Due To Self-Defense, Mercy Or Rage, Here Are 10 Times Women Brutally Slayed Famous Men

4. Felix Pappalardi

As her husband Felix Pappalardi lay in bed with a gunshot wound, Gail Collins made an urgent call. But it wasn’t a 911 call. She had instead phoned her lawyer, who then advised her to seek medical help for her husband. Shortly after, cops found Felix lying in bed, wearing only his underwear, with a gunshot wound on April 17, 1983. The news left the rock world shaken . Investigators found that his wife Gail had shot him using the same .38 Derringer that her husband gifted her a few months before. Felix and Gail wrote songs together and had an open marriage, with guests often sharing their bedroom with them. However, it is believed jealousy creeped into their marriage when Felix began sleeping with aspiring singer Valerie Merians. Gail called her husband’s family, tearfully telling them about their marriage troubles, about four months before cops charged her with the slaying of her husband. “She called her attorney instead of calling for help,” Judge James Leff said in court. “She was concerned with her own well-being.” Felix’s ex-bandmate Leslie West once called Gail a “witch” during an interview. “Buy your wife a diamond ring, some flowers, a pushup bra,” he advised fellow rockstars. “Don’t buy her a gun.”
