Bill also told PEOPLE how the condition has affected his family.

The alleged Charity Nye's parents reportedly held a wedding ceremony in California on 3 February 2006. It was officiated by superstar Pastor Rick Warren.

However, the State of California subsequently ruled the ceremony legally invalid. Bill Nye stated in an interview with Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kauffman:

"We were never married. We got a letter from the State of California, with the great seal affixed, that we were never married. So shortly afterwards we both agreed it was not a good idea."

The relationship deteriorated publicly. In 2007, Bill sought a protective order against Blair Tindall, alleging she had taken items from his home. He claimed she used his laptop to send defamatory emails impersonating him.

Bill also alleged Blair had damaged his rose bushes with herbicide. Blair acknowledged the incident, explaining:

"I became very angry, and could only think of destroying the rose garden, so he couldn't give another woman the roses which I had cared for... I meant to hurt his flowers only, not him."
