This is what happens w/some celebrities, though, and especially sports figures. They're sheltered and pandered to by their handlers, given anything their treacherous little hearts desire and then when it all flies back to smack them in the face, they cry "addiction" or "victim". I'm all for privacy for everyone, celebrities, too, but when they behave in such an atrocious manner as TW did, not caring a whit whether or not he might be found out b/c his "peeps" will take care of it and clean up any mess, then I don't feel sorry for them. Worse yet, after all this has blown over, then we'll have the book and TV appearances to look forward to that chronicle his "misfortune" due to his "addiction". Ugh.

I'm no expert but I can tell ya that I'm sick of hearing the word "addiction" bandied about. I think he just has no self control, is like a kid in a candy store, he wants it all and by God he's going to have it b/c he's TW! The women that he cheated with all fit into the Madonna/whore complex. His wife is pretty, very pure looking, the one who bears his children. The women are the whores, and I'm not calling them names or casting aspersions on their reputations, just saying that they fill a niche that he perhaps feels his wife cannot. Perhaps a few of them thought that he actually cared about them and would leave his wife for them. I can't imagine why they would believe that but con men are good at what they do. Look at how well he had most of the world fooled.
