The Troubled Life Of Randy Quaid's Second Wife Evi Quaid

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

In September 2009, Randy and Evi Quaid were arrested for allegedly failing to pay a $10,000 bill at a California hotel, The Associated Press reported. It wouldn't be the first time a Hollywood couple got in trouble with the law. But their behavior started to deviate from the norm when they repeatedly failed to appear in court. When they showed up, Evi rocked a credit card on her forehead and Randy a fake sheriff's badge. Evi also brought Randy's Golden Globe, the Santa Barbara Independent reported.

The charges against Randy were dropped, but Evi was sentenced to probation and community service. That was far from the end of it. Exactly a year later, Randy and Evi were arrested again when the owner of their old house accused them of squatting in and vandalizing the guest house, CBS News reported. Here's where the situation gets really complicated. A month later, Evi and Randy fled to Canada, Evi's father's homeland, and applied for asylum, arguing their lives were at risk, ABC News reported.

Evi was granted citizenship in 2011. Randy's request for permanent residency was denied in 2013, but he continued to live in Canada. By 2015, Randy had exhausted his appeal rights and faced deportation proceedings. Before he could be deported, Randy and Evi attempted to cross back into the U.S. by way of Vermont and were arrested on the border, Reuters reported. Randy's extradition to California was dropped in 2015.
