What started this fresh assault on my delicate sensibility, you ask? Jesse James, the philandering, soon-to-be-ex-husband of Sandra Bullock. In an interview (why would anyone interview him?) on Nightline earlier this week, he "broke down in tears", stating that his self-destructive behavior of late was the result of abuse he suffered as a child.
Wow. There is so much wrong with the above sentence. First of all, broke down in tears? How about mortified that he freaking got caught? That is more likely the emotion he was feeling at the time. Tears do very, very little for me. I know people who can turn the faucet on and off at will, so tears do not do anything, in my opinion, except delay the consequence. If anything, I am more incensed that the "victim" would try tear-theatrics to get out of the situation.
Secondly, his self-destructive behavior "of late"? I find it extremely hard to believe that this is the first time Jesse has stepped out on his current lady, much less Sandra. I'm sure he is a serial-cheater. Heads up, ladies: Once a cheater, always a cheater.
What pushes me right over the edge is the third item: The offender trying to wear the veil of victim. He has acted this way because he was abused as a child. Poppycock. Oprah was abused as a child, and she has been in a stable relationship for years. Beth Moore was abused as a child, and she is a leading preacher/teacher of God's word, as well as a devoted wife and mother.
Jesse James saw a hot, tattooed-up piece of tail that he wanted, and he went after it. Plain and simple. He is an egotistical, self-centered, self-seeking, smug, arrogant ass who refuses to be denied his pleasures and desires. That's what it boils down to. When you marry, you pretty much have to stop your dating behavior outside the marriage. He didn't. He got caught. He cried. He blamed daddy.
What an ass.
