We had discussed this a bit in DkDM. While Khyatti was married to Bhrigu, she was not the wife that Vishnu killed. Vishnu killed a different wife - Usha - the mother of Shukracharya. That was the actual reason that the latter loathed Vishnu and disdained the Devas.

I referred to my books regarding the story of Bhrigu's curse, and just as I thought the marriage of Lakshmi Narayan and the curse of Bhrigu are not at all related as was shown in SKR. They are both separate incidents and happened in vastly different time periods.

Lakshmi first reincarnated as Bhrigu's daughter Bhargavi through his wife Khyati. He gave Bhargavi in marriage to Vishnu, but when she felt insulted due to an incident involving Lord Indra, she went into the ocean and made her home there. Thus, she became known as the daughter of Samudra Devta also. During the churning of the ocean, Lakshmi appeared as an unmarried girl, and wished to be reunited with her Lord. Samudra Devta conducted a swayamvar for her, inviting all the Gods, and Lakshmi chose Vishnu as her husband. Their marriage happened yet again. From then on, Lakshmi and Vishnu resided in Vaikunta.

Bhrigu's curse was something that happened eons later, during a war between the Gods and asuras. After the Gods defeated the asuras, a few of the surviving asuras sought shelter with Devi Khyati. Bhrigu was not at home then. Khyati agreed to give them shelter and refused the Gods' plea to release them. The Gods went to Lord Vishnu for help and he ordered Khyati to release the Asuras, or suffer death for the sin of aiding and abetting criminals. Khyati chose death over denying shelter to those who came for protection, and Lord Vishnu beheaded her using his Sudarshan chakra. Just then, Sage Bhrigu returned home and was shocked at the sight of his wife's dead body. He cursed Vishnu with separation from his wife, but then Vishnu brought Khyati back to life and said it was all an illusion. The illusion was shown to teach a lesson to humanity that to give shelter to criminals is a grave sin.

However, Bhrigu's curse was not the reason for Sita Haran. It is Narad's curse to Vishnu that became the reason for Sita Haran, and Bhrigu's curse was the reason for Ram and Sita's second separation during Uttar Kand. Sage Vasishta himself cites this incident when Lakshman breaks down about the troubles of Ram and Sita.

For many, Radha is considered the sampoorna avatar of Lakshmi who was separated from Krishna due to the curse of Shridama, and the eight wives of Krishna were partial incarnations of Lakshmi (or Ashta Lakshmi = Ashta Bharya).
