They both rely on what stories they can sell to keep themselves in the manner to which they have become accustomed to. Although Pete seems to have come out of it better than she has. I did read one of her early books and she came across as so defensive and unconfident about herself that I am not surprised she has continued to act in this manner today. She has to be admired to some extent for making a career out of her lifestyle and nothing else, but I hate the way everything is so stage managed. I always suspected that they sold 'bad' stories to the media, so that they would then be in a position to make more money by refuting the same stories in the press. After all if the interest in them dies down, then how are they going to continue to make money? This is why I suspect that the split could still be fake, selling the divorce story is going to make millions, the new lovers/partners that they have relationships with, will sell loads and then when/if they get back together in a year or so, another wedding to plan for lots of lovely money! Or perhaps I am just being much too cynical..........!
