Melissa Lee Gatlin is the ex-spouse of Billy Bob Thornton. She is famously recognized as being the ex-wife of Billy, a famous filmmaker, actor, and musician.

What was the reason behind Melissa's divorce?

Melissa was the first spouse of Billy. The former pair tied the wedding knot back in 1978

Nevertheless, the individuals were in the relationship before turning their relationship official. 

Sadly, just after two years of togetherness, they parted their ways. Melissa had confronted the reason as incompatibility and adultery on Billy's part for their split up.

One daughter from her married life with Billy

Together, Melissa and Billy were the parents of a daughter named Amanda Brumfield

However, their daughter was sent to prison for the murder case of her best friend's one-year-old daughter. 

Nevertheless, the lady said she didn't imagine being behind bars. Before being sent to prison, she believed in the system. 

However, as of now, Amanda had lost most of her faith in the justice system. It all happened after seeing her case being handled. 

Amanda says that she had fought this journey for so long. 

Further adding that they are fast enough to put you in prison but to let you out, it is much slower; Amanda speaks in a Facebook Live discussion with the Innocence Project of Florida after her release for the first time. 

She also says she has been a victim of a system. The lady kept on saying that the baby was dead trying to climb out of her playpen at her house in Ocoee

The little baby got injured in the head, which led to her death. Amanda poured her heart out that the prosecutors judged the situation based on Junk science, which is false. 

Lastly, she confronted that she missed important events and graduations in her life.
