A&E is now about to rerun their interview with Michael Bergin, whose book "The Other Man: Carolyn Bessette, JFK Jr., and Me" has just come out, for about the fifth time since Monday. In NYC, the NY Post printed excerpts from the book in Mon., Tues., and today's issues.
The guy has claimed that the only reason he wrote his book, which details all kinds of intimate junk about Bessette, was to "set the record straight" about Carolyn, such as that she didn't have a cocaine problem, as was claimed in the book by one of JFK Jr.'s *friends.* Instead he talks about her two abortions, intimating that one of them might have been JFK Jr.'s child and either way, Carolyn didn't know if it was John Jr.'s or Bergin's, asserting that he, Bergain, carried on a sexual affair with Bissette after she married John, and other things that paint her as a mess, despite him constantly saying how much he loves her and how he *knows* she always loved him. Yeah, sounds like you really love her to me, buddy.
I have no problem with books that go after celebrities. It goes with the territory. But Carolyn and JFK Jr. are dead. They can't defend themselves, give their side of the story, or call these people who just *want to set the record straight* by their right names. I haven't looked, but I'm sure Bergin's book is now at the top of the NY Times bestseller list. Bergin, BTW, is a former Calvin Klein model, was on "Baywatch" for a couple of seasons, and has otherwise hasn't had much of an acting career. Bergin is also *happily married* with two kids.
I'm hardly one to live in a bubble and think that John Jr. and Carolyn Bessette didn't have problems as bad as or worse than others of their age, wealth, and social standing. And if Michael Bergin came out and said, "Yeah, sure. I'm a sleaze for doing this, but I believe in free enterprise," I'd actually be find with that. But all this "I'm doing this because I've always loved her" BS just makes me ill.
So this is how sick I am of Michael Bergin: :-0~~~~~~~~~
