Like every cheater, Hulk honestly thought he was so special that he could
get away with having both a married life *and* a single life.

Now that reality has kicked in and, like every cheater, he's finding out
that NOBODY can have both because it just never works, he's mad and throwing
a tantrum because he got busted.

Just like O.J.

Just like every cheater who gets caught.

Just like every cheater when the inevitable consequences kick in, as they
always do.

It's too bad our culture makes a practice of looking the other way and
blaming the victim (the betrayed spouse) whenever some married person is
cheating. Maybe some of this sh*t would stop if everybody would stop
looking the other way BEFORE the wreckage is all over the road.

Oh, and be sure to keep an eye on Mel Gibson, too. His wife of 25+ years and the mother of his half-dozen or so children finally had enough of his cheating and has filed for D. Since it's in California, that means she will almost certainly end up with half of Mel's nearly 1 *billion* fortune.

I'm sure he'll be whining and complaining about not having both groupies and a family, too, and how it's all his wife's fault.

So let me see if I understand, her cheating is OK because he cheated?

Did he really cheat, or is she just justifying her affair and trying to make him look bad.

I saw her attorney say she has called the police on him before.

Notice, he never said Hulk was charged or convicted, just that she had called the cops on him before.

I doubt he's an angel. Yet there is truth in what he said. He totally gets the rage that someone betrayed might feel.

And for being emotionally honest, he's grilled.

And folks wonder why men don't share their emotions.

She's in an affair with the 19 year old pool boy, can't trust a word that comes out of her or her attorney's mouth right now.

I thought it quite hypocritical coming from the man who directed "The Passion". Obviously he doesn't believe in Christ's design of marriage.

Apparently, Mel has been "secretly" separated since 2006

Quote
Although the pair have only just gone public with their separation, it has been reported Robyn left Mel in 2006 - when he was arrested for drunk-driving – but decided not to make the split official for the sake of their family.

So is he the typical WS, or just bad behavior after being abandoned by his wife?

I'm not saying he's right or justified. But if she left him three years ago, does that matter?

I try not to read anything that is in the papers regarding celebrities and adultery because none of us know what the REAL TRUTH is except the people involved.

I sometimes think it is done specifically for PUBLICITY!!

Although i will say that to this day i will absolutely positively not watch ANYTHING that stars Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.

It seems Gibson was faithful for 29 years, and over two years after his wife abandons him, he's seen with other women.

Not saying it's right. I'm just saying if you leave your partner for 2+ years, something bad will happen.

Why is he the one being vilified if it's true she abandoned him in the late summer/early fall of 2006?

These are lessons for all of us - it doesn't matter how rich or how pretty how powerful or not - we are all susceptible to our marriages/relationships being tainted/ruined by an affair.

I tell myself that Hailey Barry the year she was voted the Most Beautiful Woman found out her husband was cheating on her - how sick is that???

True or not - what ever is in the papers or gossip mags bottom line this is a subject that is very painful and very real...that's why they keep reporting it...

It's not like Mel Gibson is a paragon of virtue, anyway.

You know, I used to think Angelina Jolie was so beautiful. Now, she just looks old, used, and spent to me. She has no appeal whatsoever. She's not a sex symbol, she is just gross.
However, to me, Jennifer Aniston looks better and better. She's older than AJ but looks so much prettier, healthier, and happier.

I used to love Marilyn Monroe when I was younger, too. Until I fully realized what she did and the ramifications of it. I find her very sad now.

I have to agree about Angelina Jolie. She looks awful. Old, ugly, to skinny, and even when I see pictures of her at award shows all dressed up, she just looks like nothing. And I used to think she was so sexy...

I don't think its because of my attitude of her involvement with a married man.

It just goes to show how when some OW are single and looking, they project the sex appeal to get a man..but life happens and marriage and kids take a toll. The fantasy world cannot be kept up.

On the bright side -- read yesterday that David Duchovey and his wife Tea are back together.

Remember he was the actor (Ex-X Files) who admitted to being a sex addict and sought treatment? Theory was that he was a serial cheater and that she had had enough. They filed for divorce in October -- I think -- and now they are back together. They are now sporting matching tattoo rings.

Go figure!

Tea Leoni played a sex addict in an episodeof Frasier. It was an episode in which Sam Malone, the sex addict from Cheers paid Frasier a visit.

Sam was about to get married. He met his fiancee at a SA meeting. When they visited Frasier, his fiancee slept with him and Sam called off the wedding - not because of Frasier but because she had once slept with Cliff Claven (sp).

I'm sure that's relevant to something but I'm not sure what.

Not surprised Hulk Hogan is a cheater. He has a big personality and ego so the entitlement mentality would be there. Half naked woman parading around the ring, flexing his muscles...

His OJ comments were stupid considering Nicole wasn't married to OJ so there was no cheating. Maybe he thought it would describe his feelings of anger but again...not the smartest reference. His whole family seems screwed up. Remember his son paralyzed his friend because the idiot thought he was Speed Racer.

As for Mel Gibson, he's been accused of cheating numerous times over the years. I think there are some stories where he has admitted to his 'bad behavior' and thanked his wife for putting up with him. With the women and alcohol...I'd have been sick of his crap a long time ago.

His ding dong mistress is saying that she's not his mistress...

Hulk is somewhat like O.J. in that they see what they want to see I think most of America has spoken on what they think O.J. got away with and what Hogan's son got away with (his friend is brain dead and Hogan is caught on tape saying that the friend had it coming)

On JVM some pointed out how he said MY wife MY house and MY suv, apparently he thinks he owns all this even though he is going through a divorce and the judge has awarded those things to his stbxw, all this while he is hanging with his young girlfriend who looks like his daughter.

Plus the fact that the divorce happened because she found out that he was having an affair with his daughter friend at the time.
