Todd Thomson and his wife, Melissa, could use more than a second honeymoon right about now.
The recently axed Citigroup exec has been grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons, with everyone from Page Six to the Wall Street Journal insinuating that his jetsetting relationship with "Money Honey" Maria Bartiromo was something more than platonic, and chiding him for his over-the-top extravagances, (i.e. his luxe former office, "derisively dubbed 'The Todd Mahal.'")
And now, it's being reported that Thomson and his wife have disappeared on a possibly romantic, possibly horribly awkward and definitely ill-timed vacay up in the mountains.
So, with things spiraling out of control, we decided to write an open letter to Todd offering our unsolicited advice for his myriad of problems, and reprinted it for you below:
Dear Todd,
Not sure if disappearing with your wife to a remote cabin is really the proper course of action here. Most husbands/philanderers in your position would either flee in terror, or else stick to very, very public places lest their wives pull a Lorena Bobbitt and lash out at them for their indiscretions. (Haha, we're only kidding! Probably).
And while we're on the subject of discretion, maybe you ought to reconsider the whole chartering a private jet for your possibly adulteress companion modus operandi. As we already learned from Scott Storch's failure to land Lindsay "Sure Thing" Lohan, grand overtures won't necessarily get you the girl, but they will bring extremely public attention to your failure, and—in your case—clue your wife in to the fact that you've been hiding the sausage somewhere else.
Oh, and also? You might want to work on that whole humility thing. Because, as it turns out, people generally don't feel sorry for jackasses who cheat on their wives by banging television news celebrities on the desk of "The Todd Mahal."
Hope this helps!
Jossip
Let us know if we missed anything.
Love the letter, but perhaps there should be a postscript in there? something like, "p.s., next time try NOT cheating on your wife."
Better P.S. would be, "Make sure that you still have a high paying job when the wife sues you for divorce and goes for the gizzard."
Or P.S. Hope you remembered to have Sweet Melissa sign that prenup!
What kind of person trademarks the name Money Honey? Seriously…
Was 'Money Honey' just out to promote her ratings??
Unfaithfulness in a marriage is arguably the most damaging thing to the participant you can pull down upon yourself. I will NEVER leave you mind and you can be forgiven for misstep (lapse of mind) BUT, it will never be forgotten. Life for Maria and Todd will never be the same…..I suppose they both thought they had the world by the ass…having a good time and nobody…knows. We do now.
I read recently in a Maria Bartiromo bio that her best friend is her mother. I wonder what mother Josephine thinks of her beautiful but not so smart daughter, now.
Don't forget bloggers, to read Jossip's open letter to Todd Thomson. It covers just about everything but, still doesn't tell us why a huge corporation like GE/NBC/CNBC continues the support of one of their talents, Maria Bartiromo, apparently an amoral individual……SHE STILL HAS A JOB.
See that picture of Maria in a red gown …..and the face next to her……its' a face only a mother could love. IK
For those not in the know….thats who Maria has been sleeping with…….He's probably quite wealthy (handling other peoples money) If you were a beauty queen could you take that?
