Jerry Springer...a coward?
Hello Ploggers, how are you all. I am planning to talk about a controversial topic so hold onto your👒 hats. I find it always far more challenging to talk about the deceased. Death, dying and talking about the dead are taboo in our society. But of course I have to have my say.
Earlier this month Jerry Springer died of Pancreatic cancer. He lived a fabulously wealthy and successful life. Those who knew him said he was a genuinely nice guy. He started out as Mayor of Cincinnatti, Ohio before he went onto talk show fame. My Father’s people were from that area and they pronounced it "Cincinnatta". I was not a fan of his show but that certainly didn’t stop his success. His show and its topics were often rowdy, bawdy and lewd. He was not famous for his subtlety or demure delivery. The show used a paid security guard as part of the Shtick because there was ALWAYS a fight in the making. So it wasn’t like he had a show that religious people would study. It was pure TRASH TV and he was proud of it. It was a total success.
Since he has died he left a 🎥 video where he confesses that he has two out of wedlock and half black children. He never publically acknowledged them until now that he has died. He blamed that on his wife, who threatened to expose him if he uttered a word. But he did leave his entire estate to them and cut out his wife upon his death. He gave his kids substantial property. But I bet those kids would have rather been a part of his life while he was alive than now in his⚰️ death,
His actions remind me of a slave owner. He regularly slept with this woman (the mother of
the two kids) over at least an 18 month period. He reminds me of Thomas Jefferson who had 6 kids with Sally Hemmings. Only Jefferson never freed his half black kids or left them a💰 dime. He kept his relationship and their offspring a dirty secret. My question in the case of Jerry Springer is why. It wasn’t like he was known as a minister or anything. Did he not notice that the topics of most of his shows were unseemly❓ Did he think it would lower his public image❓ Did he never hear of divorce❓ Did he not see a way to leave his wife for someone he said he truly loved ❓It happens every day. Did she control the money❓ I am puzzled by his brave but cowardly acts. If he was trying to save face for his wife, he certainly blew 📢 that by releasing the video confession. But he did say he was a coward, and I tend to agree with him. He was, but he did the right thing in death. RECLAIM!
