His poor wife and kids.
I have no sympathy for him if he’s done these things; you knowingly enter into such activities behind your wife’s back, you knowingly put yourself at risk of consequence, being caught. ESPECIALLY if you are a known face, there’s always going to be someone potentially blackmailing you too. It’s incredibly stupid. He may well have historical depression (allegedly), but that does not green light this sort of behaviour. Sorry, but these high up paid TV people get so complacent and seem to seek some kind of secret power thrill.
If he was genuinely looking to connect with someone else (behind his wife’s back) I could almost understand if he was messaging other people his own age. But why is is often young teen/early 20s men that these TV people go for, young enough to be their grandchild? It’s some weird power thing, surely?
