Carol Brady

[monkeyboy]

and the former mayor of NYC

What with all these politician scandals (and this one is OLD)

I went looking because of this thread so I saw the story and let's just say I wish that was all she revealed about it TMI! TMI!

Here's the story if anyone is interested:

Why on earth Florence Henderson feels the need to release this particular story at this particular point in time is what has me shaking my head. Is she really THAT desperate to keep her name in the papers? And is this the best she could do??

I'm thinking her publisher decided to release that little tidbit to stir up interest in her book. She didn't just come out and report it. It's in her book.

Ok, if the term TMI hadn't been invented yet, it would be now.

Still, of all the things one might choose to reveal about her past (in her book or to the press), why on earth include THAT one??? It's not like NOW I'll run out and pick up the book.

If anything, I now know that I wouldn't go near her book if you paid me.

I agree. It's pathetic. Once these people get a taste of fame and then lose it, they become absolutely desperate to get it back. She realizes that with every passing year, her relevance as a celebrity diminishes, so she's taking the "shock" route in a sad attempt to recapture it.

I'm not sure I can watch the Brady Bunch again. And we just had a big thread about our memories of the Brady Bunch. I'm not really judging her....I just know whenever I think about Mrs Brady or Wesson Oil, I'll be thinking about that.

That was something I really did not need to know. I wonder how the kids of celebrities feel when their parents write this kind of stuff in their books. I really wouldn't want to hear these kinds of stories about my parents and I wouldn't write about my own less-than-wholesome experiences in a book because I know it would embarass my kids. (I personally wouldn't have much to write, but if I did, I still wouldn't do it.)

Although admittedly it's TMI ... I think it's kinda funny. Celebrities/politicians are a strange breed. Just the same as you never know what's going on in the house next door, you never know what's going on with them! It's just that it makes the news someday! Now, next door ... let's hope whatever happens there stays there! LOL!

 

[happygirl]

I don't see the big deal, she was writing a book about her life the good and the bad, I think it teaches a good moral, you jump into bed you can get disease.

 

[GeorgeG]

That's something I would expect to see at the grocery check-out in something like the National Enquirer.

 

[OceanAnnie]

Ew. Ew. Ew.

Some things are better left unsaid.

 

[mickeysgal]

Anything for a buck.

 

[Rora]

Didn't need to know that, Carol.

Ew.

Personally after that story I have lost whatever respect I once had for her. I believe bedroom stories should remain in the bedroom but more importantly I don't believe you should trash a mans name more than a decade after his death, especially just to sell a book. The man has no recourse or ability to defend himself and will now be know for this forever. IMO it's tacky and classless.

Although any of us may go at anytime Florence herself is 77 years old way past her prime and honestly closer to the grave than most. Does she really wanna be remembered for having an affair and getting crabs from a politician as her possibly last story? Personally I'd get a new publicist.

 

[dislaney]

Yuck, not exactly how I would want to be remembered.

 

[nmmom95]

Oh, man. Ew. Didn't she have an affair with Greg, as well?

 

[Aisling]

I wonder if John Lindsey was mayor during this one-night-stand with a married woman.
