Sue Decker, ex-Yahoo president, accused of drugs and sex in divorce scandal

Words flying around include: illegal drug use, extramarital affair(s) and secretly recording her husband. Not a Grade B movie, but rather a divorce for Sue Decker, the fast rising and fallen executive at Yahoo. The charges are so scandalous that the only winners will be the lawyers. I don’t say this in the spirit of “damn the lawyers” but rather because both parties will come out of this mess unbelievably tainted. And as always in high-profile divorce cases, the children will suffer.

High profile and low class

Is the world of love and marriage taking on a new look in high-level divorces — low-class mudslinging? What was once “until death do us part” is becoming until “we smear each other to death.” With children involved, it is somewhat shameful that such allegations have surfaced.

As one friend who survived a celebrity-status divorce says, “It only takes two people to tie the knot and say ‘I do’ and then a parade of attorneys to undo the ties that bind.” She thinks that this article should have read love, marriage, and greedy lawyers. For my part I am wondering who is looking out for “the best interest of the child.”?
