Fears For Matt

The Star Is Forced to Quit Over Domestic Abuse Claims.

 

Just when it seemed he was finally leaving his troubled past behind him, Matthew Newton’s world has again come crashing down around him.

The embattled writer, actor and director was pictured looking very drawn and thin while immersed in a tense phone conversation in NYC. Nearby, his rumoured wife, Catherine Schneiderman, 25, stood nervously scrolling through her phone while puffing on a vape.

Last week news emerged that 41-year-old Matt’s big Hollywood break had been quashed after he was forced to pull out of directing the upcoming US blockbuster Eve, starring Jessica Chastain, amid an online backlash over his history of alleged domestic abuse.

And now, friends of the fallen star are worried that this latest setback could tip an already fragile Matt over the edge.
