Hmmm..........interesting bit of gossip

shadowkatWell, uhm, there are times that I'm not crazy about the internet or a society that provides a bit too much information.
For example? I could live without knowing the inner personal lives of television actors and writers. And I'm not quite sure what to make of Kai Cole's blog post about her marriage to Joss Whedon and subsequent break-up. Goes to show you, it's apparently really hard to stay married in Hollywood or faithful.
Whedon is in his fifties. According to the post, he allegedly had an affair with many of the actresses on the set of Buffy and various other series during his marriage. (I wondering right about now if that would explain his relationship with Eliza Dusku?) I already know that Boreanze did the same thing. In fact Charisma Carpenter once let it slip that the set was like the love boat, with everyone hooking up with each other. But I didn't realize Whedon had. Whedon had power, so that is sort of...unethical. It's also not surprising, because people in Hollywood have always done that.
[SMG has been smart about this, not said anything about what happened on the set or backstage. David Boreanze has been tightlipped as well. CC and Marsters not so much.]
It does blow the lid off of the happy marriage they appeared to have, and their ideal life.
Also, if true, it puts an interesting...twist on a lot of things...that I've picked up on over the years. But I am skeptical, mainly due to how it came out. It seems odd to just blog about it. I'm thinking this was not a pleasant divorce, and there's a bit of bitterness there?
I honestly don't know. Don't really care. I never worshipped Whedon. I don't worship writers. Nor did I see him as a feminist. And I've been, as you know, highly critical of his work.

Trouble is in places such as Tumblr land they've gone nuts. It's like every Christmas has come at once for the Whedon haters on there and that sadly tarnishes their view of shows such as Buffy.
Whedon like his actors are just people and people are often deeply flawed, just like their audience. Trouble some like to ignore that.

Also what someone does in their personal life doesn't have much bearing on their work, particularly when said work is collaborative in nature and not a solo effort.
