“It’s news to me. He didn’t seem any more or less horny than anyone I worked with.”
David Duchovny’s writer pal Matt Dearborn, commenting about the actor’s recent decision to check into sex addiction rehab.
Heh, you know this whole checking-into-sex-rehab thing is just Tea Leoni’s punishment for finding out he’d cheated on her at some point. And it’s actually quite brilliant. When he’s groveling like “Please, baby, let me make it up to you. What can I do? Just tell me, baby? I’ll do anything,” Tea thinks about it and is like, “Jesus, what’s a fair punishment for this. Well, I could just go ahead and cheat on you, and that would technically make us even, but that’s just going to put a further strain on our relationship. I could chop off your nuts, but, in the long run, that’s not doing me any favors, either. What would be a suitable punishment? Hm … Oooh! I’VE GOT IT!”
And that is how David Duchovny ended up having his lawyer issue a formal statement indicating that he’d checked into rehab for sex addiction.
Speaking of which, does anyone else remember that Bree Sharp song, “David Duchovny (Why Won’t You Love Me?)”
I’ve included the YouTube vid here in case you haven’t. Because everyone should hear this song.
I remember, after that song came out, some interviewer asked him what he thought about it all. And he said he’d written a rebuttal track called “Tea Leoni Why Won’t You Blow Me,” so it was all good. Ha.
How is it that I have NEVER heard that?!? Thanks Beet! :)
I was unprepared for the high volume of cameos at the end of that song. Whoa.
I don’t believe in sex addiction. It’s just an excuse for choosing to have sex with lots of people.
stupid song. your theory would only prove that tea leoni isn’t good enough in bed to keep her man from straying. sounds like she needs to learn how to do a better job as a wife.
Censorthis, with your logic a rape victim is to blame because she has a vagina. Tea Leoni isn’t the problem the David got caught cheating and she isthisclose to divorcing him, so much so she just sold their home, and depending on his actions will buy another one in LA, or flee to NYC, with the kids.
He’s a well known cheat, and when the person who he was cheating on her with was mentioned on several blogs, Tea had the coming to Jesus meeting with him, involving a few lawyers no doubt.
I would like to agree that it’s a choice, but I’ve never been addicted to anything so I’m really not in the position to say. However, the “chop your nuts off” idea I think would have worked out wonderfully. Can anyone say worry-free birth control?
only the rich are sex addicts
it’s a condition for rich people
the poor are …you know what!
OMG why didn’t I think of this song first. I used wonder why David Duchovny didn’t love me too. :@
Old reader, new poster… pretty sure that he was in Sex Rehab once before after the X-files ended… right before he hooked up with Tea. It was in the papers then as he was a pretty hot TV star at the time. That’s why he hung low…
Buffy!!!!
That song is pretty awesome…
The sex addiction (like mcbiscuit stated) is just an excuse for choosing to have sex with lots of people.
I’ve been mailing people all week to get here and read your article!!
Sex addiction is still strongly debated over as to its credibility in the addiction arena, but then again I’m sure that 50 years ago when people used to drink alcohol right in their offices, alcoholism wasn’t too credible either. I think it’s a shift in times, where you finally realize that something can and is a problem. I believe that there are people who will abuse of the term “sex addiction” for their own purposes (whether it be cheating or something else), but no doubt there are others who do the same with other addictions. The only difference is that those addictions are now taken seriously. I believe that once something makes you physically and mentally sick, than it is no longer a crutch or an excuse, it has become a huge problem and where sex, alcohol or drugs are involved that usually means addiction. I just wish him the best, everybody deserves to be happy and people I’m sure would be mocking him a lot less if it were any other type of addiction. Years ago bulimia and anorexia weren’t in the headlines, or even thought of, but now they are. So bear this in mind: there will always be new and worse addictions coming into exposure. The question is how willing are we to accept their existence, in order to aid those who are suffering from it?
Also…alcohol or drugs is in itself not easy to quite. Anybody who”s suffered from alcoholism or drug abuse (or whose seem many people struggle with them, like I have) know how difficult and gut-retching an experience it is. But once out of rehab it’s a mind-set of: I will simply never touch that again, but with a sexual addiction it brings in a whole other mind-set. One I’m afraid we still can’t predict or understand, for you can’t simply just say to yourself: I shall never have sex again as you would with any other substance abuse problem; “I shall never have one drink again” or “I shall never touch druga again”, sex is very different and even though I am no medical doctor I know this much: you cannot not have sex. Here inlies the problem than. How do you treat an addiction, which one cannot seperate itself from?
If you know the anwser than by all means enlighten the rest of us, but if you do not (which I’m pressuming is most of you out there) than please, don’t judge.
The world doesn’t anymore judgement on our part.
