Lisa Curry reveals the real reason her marriage ended

They were one of Australia's golden couples so when Lisa Curry and Grant Kenny announced their split in 2009 after 23-years of marriage it came as a shock to many.

Lisa and Grant, 50, were married in 1986 and have three children together, Jaimi, 26, Jett, 19, and Morgan, 23.

Speaking with A Current Affair, the 52-year-old former swimmer revealed that she was misdiagnosed with a medical condition that affected her behaviour and ultimately drove her marriage to divorce.

"I was just being an absolute b***h, a cow, angry and irritable for no reason," she said in the interview.

Doctors initially diagnosed her with depression and prescribed her anti-depressants.

Looking for an alternative to the anti-depressant drugs, Lisa sought advice from Dr Libby Weaver, a nutritional biochemist who went on to diagnose her with Rushing Women's Syndrome.

The syndrome is described as the biochemical and emotional effects of constantly being in a rush and the health consequences associated with it.

The condition affects both men and women who suffer from hormone imbalance which can lead to stress, depression and infertility.

"The Rushing Woman Syndrome is absolutely me. It’s been me for a long time,” she said.

“I didn’t want to seem like I was the only cow on earth, but it always felt like that to me.

“I had days where I just felt completely out of control.

“I was angry, irritable, moody, cried for no reason, and wanted to kill the world.”

Lisa, who now takes herbs and hormone supplements to control the condition, publicly apologised to men around Australia for both hers and other women’s behaviour who may suffer from the syndrome.

“On behalf of me and all women in Australia, I want to say sorry to all the guys, cause they cop it, the men cop it, it’s the men that are closest in your life, and ...they don’t even have to do anything, yet they cant do anything right or wrong...in our eyes they’re the worst person in the world,” she said.

“Sorry guys, but I’m glad there’s a name for it now and I’m glad we’ve got a solution.”

Lisa, now in a relationship with 31-year-old Joel Walkenhorst, has remained friends with her ex, who has also moved on.

Grant is believed to be the father of Fifi Box's daughter Beatrix, although neither have ever officially confirmed or denied the story.
