David Letterman's latest incident

Okay, so by now everyone knows about David Letterman’s latest incident. I honestly don’t feel that it matter whether or not he was forced into admitting to his affairs. Regardless, he came clean and he apologized to both his wife and the women he worked with.
Now, I’m not condoning cheating on anyone because I don’t believe it’s fair or morally right but when you’re in the type of industry it’s kind of understandable why it might happen. Look at it this way, if you’re never home always on the road- your relationship is bound to suffer whether you’re married or just dating. The lack of communication and attention being paid to your significant other is bound to take a toll and eventually affect the intimacy you share. In saying that, it’s only human nature to seek comfort where you can find it.
Many people in prominent positions have done this- so why is so much attention being paid to this particular incident? Well, obviously the blackmail aspect definitely adds to the appeal. No matter what, Letterman admitted to being in the wrong- came clean and apologized, I think it’s time to move on and let it go.

I agree. I also think that he did the right thing by ratting the guy out for extortion, but no one seems to care how this is affecting the women he worked with? Perhaps this is putting their relationships or jobs on the line now. It's sort of as if the media and everyone, for that matter, have forgotten that there are several other pieces in this puzzle that have been forgotten and are, no doubt, also suffering the consequences of this "drama."
