As for you, the charade of a life you are having pretending that you are married, but not married to your kids and everyone stinks on ice. How big of you to make it easier on yourself by being a pussy when it comes to being real and honest with your kids. There is a lot more damage by keeping a nebulous, deceptive situation going on than just coming out and divorcing. They know some shit is going on and are mind-fucking themselves to figure out your lies and wanting to believe dad vs the truth. How fucking kind of you.

The dance of calling her your wife, because she is, what is that? Kids learn from what you do as well as what you say and they compare notes with the kids at school. They know you as being deceptive. Because, using your words about “wife”, that is what you are. A liar to your kids.

Aurora Snow: Great article and well said, as I always expect from her. I’ve long been a fan. I actually have one of her very first videos, on VHS from an obscure “amateur” video company called Promotions Company. Soon she got into super-hardcore stuff that I wasn’t into, and I lost track of her. Years later, she turned up through her excellent writing and reporting on things like the Stagliano trial. I’m really glad things have gone so well for her. She could have easily been poster child for “innocent girl gets into porn, gets sucked into the extreme stuff, and gets chewed up and spit out” trope. Glad to see things didn’t go that way at all.

I’ve been amicably separated from my wife for well over a year, have children in elementary school and my girlfriend just moved into my house. My wife and I have not officially filed for divorce yet and I still do refer to her as my wife because she still is. As for his son in secondary school I doubt this is much of a surprise to a healthy teenager.

As for the women, there’s is absolutely no evidence that Gawker or anyone else has even asked them their side or that Leo is somehow muzzling them. They’re not public figures and may not care to be.

Is this Leo’s downfall? Doubtful and even more surprising that people on this blog would think so. He separated from his wife and is now in another relationship. That that relationship appears to include sex chats is pretty normal. It’s only his ‘downfall’ if you subscribe the puritanical anti-sex bias of the mainstream media but I was surprised to see that attitude here.

He was not separated from his wife for a year, and the news that he was a free, single man is news to anyone that has been around him in public conferences where he mentioned his “wife” liberally. He was wearing his wedding band on his show into September 2011, so when he says he is a single man, as he did on Twitter this week, that shows what a liar he is. He has not filed for divorce, yet on twitter he calls himself single.

He posted support on his Google+ account in July for the idea that infidelity strengthens marriages. He is still married. If the relationship is all okay and everything, gee, the women can confirm this, but I suspect he is such a controlling douche, he will always have to have control of the message. He strikes me as an abusive jerk.

If all of these relationships are on the up and up, gee, why having we heard what the women in his life have to say instead of him being a control freak about spinning the message? Are they not allowed to speak? I’d have a question to the ladies about whether they signed something to prohibit their comments, though.

Leo was outted in the public. This was not an attempt at “gotcha” when he posted it in his own video. Leo puts himself out there as an adviser on technology and he allowed the technology to to “gotcha” himself. So that makes it a story in itself. Like a lot of jerks, when caught, all he talks about is himself. If he really loves women, and the women were really empowered, they’d speak for themselves and write their own blog entries.

“I’m at the airport flying back from a lovely Christmas with the family in (bandwidth-challenged) western Massachusetts. Unfortunately, my email is overflowing with questions about the sleazebag article published by Gawker a few days ago. I’ve answered as many as I can, but just in case I missed you, here’s the response I’ve been sending out…”

And in answer to the ‘Tango’, article — for goodness sake(!) simply keep your birth-control handy/up-to-date, and enjoy the right person/people :-) And, as the Huffington article says, “be a giver”, “ask and ye shall receive”, and “count your body blessings”.

Wishing you a very happy and relaxed Christmas-time, Violet.

Plus, here’s to a 2012 where all our very best dreams come true.

Like, if it were with a “ho” it would be inexcusable, but it’s okay since she went to college and all and he hired to be his boss (what is that about? how can you hire someone to be your boss? she will go down, pardon the pun, before him. was it a ploy to avoid sexual harassment charges to put her as a “boss” of him?). When someone starts a sentence with “at least,” man, watch out. Lisa Kentzell never worked in media or radio, was a bookkeeper, never in management, then “hand picked” to be CEO of LaPorte’s 8 million dollar media enterprises. More power to the rapid rise, be let’s be honest here about what being “his boss” really means here. She is not his equal in power or experience, nor as old as him, as Annalee sez to make it an “at least” situation. What a woman does for a living doesn’t put her in a higher caste where it’s sort of cool to see a jerk “fooling around.” Want an honest relationship or more than one? Have them. And by definition it takes the fool out of it.

It looks like the wisdom of Ashton K. to come out and defend him at this point. He is still married and has two kids that will hear about this. And he doesn’t seem to be the type to have an open relationship where the women in his life are allowed to have the freedom he takes. After all, that would be a level of honesty that doesn’t exist in his life.

I’m in technology and LaPorte is kind of a douche in the community, truth be told. He fancies himself as the Rush of technology, which I guess if he aimed for being a bloated jerk, he reached it. He presents himself as one of the geeks in technology. He has never worked in technology and was never one of the average geeky guys at work who happened to made good in media as he likes his audience to think. He was a failed radio guy who found a green field in tech reporting. He says he’s a Yale guy in conversation frequently. He dropped out from Yale, never graduated there. He puts it across that he is a devoted family man with a wife to his audience. Not true either. I bet his staff, no pun intended, could explode a few myths with honesty.

There is nothing immoral about what they do in my eyes. People have sex. That is how almost all of us have come to be on this planet. Sex is fun.

Most of us have had or will have sex sometime in our lifetimes.

I would be more hesitant to allow priests, or politicians near my children.
