His wife, Abby Abadi, turned up at the location yesterday to get him to sign papers pertaining to her divorce petition.
Abby, whose real name is Arbaeyah Abdul Manan, was accompanied by about 20 reporters to the location in front of Wangsa Maju Carrefour about noon.
They had followed her from the Gombak Timur Syariah Court, where she had tried to file a divorce application.
Norman started crying when his wife of six years handed him the documents and ushered her away to discuss the matter privately.
Irreconciliable: Abby talking with Norman near the film location in Wangsa Maju yesterday.About 45 minutes later, they spoke to reporters.
Norman was detained early last Thursday by Selangor religious department officers at his office in Ukay Perdana, Ampang, for khalwat (close proximity) with a new artiste, Memey Suhaiza.
When asked whether he would cooperate with Abby, Norman said he was willing to do so provided Memey was also given a fair hearing.
This prompted an outburst from Abby, who accused him of not caring for her feelings.
Norman then tried to pacify her, saying that private matters should not be discussed in public, but this prompted another outburst from Abby.
She accused him of lying, effectively cutting short the press conference when Norman walked off muttering that he had nothing else to say about the issue.
He had earlier told reporters he needed time to think things over and hoped to salvage the marriage.
He added that he had not gone home since the incident to prevent quarrels between them as Abby would get riled up whenever he mentioned Memey’s name and accuse him of defending her.
Norman became evasive when asked about the nature of his relationship with Memey, saying: “I have to consider the feelings of others and Abby is still my wife.”
Rumours that their marriage was on the rocks started circulating a few months ago and local entertainment magazines had speculated that Memey was the cause.(TheStar)
