Agree with some version of the above. But I don't think that an affair necessarily --> caused relapse, particularly as there have been articles/rumors about his infidelity even beyond/ before Munn. Perhaps his wife blamed the cheating on the addiction (and certainly they could be mutually reinforcing), but then, after his relapse/recovery, had to face the hard fact that really, he was just a cheater all along. |
| I feel bad for everyone involved. At least his ex-wife got out of there without having kids with that guy. But this new relationship won't last. Imagine all that stress just months after you get clean. Imagine trying to make a family with a dude that left his ex less than a year ago and is newly sober with a mountain of work to do ahead of him. Good luck to everyone. |
You must not have followed her social media and the gossip as his rehab was beginning (and in the weeks leading to it). Her response was not typical of a wife whose husband relapsed. Zero support. Instead, she was mad and not afraid to show it. That’s a scorned woman. I think she discovered cheating/inappropriate behavior, he blamed it on the drugs and promised to get help, and she thought they would work through it. That’s the blindsided part. Her words. He was definitely screwing around. |
So I'm wondering if in both of your cases if your relatives were married or had significant others prior to meeting their current spouses? I think that situation is different as well. |

There is weird misogyny going on towards Olivia Munn in this thread. Male actors date lots of women all the time and don't get called these names. Lots of times when a man leaves his wife there is a lot of female hatred for the other woman, but not so much for the man who actually makes the decision to cheat and/or leave. Seems like that's at least part of what's going on here. Folks want to be angry at someone but not at Mulaney who they really like.
I'm not saying everyone should be mad at Mulaney. People are fallible. Especially people on drugs. But don't misplace your anger. |
He says he moved out in October 2020. What was her response? The only one I saw was in spring 2021. |
I think the latter. A lot of women with eating disorders fear pregnancy. |
I’ve seen nothing but disgust for Mulaney in this thread. Not sure what you’re reading. In sum: he’s a trainwreck loser and she’s desperate for relevancy. Everyone feels sorry for the ex-wife and the innocent kid. |
np I feel sorry for the new woman. His ex-wife got away from this hot mess. |
DP. I’m not disgusted. Nothing I’ve posted shows disgust. I think things are more complex than some posters are making it out to be. Infidelity, addiction, eating disorders. It’s not like this was a happy, healthy marriage. |

Eh, plenty of misogynistic stuff in here actually:
and other earlier stuff blaming her for the breakup, she must have chased him, etc. Either way it was Mulaney's decision to cheat and leave his wife, or vice versa, whatever, but responsibility belongs with him. |
| Mulaney's a mess. He is in such a bad place if you watch the interview. He/his team are desperate to save his career, but his actions doesn't really endear him to his base audience. I hope he gets better because, based on that cringe-worthy interview, he looks like he could derail again and soon. He's officially sad smut. |
| Why does anyone care about these people? She is a old used up audition couch with no career and he’s the most painfully unfunny cringe “comedian” I’ve ever heard in my life. This all sounds fake to build him some viral edgy brand. |
