Wow. Some of you people are so judgmental.

You don’t know Jesse.
You don’t know his wife.
You don’t know his relationship with his wife.
You don’t know the girl he hooked up with OR what their relationship is.

You just assume he’s thinking with Little Jesse, throwing some innocent, wonderful woman under the bus and rutting during the 23 hours a day he’s not on the air.

... and, while that could be the case, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yahbut people on anonymous internet forums always know more than the people who are actually involved in things.

All true, but with 6 year old twin daughters, there’s no justifying it no matter how hellish his marriage might be. His life belongs to those little girls.

"I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt."

Never trust a man who will betray his wife and mother of his children, as he has revealed himself to be a very untrustworthy person and unworthy of anyone's trust. That is why a government employee would lose his security clearance over this.

Interesting comments ... byt Fox should get rid of both of them. They have proven they cannot keep their focus upon work, and she has the equipment to ruin more lives.

Wow. Some of you people are so judgmental. You don’t know Jesse. You don’t know his wife. You don’t know his relationship with his wife.

Aaaaaand that's why it's called "commitment", and not "on spec."

It would appear that those commenting here are more than generally disagreeing with you. I'm not one of them though....I've learned over the years that when men become adulterous, it is more often than not after his wife became unfaithful to her commitment to the marriage. It doesn't excuse adultery but it at least makes it more understandable as far as why it happened. Best to just sit at the sidelines of these things and say "I really don't have enough information to comment on that....."

In all these responses, you're one of the few who are not judgmental. Everyone has their sins, but would point at the sins of others. As you say, no one knows what really happened. I know someone who cheated on his wife. She had no idea, didn't suspect any women. He was fooling around with another man. Devastated, she divorced him and it was sad for their children. It's not always another woman. Then there are the wives who don't satisfy their husbands, refusing to give them sex for years, and the men can't deal with it and look elsewhere. Many men are pigs, but not all. Some may have their reasons for straying. Anyway, it's his ordeal to deal with it now.

Pravious, no mind-reading or bias is involved here. Adultery is a straightforward question of fact.

Is this guy having sexual relations with someone other than his wife? Yes. That's adultery, and that's not "being judgmental toward somebody," it's telling it like it is.

You don’t have to know Jesse.
You don’t have to know his relationship with his wife.

You don’t have to know the girl he hooked up with OR what their relationship is.
You don't have not know how often he's rutting (your own rather repellent choice of verb.)

Is he doing what he vowed before God and all --- or the magistrate and witnesses --- that he would not do? It's an objective, yes/no thing.
