[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to know what is true, but usually it's somewhere in the middle.  And this media writer can take nuggets of information and spin them into nefarious statements to make Gerry look like a horrible jerk.

The article says:
"At restaurants, Carolyn paid her half in advance, and then when the check came, Gerry paid the whole tab, like the big man.

They agreed Gerry was fastidious about cleanliness. In the mornings, she says, Gerry insisted that Carolyn make the bed before she come upstairs for breakfast. "

It's possible they had a very equal relationship and Carolyn WANTED to pay her own way (or they mutually agreed that each paying for their own meals was fair).  They don't quote Carolyn saying "Gerry was a cheap-skate, chauvinist, abusive jerk."  Carolyn doesn't say those things about Gerry.

So she paid him her share of the meal, and he paid for the total.  It's THE WRITER who throws in the subjective negativity "like the big man."  That's the THR trying to gin up hatred for Gerry and get clicks.  That Carolyn "paid him in advance" could mean that she gave him $20 before the check arrived and then he total paid the check with his credit card.

Re: household chores, again, the truth could be that G and C had a perfectly normal conversation that whoever gets out of bed last should make the bed.  So, G gets up earlier and starts the coffee... and their arrangement was that C would make the bed before she came to the kitchen.  But, a writer could hear that scenario and twist it to "Gerry insisted that C make the bed before coming to breakfast!"

The point is, we DON'T know Gerry's side, and a lot of the "hit" parts of the article DON'T have any "proof."  The article references "proof" that Carolyn lived at the lake house.  But, that's not "proof" that he told her she's fat and he forced her to do all the housework, etc., etc.

It's just a SUPER suspicious hit piece that is getting a lot of clicks b/c Gerry is very topical right now.

It's funny that they say Carolyn is speaking up now because she doesn't want to be talked about around Davenport.  THEY BROKE UP THREE YEARS AGO!  No one is going to be talking about her.  It's all very smarmy.[/quote]
