However, she felt deeply betrayed by his lack of courage to tell the truth, pointing out that he lied to both his wife and her. Furthermore, she expressed that she used to have immense admiration for Bonnie.
Of the singer herself, Pernot said, “I feel sorry for Bonnie. She didn’t ask for any of this. She’s in the middle. She was nice to me, she treated me as a friend.”

At the time, the couple’s business empire spanned hotels, homes, a farm in New Zealand, and stables in Berkshire, and the pair split their time between an eight-bedroom mansion in the Mumbles, Swansea Bay, and a property in Santa Eulalia in Portugal’s Algarve.
Tyler herself had addressed infidelity in the marriage in interviews before the scandal, admitting that both she and Sullivan had strayed in their younger years.

“I wouldn’t put up with anything like that now and I wouldn’t expect him to but this was the 70s,” she said. “I was travelling without him. He had his own business and we couldn’t travel together. We’ve had ups and downs but if you can get through it all it makes you stronger.”
In another interview, she had described her marriage in far warmer terms, saying, “I am still very much in love with him and he with me. We never fall out. He is very easy on the eye, which helps.”

Neither Tyler nor Sullivan ever responded to repeated requests for comment on Pernot’s claims, and the couple remained married until Tyler’s death this week, leaving fans now piecing together a fuller picture of behind the music.
