Paul 'N' Heather

So did he choke her? Did he object to her breastfeeding their kid because those were "his" breasts?

I'll never hear Yesterday again without asking myself those questions.

A carefully-managed reputation turns to dust.

To me, the sad thing isn't that the man's reputation might be damaged now. It's that celebrities have this kind of constant media access, that they can have a falling out or a break-up and thus for three months the 'news' tells us all the he-said she-said as if the intimate details of this pair's inner workings are somehow important in the Big Picture.

Make them deal with it privately, like regular people, I say. Make them stop using the media as a weapon against each other.

Today the word is that he's hitting back (so to speak.) According to his people, she used to beat him. Poor Sir Paul.

They seem to have chosen to go this route. The other option- "we've come to an arrangement and we're still good friends"- was always open to them and at first it seemed as if they'd take it.

Then we call it a draw. They both walloped on each other, that's a fight, not abuse, so neither side gets to use the claim in court.

(The law is swift and brutal and not kind to drama in mokievania.)

Without in-laws and (not so) well-meaning friends poking their noses in, and lawyers spotting a good target, they might still be okay with that arrangement. Probably too late now, more's the pity.
