It has been too long since we have heard from AP. Hell, it has been too long since I have heard from AP. But, she called me last night and told me about something she saw over the weekend. I personally hate this kind of thing, and I do want you to know that AP had a long talk with this woman and told her to call anytime day or night.
AP was working out, and she noticed this really attractive woman who was working out and crying at the same time. Not crying because it hurt or anything, but real tears. So, AP asked if there was anything wrong. Well, it turns out that the woman is dating a married former A list television actor. When I say A list, I mean he was A+ list. Aging. Not too old. Very famous relationships. Not doing much now. Well this actor is an a-hole but this woman is in love with him and he has her convinced that he is going to leave his wife, and yada, yada, yada. Now, this guy used to be really good looking, but now, not so much. Anyway, each morning he has the woman weigh herself and send him a video of her weighing herself. She has to send him photos everyday of how she looks and what she is wearing. If she doesn't weigh what she is supposed to or doesn't look acceptable he yells at her and screams at her and basically treats her like crap.
When AP spoke with her, the woman actually used words and phrases like "he doesn't like it" and "he demands perfection." AP just knows the guy and knows he yells and screams a lot so is assuming he berates her just like he has berated everyone he has ever been with. The ting is, he only sees this woman once or twice a week, but he still demands perfection everyday. Plus, she has to let him know exactly where she is going and with whom and she just does it all without question. The morning in question that AP saw her, the woman was two pounds over her ideal weight and so was trying desperately to work it off because our actor had threatened to not see her that night unless she did, and there were plenty of other women he could be seeing if she could not do it. The thing is, he has this woman so messed up in the head that she barely knows herself anymore. AP was almost crying when she shared this, and AP never cries. Ever.
Nice guy huh?
Don Johnson
Califblondy got it. Tom Selleck was a popular guess on this one.
ReplyDeleteWTF?! Does that fucker even have money anymore? Get the fuck outta here with that shit!!
ReplyDeleteA relative used to be a nanny for Don Johnson and his wife many years ago, when he was just moving into irrelevancy. She said they were awful people and terrible parents.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAnd to think all those years he had a partner named Tubbs....smh
@jane3113 *giggles* good one! :-)
DeleteThe most beautiful Tubbs:
Deletethis is a local shop!
Poor Melanie, so glad she got away from him finally.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to muster a little sympathy for this woman but truly I can't. Here's what I would have told her:
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't love YOU
He's NOT going to leave his wife for you
He'd cheat on you like he's doing now if he did
He can't make you famous (see Dourtney)
Have a doughnut and find a single guy before you get hurt more
I don't know, Snowy Owls. Didn't we learn here that Antonio is just as bad? That poor woman and her self-esteem...no wonder so much awful plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteI would have said "Find another damn boyfriend. Also some self-esteem while you're at it." Why do women put up with this shit voluntarily?
ReplyDeleteyes, why wld yu put up with this? But no one ever accused Johnson of being a nice guy, ever. Well know dick. And his demand for perfection reminds me of the Jack Nicholson character in Carnal Knowledge.
ReplyDeleteStupid woman. Since there doesn't appear to be any real gossip more relevant than 2008 which was about SIX YEARS AGO let's hope the woman wised up and moved on.
ReplyDeleteI always liked Tubbs better!
ReplyDeleteHow ironic Johnson has really pudged out as he aged. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI never understand this. And usually it is very attractive women who fall for these control freaks. Blake Lively we're talking to you too.
I had a beautiful friend, whose now husband made her get on a scale ever day with him present, he also weight himself but he claimed he was also concerned if she lost too much weight, she had a chronic illness. I said to her when she told me this, any man that demanded that would get the scale bashed over his head and bye bye. She had just gotten out of a relationship with a guy who also was hypercritical even though half the guys in this town were drooling after her. I believe that is part of the reason it brought on the chronic illness. She almost died from it.
These men must feel so genuinely inadequate deep down inside that they need to chronically bully people to feel better about themselves.
What with all his groping of women in bars and such, I had no idea he was married. Funny, because I had such a crush on him waaaaay back in the day when he was Judson Fletcher in John Jakes' "The Rebels." (Pre-Miami Vice.)
ReplyDeleteDon sure knows how to find these low self-esteem women. I guess that is the only way he can feel good about himself. Shame.
ReplyDeleteMy good friend in Italy runs a high end tour company. She had the misfortune of showing Don Johnson and his wife around the country for several days. She said that he was falling down drunk the entire time...day and night, and was verbally abusive to his wife and anyone else in his path. He also got grabby with her when his wife went to the restroom. Disgusting man.
ReplyDeleteWow! I have a new found respect for Melanie Griffith. She must have been through hell and back before she met Antonio Banderas who loves her just the way she she is. Too many disgusting men out there...
ReplyDeleteI would have sent him this video.
ReplyDeleteIt's unknown whether or not he would have received it seven times.
+1 @Seven of Eleven :D
ReplyDeleteMelanie is still a hot mess, always has been. :/
ReplyDeleteClassic abusive behavior. No matter how hard she tries to please him, he won't allow it.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard/read about DJ, he's a total ass.
Hmmm....This is around the exact same time that he was dating a stripper in san francisco. she was very, very VERY thin and she said he liked her that way. He was also doing huge amounts of coke with her and "sharing" her with Sean Penn.
ReplyDeleteDon Johnson is far from broke and his wife comes from a wealthy family, he's never leaving her.
That is despicable. He's a waste of space.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching many of my friends stay in relationships like this, I have concluded that some people like being treated badly. Doesn't excuse Don's bad behavior though. I don't get it at all. Anyone made me weigh in daily, well, they'd never try that again.
ReplyDeleteI am going for Don Johnson. My good friend who is part of San Francisco Social Scene (mentioned many times in the late Herb Caen's columns) told me first had stories about Don Johnson, he was in the room when these stories happened. .. .. and these incidents happened right in front of San Francisco Elite and top social people. . anyways . . . I am on the Don Johnson guess. ..he is more gross and rude than you will ever know and this is from a first source.l
ReplyDeleteReally great guess on the blind that was revealed ravenz!!!! I guess this is Don Johnson too!
DeleteHehe @Mitzy and @ravenz. I think I'll guess Don Johnson too. Nailed it!
DeleteThe chuckles, @ravenz, don't let you off spilling if you have stories to tell - we need moar gozzip!
P.S. what Tish said, . .. .my friend who was at a social party with a very drunk Don Johnson .. .what he (being Don Johnson) said at the dinner table, while drunk ( my friend who is a producer/actor said of all people Don Johnson is/was the meanest of all actor's he has ever worked with and my friend is very open/compassionate and free when it comes to this so when he sees it first hand and actually talks about it please believe me that this is very true. . .any way Don Johnson had the worst reputation (only Sharon Stone was his equal) for bad and gross behavior in San Francisco .... oh what I was told about Don Johnson. . let's put it this way. .my heart goes out to Melanie Griffith because I can only conjecture what she must have been put through after being with this asshole, mean , drunkun" mess of an 'actor'
ReplyDelete"my friend who is a producer/actor said of all people Don Johnson is/was the meanest of all actor's he has ever worked with and my friend is very open/compassionate and free when it comes to this so when he sees it first hand and actually talks about it please believe me that this is very true"
DeleteJeez take a breath...
It's not a self esteem issue. It's not about wanting abuse. It's a bonding issue. Predators will bond with someone, usually through love bombing, soon after starting the abuse.
ReplyDeleteSome have the will to pull away. Others will have a Stockhilm syndrome type reaction.
It's a common practice of predators. That's why we all know someone this happened to. That's why when parents breed for dollars it's upsetting. Just an example of how people get bonding issues and can't get away.

ReplyDeleteI have always said that there are worse things that could happen in a relationship than cheating (normal, not Tiger Woods amount of rutting)... And THIS is one of them. What a fucking knob!
ReplyDeleteOkay Mitzy .. . : ) but sadly it is true . . as I take a breath : )
ReplyDelete;-) Ravenz
ReplyDeleteDon Johnson is a butthole!
I'm a native San Franciscan and have heard nothing good about Don Johnson, especially when he was filming Nash Bridges. Back then he was messing with his underage costar; the one who played his daughter.
ReplyDeleteHe's current wife maybe loaded, but they didn't pay their bills in Vale, CO. He filed for bankruptcy back in 2004. I don't think his rich wife's parents are bankrolling him anymore, which is why he's started to work again.
@Henriette - thanks for that - I was going to post that I recalled him being in the news some years back for having to sell one of his mansions (Aspen, I think?) due to financial issues ... there was talk at the same time of him being sued left, right and centre for not baying his bills.

ReplyDeleteA friend of mine used to clean house for DJ when he was married to Melanie. The only notable thing she said about them is that they chain smoked. She also got clothes from Melanie which she gave to her niece, who couldn't fit into them - and she was a tweener. Melanie is tiny.
ReplyDeleteI met DJ when I was 12. Let's just say none of this surprises me. The man oozes skeeze. If it's true about the girl who played his daughter it doesn't surprise me either. It almost felt like he was hitting on me. Mind you I didn't look 12 but I didn't look legal either.
ReplyDeleteI lived in SF during the DJ era. He was pretty sloppy in bars and actually had a lawsuit filed against for groping a woman in a bar, which settled out of court.
ReplyDeleteHis wife is a Phleger, of Brobeck, Phleger and Harrison, a prominent law firm that went out of biz a few years ago. I believe she was the grand daughter of the named principal.
Her interesting pedigree is she was formerly engaged to Gavin Newsom who is now the Lt. Governor of CA. He is the best friend of Billy Getty and was also married to Fox news host Kimberly Guilfoyle (sp?) (BTW, Kim G always claims that she was a former Vicky Secret model, but she wasn't. She merely modeled Vicky Secret naughty togs in a cheezey bridal magazine.)
I've had a couple of drinks and felt the need to unload the few, paltry pieces of gossip I have in my rapidly degenerating brain.
It's because he supposedly has a huge penis. Size queens will put up with anything, y'all
ReplyDeleteNo sympathy for anyone in this. they know the game.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I had the biggest crush in him back in the Miami Vice days. My at the time husband resembled him and I bought him the Miami Vice clothes too. What can I say, it was the 80's. It's too bad he's such a shithead. I wonder how Barbra Streisand put up with his crap?
ReplyDeleteWow - he's hardly a oil painting ... even on Miami Vice he looked greasy and overcooked.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Melanie doesn't eat anything - after living with him for so long she's probably well and truly conditioned to never eat.
*AN* oil painting! (Stupid keyboard)
ReplyDeleteI have pretty low self-esteem but I would NEVER put up with this kind of abuse from anyone on planet earth. Some women are really screwed up in the head.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel sorry for her. She knew he was married yet fell into a relationship with a known asshole.
ReplyDeleteWhat an asshole. I hope she got away and is okay now.
ReplyDeleteFuck don johnson. Frustrated gay man. He just misses taking sal mineo up the but. Lots of guys do this bull with women. Its up to her to snap out of it,walk away and get help. Hes not blackmailing her. Shes volounteering for abuse,sad and awful, but she can get away. I hope she does. This is fucked.

ReplyDeleteI am going for Don Johnson
Great guess on the reveal there ;)
WTH? Both of these people have major issues!! Why would anyone put up with this??
ReplyDeleteI am chuckling at myself too .. that is what I get for drinking a beer while on this site ..what I meant was I am not surprised this was revealed to be him from what I know via his behaviour while in San Francisco during filming of Nash Bridges. . my stories do nothing but confirm that he is mean, crude, and nasty sans alcohol and have been told via first hand accounts that he is the meanest drunk many people have ever encountered. Also can verify others accounts posted by commentators on CDAN about his 'interest' in young girls. .I would love to dish one of my stories but don't want to get in trouble ...
