What’s Going On With Stars & Their Marriages?
by Rob Silverstein, Access Executive Producer
I’ve been privileged to cover the coming and goings in Hollywood for 11 years and I still love the action as much today as I did back in 1996 when Access Hollywood debuted and I was the weekend show producer. From Brad and Jen to Brad and Angelina and from Tom and Nicole to Tom and Katie, I thought I had seen it all, but I hadn’t.
What’s going on with stars and their marriages….It’s common to have break ups galore, but things are now way out of control.
Now it’s not if, but it’s when for a high profile couple to call it quits. Most use the lame excuse that they have busy schedules, pressure, yada..yada..yada..and other publicist speak. The reality is, as some of the favorite tabs say, “Stars, they are just like us.” They get divorced and get divorced a lot.
But where stars and non pros differ, is in the publicizing of marital problems. It’s bad enough that the world knows…it gets worse when both parties are just out of control.
Let’s talk Alec and Kim…What gave Alec the right to verbally abuse his daughter like that on a voicemail? What was he thinking? He wasn’t. Neither were the people responsible for allowing it to be aired all over the Internet and then on shows like “Access Hollywood”. Should we have aired it? I’ll address that in a moment. Why Alec would then feel the need to go on “The View” and continue to rip his daughter’s mom was another huge error in judgment.
