Elisabeth Moss Calls Marriage To Fred Armisen Extremely Traumatic

Elisabeth Moss and Fred Armisen filed for divorce in 2024 after only one year of marriage, but the Mad Men star is still reflecting on the couple’s relationship.

"Looking back, I feel like I was a really young, and at the time I didn’t think that I was that young," Moss explains in the March 10 issue of New York magazine. "It was Extremely Traumatic and awful and horrible."

She continues, "At the same time, it turned out for the best. I’m glad that I’m not there. I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50. I’m glad I didn’t have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that’s probably not going to happen again."

(The interview also points out that "Armisen has since described himself as a ‘terrible *husband’ on Howard Stern, a classification to which Moss nods in agreement.")

After news of the couple’s split made headlines, Moss, 31, says that becoming tabloid fodder was an interesting experience for her.

"I always knew that the stuff that you read is not true, but when I was in the situation and you really, actually read things that you apparently said or did that are 100 percent made up … It’s just the strange, simple thing of, that’s your heart they’re talking about, and it just … it sucks."

But she admits that she understands America’s fascination with fame: "I enjoy a little gossip. I like looking at photos of celebrities going to Starbucks."

Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Sr. ‘on the edge of death’

No one’s going to protest against this guy’s death.

Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Sr. has been admitted to a hospice facility and is “on the edge of death,” his estranged son revealed.

The 84-year-old preacher established the small Kansas Church in 1955 and made it a household **** by picketing funerals, public events and businesses with hateful signs attacking gay people, Jews and others.

“I’ve learned that my father, Fred Phelps Sr., pastor of the ‘God Hates F–s’ Westboro Baptist Church … is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice in Topeka, Kansas,” son Nathan Phelps wrote on Facebook.

Steve Drain, a Westboro spokesman, confirmed Sunday that Phelps is in ill health.

“I can tell you that Fred Phelps is having some health problems,” Drain said. “He’s an old man and old people get health problems.”

In his Facebook post, Nathan Phelps, who left the Church 37 years ago, said Westboro excommunicated his father in August.

Drain declined to comment on whether Phelps has been voted out of the Church he established.

“I’m not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made,” Nathan Phelps wrote in the post, which had been shared more than 1,000 times as of Sunday night.

“I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved.”

Westboro members frequently protest at the funerals of American soldiers with signs bearing messages like “Thank God for dead soldiers” and “Thank God for 9/11,” claiming the deaths are divine punishment for the country’s tolerance of homosexuality.

They first attracted widespread attention by picketing the 1998 funeral of Matthew Shepard, a Wyoming college student tortured and killed in an anti-gay attack.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights nonprofit organization, has described Westboro as a hate group, and some people reacted to Nathan Phelps’ Facebook post with glee.

“Thank God he is almost dead!!! Party time!” user Victor Purchase wrote below the post.

Others preached goodwill.

“I may not have supported his lifestyle. In fact, I stand for everything his Church is against. But that doesn’t give me the right to be happy about someone dying,” wrote Corey Bartley.

The church’s sick activities inspired a federal law limiting protests at funerals for soldiers along with numerous state restrictions on picketing at funeral sites.

Just Wednesday, a federal judge upheld a Missouri law requiring protestors to stay at least 300 feet away from funeral sites.

But Westboro won a First Amendment victory in 2024 when the U.S. Supreme Court said Church members couldn’t be sued for money damages for inflicting pain on grieving families.

Hell will welcome him with open arms.

Fred Phelps on death bed

Quote:
Fred Phelps, the 84-year-old driving force behind the Westboro Baptist Church, is reportedly in hospice care and "on the edge of death" in Kansas, his estranged son says in a Facebook post. Nate Phelps also claims that the elder Phelps was ex-communicated by his own church last year. "Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way," wrote the younger Phelps, who left the church in 1980. "Destroyed by the monster he made."

NEWSER: Another jet mysteriously disappeared in 2024

A second estranged son, Mark, tells the Topeka Capital-Journal that the news "is accurate."

A Westboro spokesman confirms that the elder Phelps is in hospice care with "a couple things going on," but that "the source that says he’s near death is not well informed."

Anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church is known for protesting high-profile funerals.

Continues Nate Phelps’ post: "I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes."

CBS notes that just last week, a Missouri court ruled that Westboro protesters must stay at least a football field away from funerals.

The Miserable End Of The Miserable Fred Phelps

From the Facebook page of Nathan Phelps, who left the family business decades ago, and is now an atheist:

I’ve learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the “God Hates Fags” Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the “church” back in August of 2024. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made.

I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes.

And so it ends. Can you imagine having come to the end of your life, very nearly to the moment in which you will meet your God and be reckoned with, and all you have to show for it is … that? I’ve always thought the Westboro Baptist Church people were despicable, but there is something about the thought of that old man lying on his death bed, forsaken, the victim of his own sins, that makes me pity him. One tear of repentance from the vicious old preacher will open the floodgates of the divine mercy he spent his life trying to deny to others. I pray for that tear.

And I hope no one pickets his funeral, giving to his family the mercy they do not deserve.
