Dr. Seuss Cheated On His Wife When She was Ill, So She Ended up Killing Herself
Countless numbers of people have grown up reading Dr. Seuss books, and they are still staples in children’s libraries to this day. There is even a holiday called National Read Across America Day in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. But it turns out that he had a problematic past. Namely the fact that he cheated on his first wife Helen.
For more than a decade, Helen was partially paralyzed due to Guillain-Barré syndrome. When she found out about his affair, she killed herself. He married his mistress, Audrey, who divorced her first husband to be with him. In 2021, it was announced that six of his books are no longer going to be published, due to racist undertones.
