Well -- since i posted the infamous YouTube Divorce video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx_WKxqQF2o life has been a whirlwind and somewhat surreal. The video went up around 10.30 pm Eastern Time on April 10th. When I awoke the next morning around 9am there were 200 hits -- by lunchtime 914 -- at the end of the day about 100,000. I couldn't believe it! By Monday I was the villain of the internet and the phone was ringing off the hook. The story was global -- Australia wanted to talk with me -- India - Canada -- Brazil -- Mexico -- Sweden -- it was incredible. And then there were the dreadful comments -- mainly from my soon to be ex-in-laws and the Broadway and West End sycophants. Wow -- the names i was called . . . so disgusting. What baffled me, and still does was the anger at me for sticking up for myself in the only way I knew -- through my art -- using my imagination to outwit money and power. What other choice did I have? If I hadn't have gone public I would be in dire straits now. Instead I am inundated with offers of work, people are talking about me writing a memoir, (I've had a very interesting life!) who will play me in the movie -- because there has to be a movie, reality show offers, magazines etc. The tide is turning -- people are beginning to see the truth -- that a man I loved betrayed me for money -- and I hurt -- will always hurt, but I will get through this and will turn lemons into lemonade.
Anyway -- next week is full of meetings and interviews. I feel as though I'm suspended -- not knowing what's around the corner -- it's scary but I''ve had frightening times before and got through, so hopefully all will be well and there will be laughter and love on the horizon. I thank all my supporters for their kind words. Meantime I'm in the New York apartment alone remembering the yesterdays and sad that a part of my life is almost over, but looking forward to new beginnings.
