Williams was married for just five months in 1994 to a man named Bert Girigorie. Not much is known about Girigorie since he is also barely a footnote in the media mogul’s autobiography, Wendy’s Got The Heat.
In her biopic, Williams reveals why she refuses to go into detail about her first marriage. “Yeah, I’m skipping over my first husband,” she said. “He was just a rebound after the disaster with Eric B. It was a starter marriage that lasted five months, and frankly, it’s not interesting enough to talk about.”
Williams and Girigorie were officially divorced a year and a half after they first tied the knot.
