Here is my response to all the hubbub going on here in
Nash Vegas (and country-wide also) about
Sara Evans quitting Dancing with the Stars and filing for divorce from
Craig Schelske. Okay, hang on, let me try and climb up on top of my soap box. Ok. Whew! That was hard. Okay, here we go:
First off, you cannot begin to tell me that she JUST found out about all of this within 24 hours. Divorces don't work that way. (At least so I'm told.) There has been researching, snooping, etc finding out all of this. She has already stated that one of her
children found him watching said porn in September. Fine. So we know that this has probably been going on at least since then.
Secondly, she quit
Dancing With The Stars so she could spend more time with her children, yadda yadda yadda. Why would you oh so dramatically quit right in the middle of a HUGE top-10 program with such big and gross accusations and draw EVEN MORE publicity to your family and your personal issues? Why not wait a month or so and then do it? I mean, you are in
Los Angeles anyway filming, and your kids are probably there with you anyway, right? Me thinks something here is askew.
Thirdly, I don't know how many celebrity divorces I have ever heard of where not only can we know exactly what happened, but we can also
read the divorce papers online (it's a pdf). I'm sorry, but if they really wanted to keep it secret, they
COULD HAVE. Think
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Think
Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger. (Ummm, we still don't know what
'fraud' means, do we? - NOPE)
Sara is just talking left and right with the press. Saying
he cheated with their nanny (Which
the nanny and
Craig have denied, of course) Even recently stating that
he moved money from their joint account.
Fourthly,
Dancing with the Stars is playing up this huge interview with her during Tuesday's episode. Does she really need to give a interview to the press, and draw even more attention to herself? Ummm. Does it matter that millions of people will be viewing it? Um, sure.
I will conclude with this:
Sara, I do love you and you music. I do not deny that these things happened. However, if you are seriously worried about the pain, attention, etc that this is causing your family and children, then keep your trap shut! I just think it's very, very strange. And I think she knows exactly what she is doing.
