Ryan Seacrest hosts a local morning radio show here in L.A. and its what I listen to while getting ready for work. This morning, when I turned it on, he was reading a letter from a listener asking his advise on something. I’m going to give you the run down and lets discuss it.
Ok, so this lady has been with her husband for over 10 years. About 11 years ago their relationship began facing rough times and she feared it would end soon. So to save her relationship she gets pregnant. But not by him. She gets pregnant and tells him the baby is his, though, and things magically change between them and now things are perfect. Five years into their daughter’s life he decides its time to complete their family and they marry. Now the child is ten years old and he has no idea she is not his daughter. What should she do? He and the child are very close, closer than she is with her daughter. She’s asking Ryan for advise.
WWYD? How does that story make you feel? Would/could you ever do something like that? Discuss.

1) ok who asks a radio DJ for marriage advice? That alone tells me this woman is a dumbass
2) this woman is a dumbass.
3) before she gets married (or had a child) she should’ve learned to be ok with herself…
4) She should be honest with him- try turning her life around and if her relationship fails… well… maybe it wasnt’ a healthy relationship anywya if she thinks getting pregnant will “save” her marriage

That’s freaking low, who does that shit??? First of all, I would never do that, but if I did I think I’d have to fess up and face the consequences.

I’m not one to judge because I haven’t walked even a step in her shoes.
But for me, I couldn’t do that. I would have told him when I got pregnant. But you can’t say would have either so she needs to be honest or bury it very deep.
Like in my family. There are always speculations about my nephew Jacob. He doesn’t look a thing like my brother. There is always talk of having a test done but like I told my brother, “you love him right? You are his father right? He calls you daddy right? Then fuck it. Nobody needs to know.”

The "Mind"
Ok, first I would never do that. Second, at this point, what does “coming clean” do other than make her feel better about it. She fucked up, she should live with it. I think this dumbass needs to leave the kid and father in innocent bliss and keep her trap (and her legs) closed.

Well this just sucks. Sucks I say. It will be very bad when (not if) but when this guy finds out the truth.

I agree with “the mind”. Why upset the relationship the father and daughter have. He is raising her. Who cares if it is not blood? Blood don’t make a parent.

Jenny!
1st of all…Ryan Seacrest is giving advice…WTF!!!
That is really hard ot give advice on, because she should have asked for advice before she got pregnant!

I would not be happy. After the initial shock and being royally pissed, I’d have to have a cool down period and try to put myself back together. My gut would tell me I would say adios to the wife.

Maybe this story is all just a big metaphor for SEACREST’s big secret… he may be seeking listener feedback to see if they would accept him if he finally came out of the closet after all this time.

She needs to tell the truth sooner rather than later. When the child grows up, she’ll need her real father’s info for medical records, etc…The mother has done more than play with emotions, but health and well being as well.
Hmm…Ask Simon Cowell what she should do.

I hope that woman gets everything she has coming to her(and more!) and that her daughter doesn’t have to fall victim(anymore) to the fall out..poor kid..poor husband. He’s in a really shitty postiton isn’t he??

I think she might have pushed the “Mind” out of the driver’s seat in the bus.
Wow. Just wow.

First, I’m with Laurel. Ryan Seacrest is totally gay and I am okay with that, but he needs to come out.
Secondly, who does that??!! I would have told the dude a LONG time ago not waited until the kid was older to then start wondering what to do. I don’t know…maybe she should wait until the kid is old enough to deal with it so they don’t totally fuck up her life too.

It’s chicks like that who give the rest of us a bad name. That’s really all I think on this subject.

I can’t believe Ryan is giving advice, let alone that some woman would ask him for it! Ah well, I think what the woman did was absolutely ROTTEN! I do not have respect for women who get pregnant with the intentions it’ll “save” the relationship. But my big WTF is why would she get pregnant by some one else–that’s just low down dirty mean! Then to pass the child off as his for 10years and now wonder what she should do? That lady needs help–I doubt Ryan will be much of one. I never realized everyone thought Seacrest was gay, what rock have I been under?

I totally agree with all your comments. I do have to say that when I heard the letter being read it pissed me off! OMG I got so mad. I don’t lie and I CAN’T stand it when adults lie. I think its stupid and ridiculous to lie. But this lie? Oh wow, this lie, IMO, is just cruel.
My opinion on it is she should take this lie to her grave. Some may not agree but what does she have to gain with the truth, right now? Sure I get the whole “it might come out one day” or “for medical knowledge” I get that. But right now the child is ten years old & doesn’t need her world crushed.
I also think the woman is a bitch.

whoa. that is definitely rough and I don’t personally have a clue what I’d do in that circumstance, but I can guarantee it wouldn’t involve asking Ryan freakin Seacrest or advice. WTF? When did he become Dear Abby?
