Sins of the Husband

  I'd bet money that Brett Kavanaugh's wife is wishing her hubby had said no when asked to be the supreme court nominee. Whether he is guilty or innocent is no longer relevant for those around him. She is embarrassed. Her kids are too. While she will defend him to the ends of the earth publically, I would think she no longer thinks of this whole process as a career boost.

  Maybe she can hang out with Julie Chen.....excuse me Moonves now. After all this is over they can have coffee laced with whiskey and commiserate on how they paid for accusations against their husbands. It's looking as if Mrs. Moonves will be leaving her day job as a talk show host because of her Mr.'s deeds. A show she has anchored since it's inception.

  So why are these women paying a steep price because of their husbands? Why can't Julie Chen go back to The Talk and do just that...talk. Would she be any less relatable because of this? Or is what Joy Behar said really the hard truth...what can she ever talk about without it coming back to her husband's allegations?  Ashley Kavanaugh has had a great career as well. Does she just abandon any hopes of advancement in the future because of this?

  The short answer is public figures sins are paid for by their families as well as themselves. Period. And when it comes to allegations of sexual abuse today everyone pays and quickly. Both of these women will be asked why they stayed and how they can ever explain to their daughters the whole situation. It's not fair, their marriages are their own private business. But Hilary Clinton has paid for standing beside her husband for years. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

  But these two innocent women aren't the only ones paying big prices. So are the accusers. Never wonder why some women wait years before speaking out on abuse. They are dragged through the mud and their entire lives are opened up to scrutiny. Who can blame them for wanting to keep their trauma private when they know exactly what is going to happen to them. Assaulted again.

  It's time for men to understand this behavior isn't acceptable, whether you are in the entertainment business or the bar business. Women need to be heard and believed not shamed and ridiculed. And the spouses of these men should be left alone to deal with their marital issues in private.

  Kavanaugh and Moonves are in the news and having their lives gone through with a fine-toothed comb. So are there victims. Which begs the question....why hasn't anything been done when Trump has not one, not two, not three accusers but 17???
