London,
(ANI):
Rolling
Stones
guitarist
Ronnie
Wood
has
claimed
that
he
ended
his
marriage
to
wife
Jo
because
he
was
fed
up
with
being
under
her
thumb.
The
guitarist"s
23-year
marriage
to
the
former
model
collapsed
after
he
had
an
affair
with
Russian
cocktail
waitress
Ekaterina
Ivanova
and
went
on
a
drinking
bender
that
lasted
18
months.
However,
now
Wood,
63,
has
claimed
he
walked
out
on
heartbroken
Jo
in
July
2008
because
he
was
'bored" with
his
family
making
decisions
for
him.
“I
was
getting
under
the
cosh
too
much,"
the
Daily
Mail
quoted
him
as
saying.
“I
was
bored
with
not
being
able
to
make
decisions
for
myself.
Other
people
were
making
decisions
for
me
–
including
my
kids.
I
thought:
'Hang
on.
I"m
not
being
in
charge
of
my
life."
And
that"s
what
I
had
to
be,"
he
said.
At
one
point
Jo"s
son
Jamie
-
Wood"s
stepson
-
was
managing
the
guitarist.
Miss
Wood
would
also
famously
join
him
for
the
duration
of
every
Rolling
Stones
tour
in
a
bid
to
keep
him
on
the
straight
and
narrow
-
even
preparing
him
meals
on
a
two-ring
stove
in
hotel
rooms.
The
star
is
now
dating
Brazilian
artist
Ana
Araujo.
