aww, poor david. he’s getting a lot of slack at a time he should be getting a lot of support. addictions are all terrible, and i would argue that the worst addictions are not chemical related, but are the ones dealing with the things most people can handle normally (like gambling, shopping, eating, sex). those are less understood, but perhaps more painful. the details are none of our buisness. but i’m not gonna lie, with the timing of gillian anderson’s pregnancy i am overwhelmed with curiosity about their relationship (in the past… and apparently in the present). i always thought that there was something bw those two. if they had had affairs during their series i wouldn’t be surprised. if they had an affair during their reunion for the x files sequel i wouldnt be surprised. but if they had children together and actually had/have deep loving feelings for each other that they and fox have covered up for all of these years… then that’s drama for you. a conspiracy, one might say.

I would guess that Johnston & Murphy will probably suffer more for making a big deal out of this then David will for being honest. The “truth is out there” and it’s that the x-files movie sucked and californication is semi- autobiographical! who knew.

Apparently, his friends are saying it’s an Internet porn addiction and that he wasn’t having affairs. Granted, a copious amount of porn might have felt like cheating to Tea, but maybe he didn’t expose her to a slew of STDs after all…

Also, I think it’s a bit premature to pull his ads. He didn’t confess to pedophilia, after all, and Hollywood sure loves their drug addicts. LEAVE MULDER ALOOOONE!!

Victoria: I think that is a very good point. When I looked up sex addiction on the Internet after reading about DD going to rehab, there was a list of behaviors associated with it. Among them cheating, use of porn, voyerism, etc. The end of the list was molestation and/or rape.
The article I read made it clear that sex addiction is NOT synonimous with sexual deviency and that the extremes of behavior (molestation and rape) were confined to a limited number of people…but if it was even listed in the article I read, I can see where people would get freaked.
(although I don’t think for a second DD is guilty of anything criminal or deviant…I think his wife would have left long ago were that the case.)

Maybe he can be the spokesperson for Trojan.

That’s too bad, they should’ve kept him up. He’s hot, looks good in the clothes, he’s getting help…what’s the big deal?

AGREE CZARINA….. David has looked rough in the past few months. I don’t think he has washed or combed his hair in days. Maybe he does not care anymore. BUT, the media DID give Kate Moss a second chance. It is just that addiction that has some of us shivering in our timbers. I believe it covers a whole broad territory, when you say ” sex addiction”, and people start to think, ” children “? I don’t know, but that is what I have read… People’s minds run wild, and that is what advertisers do NOT want associated with their merchandise. Am I wrong here guys??

My my, he has big feet. Big feet in fugly shoes. I feel bad for his wife. NO telling what awful diseases he might have exposed her to. I hope she dumps his ass. As for the company, bet they sell more shoes than ever over this.

I agree with Anni. Cocaine Kate gets tons of work, Paris Hilton goes from No one to A Over exposed whore bag and Kim Kardashian suffered the same fate after sex tapes but someone whos seeking help and being responsible about their problems gets fired?

Bish please.

Having said that – I think David is a hot sexy beast even at his age. I’ll be his enabler!

The truth is, that in Hollywood particularly, there are “fashionable” addictions: drugs and alcohol. Being addited to drugs and booze is accepted as being a bi-product of being rich and famous, and if the celeb spends 30 days at rehab, all if forgiven.
First of all, I think ‘sex addiction’ is a misnomer. It is not a physical/chemical addiction; it is a behavior disorder.
People tend to find psychological disorders more difficult to accept or forgive.
And, to use Celebitchy’s wonderful word, this particular disorder comes across as “skeevy”. It is neither fashionable nor understandable to the general public.
Basically, it makes you say “ewww” or snicker. Which might not be fair, but I can understand the company not wanting Duchovney in their ads.
And RAN; you said he looked bad in the ads–I was thinking that, considering how good he looked on X-Files, in recent years, to me, he ALWAYS looks terrible; long greasy hair, unshaven, shlumpy. What happened? Maybe he needs a shower addiction as well? LOL (okay, that was mean…sorry).
