It's All Over But The Name Calling

Posted

It's been in the news for just a mere week -- at least that is how long I've realized or noticed it was there. After a day of reading articles pertaining to this, I grew tired of it. After three days of simply reading the headlines, it has reached saturation levels in my system. After a week, it stirs up my insides and makes me want to vomit. It's time for it to go.

I've grown tired of reading and hearing about Christie Brinkley's divorce hearing. No one needs to know the things that are coming out in court. No one really wants or needs to know that her soon-to-be husband is a pig. Let's face it, most people are pigs. Some of us keep it well hidden and some do not. I don't give a flying fart how many thousands of dollars he spent on internet porn. Who cares?!

Divorce hearings should be private. They should not become a circus and the divorcing parties should not turn into performing clowns. I don't care if John cheated on his wife with a 19 year old girl. I don't care if Mary had a fixation with taking off her clothes and rubbing against fire hydrants. I don't give a crap if Matt has an addiction to 80 year old nude male dancers, and I sure as hell don't care if Sue is the neighborhood gang bang girl. These things should remain just a part of their own little world when it comes to going through a divorce.

It seems that Ms. Brinkley is rather enjoying the extra attention she is getting right now. Does anyone even give a crap about her anymore? She belongs back in the 80s, quite frankly. But that is neither here nor there. It is not my main gripe about the divorce coverage.

Both parties (Ms. Brinkley and Mr. Brinkley) should have fought tooth and nail to have their divorce proceedings made private. They should have tried to avoid having all of this information leaked to the press. It's sickening how much of their dirty laundry is being aired. What is even more sickening is that Ms. Brinkley is being made out to be innocent in everything. It takes two to make a marriage and it takes two to break one. It's a shame that she cannot seem to accept any responsibility for what is/has happened.

What is an even bigger shame is that all of these details will be forever documented, and I feel for her children. They will be swimming in all of these dirty details. There was no need for all of this to be made available to my eye, yours or theirs, especially theirs. If it was something Ms. Brinkley and her spouse wanted to tell their children later on, it would've been a much better course of action.

I used to admire Ms. Brinkley on a small level. She climbed the ladder and made something of herself. It's a shame that what she's made of herself now is a far cry from what she used to be.

But hey, at least she is getting press coverage, right? That is what it is all about, isn't it ?
