Robin Wright Penn Really Confuses Me
Apparently at some point in the past few months I must have fallen asleep and missed the day when Robin Wright Penn decided to not reconcile with Sean Penn. Did everyone else miss that as well? I think at this point we should review the time line. Sean Penn goes on vacation with the wife and kids and gets caught by his wife in a hotel room with a Russian hooker. Or was it two? Then you had Robin leaving him. They then reconciled. Then we have the Academy Awards where Sean totally blew off his wife in his acceptance speech and then after the show threw her under the biggest bus he could find. Then you have Sean filing for divorce and Robin goes on her merry way to Cannes and starts to live her life and then the two are back together.
But wait. According to the September issue of MORE Magazine, Robin and Sean never reconciled. Huh? Robin gave an interview to the magazine and the magazine says that she said that she wasn't going to reconcile with Sean. They don't have her quoted as saying that in the excerpt on their site though. What they do have her quoted as saying is, "I hit that crossroad a while ago. For Robin [she gestures toward herself], the ‘I know what I don’t want’ was flashing neon lights.” Still, she’s not bitter. “I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together.”
She also wants you to know that at least twice a week she pulls over to the side of the road to cry because one of her kids is about to go to college and the other isn't far behind. As for her career she says, “I think I’ve always been a follow-the-leader with my career, or maybe waiting for things to happen. Now I’m like, ‘I’m OK—I know the direction, whoever’s on board can go with me. I think I f*cked myself by not being strong enough. Waffling—you know, ‘Can I do this?’ I think that’s being young and finding out who you are, and all of a sudden, post-40, you just go, ‘I do know. I have the answer.’ There’s not as much questioning of my abilities.”
I think the whole waffling thing isn't confined to her career. I think the quote where she talks about her career is a more accurate representation of what is going on and has gone on in her life.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are still together or not together or are doing some kind of Tommy Lee and Pamela thing but without the diseases and the bad plastic surgery.
