Patrick Swayze's Wife Says His Fans Thought She Was ‘Evil’ For Marrying Again After His Death
HuffPost
"I got a lot of flack," Lisa Niemi Swayze said of remarrying after the actor died from pancreatic cancer.
Patrick Swayze’s former wife says the late actor’s fans slammed her for finding love again after the “Dirty Dancing” star’s death in 2009.
On Sunday’s episode of the “Amy and T.J. Podcast,” Lisa Niemi Swayze, 67, reflected on catching “a lot of flack” for getting remarried to Albert DePrisco in 2014, after Patrick died from pancreatic cancer at 57.
“Yes, I got a lot of flack — it’s like, ‘How dare you.’ There are some pretty rabid Patrick fans out there who think I’m evil, just don’t like me because I was married to him,” Niemi Swayze said, of Patrick’s fans’ reactions to her moving on.
“So there was a lot of flack that came on that, a lot of criticism, and you just learn to deal with it and move on. But it’s like — I was so tempted so many times to say, ’Hey, girlfriend, stand in my shoes, tell me about it. Go ahead — tell me just because I lost my husband that I don’t love him anymore.”
“How could you say that?′ she added. “Ridiculous.”
