If it was just him blowing up his personal life that would be one thing, but he had an affair with a subordinate which is a massive can of worms in the best circumstances and this action is going to cost the friends he started a business with a shit-ton of money. Sure they'll come back from it, but that doesn't negate the damage that's he done and I don't think this would have been as bad if he hadn't made his entire brand 'his wife', but he did so now he has to live with the consequences of fucking that up.

This was financial and emotional strife caused to his family and friends, he absolutely deserve to suffer for that.

They'd been friends before she became an employee, I think that's worth noting.

People so overreact to this shit.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
And that somehow makes the financial and emotional strife okay? Like imagine going up to someone who was cheated on and telling them 'they were your friend for years so it's okay they fucked your husband' like??? In what universe is that going to make the situation better?

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But the point of this secret is that his wife is having this awful incident in her life analyzed over and over in public as if it's an important political news story or something by people who don't even know her. SHE doesn't deserve that. Do you think she wants thousands of people talking about this all day every day and getting hits and subscribers and money and clout from her suffering without doing jackshit to help her in a way that matters?

This

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, this.

Whether or not he deserves to suffer has nothing to do with whether his WIFE deserves to suffer, which she obviously doesn't, and people making money off of it is disgusting.

+100

She's being victimized twice, once by the cheating and then again by the clout vultures.

I agree, the drama channels are parasitical and always have been (like tabloid papers).

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don`t think they are worse than him, but if I remember right, his wife actually said she wants to deal with it in private.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah obviously...!

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hard agree.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-10 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
He can keep the scarlet letter for his dumbass choices, but I agree that people shouldn't be profiting off of this and invading Ariel's privacy. That's just gross vulture shit.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
This wasn't his first affair, OP.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
So what? It's still none of the business of the rest of the world.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
He kind of made it other people's business, though? He should have kept his canoodling out of the public eye if he didn't want to be seen.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with this secret, including the implied part about this dude's wrongdoing being blown out of proportion.

If the woman he cheated with says she felt coerced, or disputes that it was wholly consensual, then sure, I'll write him off as pure trash. But until there's an accusation that it was something worse than just a very ill-advised affair, the worst I'm going to say about this guy is that he's a selfish dumbass, a bad husband, and a liability as a colleague. But not a monster or a predator or human trash or whatever. Just...kind of sucky.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
The shittiest thing about this is that they were ALREADY caught canoodling by the other woman's fiancee and he warned Ned off.

But apparently that wasn't enough and the two of them KEPT HOOKING UP UNTIL THEY GOT CAUGHT AGAIN.

So they ARE trash as far as I'm concerned.

Subordinates can’t always safely say if they felt pressured. That they’re subordinate means there automatically is pressure. It’s why what he did is a firing offence for any and every even halfway decent company. And it’s the kind of thing that in most career fields will end you. It isn’t the extramarital part, it’s the fucking someone who risks losing their job if they refuse you.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, to be completely fair, it's as much speculation that his wife is offended by/re-victimized by/hating all the shit-talking. For all we know she's drinking it up. I know I would if my husband-- who, if we'll remember, based his entire career around how much he ~loved me~-- got caught cheating on me. To the wolves with ya!

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Have you ever been cheated on? I feel like you're way off base on the psychology of this.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
AYRT

I actually have! It fucking sucked, lol. It didn't get nearly as public, but I was definitely scorned enough in the aftermath that when it got out to our circle of friends and they absolutely raked him across the coals, it felt great. I can only imagine I would have been gleeful had it spread out beyond and total strangers were ripping his head off over it, lol.

But then, I am admittedly a bit petty. I'm not saying for sure she is too, maybe she's mortified, but my point was that we can't have any way of knowing, and my theory's as good as yours.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I might feel this way. Oh yes, everyone talk about how *awful* and *faithless* my husband is while I remain so *moral* and *refined* and *above it all*. That's the fucking dream! Everyone knows I was wronged and the offender is roundly pilloried and I am not blamed in any way!

Idk, I'm super petty and I have no reason to think this lady is too. But I side eye any attempt to speak for her.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-11 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, he's a guy who made money off his "I love my wife" public persona, so any shit directed at him in public is entirely earned. If people are following his wife around and asking for her input, that's not okay (not that I've seen it, but I'm not that deep in the fandom).
