David Foster as a Husband

According to Foster’s ex-wife Thomson, Foster was not a good husband. He was over protective, conserved, controlling and possessive husband. He wanted his wife to stay at home and do household activities. Maybe that’s why Yolanda always stayed at home during her marriage.

Linda wrote in her book about her ex-husband: “At times, he had an expectation that I was there to serve and take care of him, to make beds and do housework. At that time he didn’t believe that women should have careers. He found ambition in a woman to be unattractive,” She even said that Foster made her stop auditioning for roles, as he said: “I don’t want you being an actress because you might have to kiss somebody, and if you do, it’s not going to work for me.”
