Why is it eveyone else's fault but her's?


She has appeared on The View numerous times and talked about how Harvey Keitel ruined her financially, emotionally, and otherwise during their divorce. She also claims that Mr. Keitel caused her a lot of grief in other ways that she was unwilling to disclose. And yet the information that she selectively chose to omit during he appearances on the show, and the information that the women never challenged her on is how she has been married three times to different men unsuccessfully and also that she has been treated for clinical depression, for which she takes medication to control. And it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider that as a primary contributing factor to her marriages breaking up.

She was most recently divorced from Edward James Olmos after being married to him for years from (1994-2002), almost 10 years. Before that she was married to Harvey Keitel for over 10 years from 1982-1993, and her first marriage occurred when she was married briefly for 3 years to Daniel Guerard from 1979-1982 when she was in her late 20's. However that marriage is not lasting is understandable, due to her youthful age at the time. Nevertheless, the others occurred when she was more mature and older, so why does it always seem to be everyone else's fault regarding her marriages breaking-up, but never he own according to her?

It is tiring listening to professional women, that others consider to be strong-willed females, playing the victim selectively when things don't work out for them. Heck, she is characterized as others as being a very strong-willed Brooklynite, that has achieved very great professional success due to her fortitude and tenacity. So if she's strong enough to achieve that type of professional success, why can't women like her be strong enough to accept the role that they played in their romantic relationships breaking-up? They always want it all, as long as they don't have to accept the responsibility/blame for the failures they experience!!! But when that occurs, they frequently resort to playing the victim which is a contradiction to the strong-willed woman that she normally portrays.

Don't you have your own life to worry about?

Stop watching the view and stop trying to live vicariously through other people. Go do something meaningful with your life. Go help someone other than yourself. She doesn't owe you anything. Least of all an explanation about her personal life.

How pathetic are you to actually sit down and write this?

And yet, as pathetic as you claim I am to write it...you took even more valuable time to respond to it with some thought. What kind of hypocritical moron are you? It appears you also need to stop living vicariously through online post & get a life as well!

I think you bring up some legit questions, mr2cool. I don't know what to say, though...I really wish I could hear both her and Harvey Keitel's perspectives on the break down of their marriage, it would be fascinating.

mr2cool,
I think you answered your own question.

While this is interesting and I learned a lot from your post, no one really knows what happened between her and her various marriages (10 year marriages are nothing to sneeze at!).

...anyway, Keitel is my favorite actor of all time, I've always felt like he is probably really dark and evil in real life. I can see him causing people grief. I'm curious.
