David Letterman, 62, the famous American television host and comedian, last week on his Late Show with David Letterman had revealed that he had had sex with more than one of his female employees without naming the women or indicating how many there had been. And he went public with an alleged $2 million extortion plot that he was supposedly threatened with.
Realized that he hurt badly the woman who has been with him for 23 years of marriage, Regina Lasko, the king of late show admits that she has been “horribly hurt” by his actions, and he now has to try to fix his relationship with his wife, who has given him a five years old son named Harry Joseph.
“Either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me,” he told the audience. “I mean, I’ll be honest with you folks,” he said. “Right now, I would give anything to be hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I got in the car this morning — and the navigation lady wasn’t speaking to me.”
“There’s a possibility that I’ll be the first talk show host impeached,” he continued. “It’s fall here in New York City, and I spent the whole weekend raking my hate mail. It’s cold, too—chilly outside, chilly inside my house.”
“Last week on the show, I told a little story about being blackmailed. I wasn’t going to talk about it anymore, but seems like people want to talk about it,” he said as he began his fifteen minutes apology in earnest.
“The staff here has been wonderfully supportive to me, not just through this furor, but through all the years that we’ve been on television. … So, again, my thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I’ve gotten myself involved in,” he continued.
“Now the other thing is my wife, Regina. She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it.”
Is that a sincere apology? According to Larry Lefkowitz of Broooklyn Heights, New York, who attended to typing it’s a sincere apology.
“You could tell he’d been though a difficult situation and that he was sorry that he hurt other people, but he was also able to keep it funny, throw humor into it, too,” Lefkowitz said.
According to the AP, he does not believe talk show hosts should be held to the same moral standard as politicians.
What he did is wrong, and unfaithful, and untrusted, not only to his family but to co-workers also. He had realized and felt sorry about it. You can see there’s nothing good about affairs, not today or tomorrow, the temporary sexual pleasure brings nothing but heartaches and troubles.
