Why Did Thandiwe Newton And Ol Parker Break Up?

The reason behind Actress Thandie Newton’s split from English Producer, Ol Parker, is not yet disclosed.

Newton married Ol Parker in 1998. They have three children: daughters Ripley (b. 2000) and Nico (b. 2004), and son Booker Jombe (b. 2014).

All three were home births. She is vegan and was named PETA’s “Sexiest Vegan of 2014” in the UK.

In 2006, Newton contributed a foreword to We Wish: Hopes and Dreams of Cornwall’s Children, a book of children’s writing published in aid of the NSPCC.

In it, she wrote about her childhood memories of growing up in Cornwall, and the way in which the county’s cultural heritage made it easy for her to “enrich every situation with layers of magic and meaning”.

In 2007, Newton sold her near-new BMW X5 and replaced it with a Toyota Prius after Greenpeace stuck a “This gas-guzzling 4×4 is causing climate change” sticker on her BMW.

In 2008, Newton visited poverty-stricken Mali, describing it as a “humbling experience”. She visited the village of Nampasso in the Ségou Region of the country.

In 2013, Newton led the One Billion Rising flash mob in London, for an end to violence, and for justice and gender equality.

In 2016, Newton stated she had been the victim of a director who repeatedly showed his friends a video of her in a sexually graphic audition which she made as a teenager.

Newton cited this experience as being a part of why she had taken the Westworld role, which involved substantial nudity, as it mirrored the experiences of survivors of sexual abuse while also asking moral questions about the meaning of humanity and what it means to be humane.

In 2018, Newton said she was disappointed not to have been invited to participate in Time’s Up, a movement against sexual harassment, considering that she had experienced being “ostracised” for speaking out about alleged sexual abuse by a director.
