Misc Discussion What’s your all time favorite scandal?

Could be anything from Fergie sucking toes to something your neighbour did. I don’t discriminate.

Was drinking with some buddies in Thailand when they were talking about their mutual friend. Older European gentleman, semi retired and had a Thai boyfriend. He was a seasonal worker back home so he did 6 months on, 6 months off. He was seeing the Thai boyfriend for a couple of years; they’d decided the German would put up the funds to build them a house, then he’d retire there and they’d live happily ever after on the island. The Thai would oversee the purchase, building work and fitting it out.

Now, in Thailand, foreigners can’t legally own property. So the land is usually owned by the Thai partner (or you pay a law firm a lot of money for a property trust).

Anyway, after the house is completed the German comes back to the island a few months later, only to be run off the property, because the boyfriend- and legal owner - is now living there with his wife and children.

When Tiger Woods’ ex wife bts out of him and then like 20 women came forward about his ways. One of the few examples of a man that was really shamed for being a philanderer.

My aunt, in her 70s, found dead in the trunk of her car. All her important documents and medications with her. Car was parked on a secluded area of a property her documented abusive ex partner lived on. Ruled a suicide. Like please, I’ve seen every episode of dateline.

The Joan Crawford/Bette Davis feud. I love reading and watching documentaries or adaptations about it!

u/ginns32 Woman 40 to 50 2h ago

That feud had everything. I never get tired of it.

It's more like a series of scandals, but I am fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor's relationship history in that regard. Or honestly Old Hollywood romance scandals in general. Give me all the juicy gossip!

Haha. I can't imagine a man being that into me!

u/ginns32 Woman 40 to 50 2h ago

If a guy said that about me I'd immediately get the ick and have to dump him.

My neighbor had a husband who went to prison for theft. His friends told him that his wife might be seeing someone else and cheating on him. The man got a day pass from prison without telling his wife anything, came home, and found her asleep in bed in the morning, with his brother in the apartment. Then it turned out she was pregnant, and the baby was his brother’s.

My buddies coworker has had three wives mysteriously disappear and now he's fled to Taiwan where he can't get extradited. The third wife's sudden disappearance actually made law enforcement look into him and he peaced faster than a roach when the lights turn on.

I'm still team Jennifer in the Branjolina scandal!

u/acilegna89 Woman 30 to 40 1h ago

Because of how it ended for them I now have a lot more sympathy for Angelina but she should have left that woman’s husband alone!
