MR. PERFECT?

What's the scoop, Charlie?

First thing every morning, TLW (The Little Woman) will turn on the TV and have Channel 2 News on. The show has a local NYC and Long Island flavor before the CBS NEWS with Charlie Rose world news comes on. Judging from the bags under old Charlie’s eyes, he’s been up all night getting the news.

The first show used to until recently feature Rob Morrison as the anchor and his beautiful wife Ashley did the money news. Then suddenly Rob was making news instead of just reporting! Police say they saw red marks on Ashley Morrison's throat and heard Rob Morrison threaten to kill her, as they arrested him in a domestic dispute. Apparently he tells a different story and the tabloids seem to be happy to exploit it since it is the TV media with the black eye or red marks around the neck.

There is suspicion about what happened in that household, and it seems that Ashley delivered some punishment of her own, leaving Rob with a cut nose and bloody lip! The thing that troubles me is that he was fired from NBC and that was because he was cheating on Ashley and she blackmailed the whole bunch at NBC if they didn’t do something about the young intern involved.

Some time between the incident at NBC and recently, Ron Threatened to hurt his son if Ashley ever left him,

Rob Morrison is a handsome man, has a great history as a reporter, and the former marine has a beautiful wife and everything including a healthy child. His job is high profile and I’m sure interesting, he shares a beautiful home in Darien Connecticut, so how the heck can he throw it away?

The situation has taken hold in my house, because TLW and I are both fascinated by the whole ordeal and almost take it personally! We have been watching this morning newscast for a few years now, and seem to take the people on that show like old friends! The lead man suddenly makes news like that and: WOW! Suddenly they are humanized, they cross over the threshold of glamour and fame and suddenly are in a box labeled loser, BIG TIME!

Too bad

I actually feel bad for the family, the sanctity of married life is destroyed, their child will have to remember this and live with it for the rest of his young life, and everything about Morrison as the villain in this story is exposed, written about and speculated on, in a court of public opinion.

Is he guilty? I don’t know, but he is tarnished. The thing is I thought all along life was grand for him, then…

I guess there are risks when you choose a life of notoriety.

How sad!
