Online in 2012. The problem is that the “Batman Returns” star reportedly acted on the attention. “Danny can be quite the flirt and because of his powerful status in Hollywood, he’s not ashamed to abuse his position and chat-up young, aspiring woman looking to make it in the industry,” they contended.
Rhea Perlman apparently tried to accept DeVito’s womanizing ways at first, but it eventually got to her. “After years of turning a blind eye to it, Rhea finally snapped,” the source claimed. A few days later, an unnamed crew member, who worked with DeVito on the 1992 film “Hoffa,” revealed to Radar Online that DeVito did more than just flirt; he reportedly cheated with one of the extras. “It was kind of pathetic because she was very young and beautiful and obviously just having sex with him in hopes that he’d make her a star,” the source claimed.
DeVito declined to comment on claims made by an anonymous source. Perlman, for her part, has suggested there was no one cause for their split. “There were a lot of reasons that we separated, which I’m not gonna go into,” Perlman said on Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ “Wiser Than Me” podcast in 2023.
