The FYI on TMI

"This is not an allegation but expressing my emotions", he wrote. But he didn't have to. Even if his wife continues to make public statements about their relationship.

Or ask Kim Kardashian, struggling to hold on to her privacy and dignity in the weeks after she filed for divorce from musician Kanye West in 2019. When West repeatedly complained on Instagram that he was being kept from their children, she replied to one of his rants with this message: "Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning, picking up the kids for school."
