actually a horrible person?

[Nebulous]

Who is someone that we praise but was actually a horrible person?

 

[Jazzy]

Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel) was having an affair with a woman. His wife (Helen) killed herself because of it.

Helen committed suicide in 1967 with an overdose (O.D) of barbiturates, after a series of illnesses (including cancer) spanning 13 years. Helen was also despondent over her husband's burgeoning relationship with Audrey Stone Dimond. Feeling unable to live without him, Helen wrote in her suicide note:

"Dear Ted, What has happened to us? I don't know. I feel myself in a spiral, going down down down, into a black hole from which there is no escape, no brightness. And loud in my ears from every side I hear, 'failure, failure, failure...' I love you so much ... I am too old and enmeshed in everything you do and are, that I cannot conceive of life without you ... My going will leave quite a rumor but you can say I was overworked and overwrought. Your reputation with your friends and fans will not be harmed ... Sometimes think of the fun we had all thru the years ...

You can't impose yourself to love someone. Maybe he just stopped loving her and was too scared to tell her and ask for a divorce.

Jackie Chan.

He's a real ass hole. Yeah, people like him in movies, but I sure can't stand him as a person. Good actor, shitty father.

Lets see, why I don't like him....well he disowned his own daughter,  Etta Ng Chok Lam, because he didn't want to raise her nor have anything to do with her and that is sad. He refuses to support his son or give him any inheritance when he passes. I think if you're a parent, you'd want your kids to have anything.

But not everyone shares the same views.

The affair between Jackie Chan (成龍) and his former lover, Elaine Ng (吳綺莉) resulted in the birth of his illegitimate daughter, Etta, in 1999. Over the years, Jackie did not spend any quality time with Etta as a father. He also decided that he will not leave any money to his daughter in his will.

Not even a Penny for Daughter!

In a recent interview, Jackie spoke about his extra-martial affair with Elaine and their illegitimate daughter for the first time. He revealed that he had asked his wife, Joan Lin (林鳳嬌), for a divorce after the affair was exposed in 1999. Surprisingly, Joan did not even scold him but empathized with his situation instead, advising him to handle the situation immediately. Feeling guilty and remorseful, Jackie decided to change his will to split his estates between his charity foundation with Joan.

Jackie revealed that he will not leave even a penny out of his $2.2 billion worth of assets to his illegitimate daughter, Etta, in his will. Jackie said, “There is really no point in admitting that Etta is my daughter now!”

No Huge Settlement!

However, Elaine Ng was not affected by Jackie’s remarks and appeared to be calm when the reporter approached her for comments outside her daughter’s school. She even hinted that Jackie had never given her a large sum of money for settlement after breaking up.
When asked about Jackie’s comments in the magazine interview, Elaine said she did not read the recent article. As for Jackie’s previous denial that Etta is his daughter and his recent refusal to leave any money for her, Elaine replied, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s already in the past.” She also felt that there is no sense talking about Jackie’s intention of divorcing his wife and insisted that everyone should move on.

Elaine said that she had no recent contact with Jackie, and she handles everything concerning her daughter. As for whether her daughter has any desire to meet her father, Elaine said that she and her daughter have adamantly agreed not to talk about the past. Etta had never questioned her about Jackie, but knew of their dating relationship.

Earlier reports suggested that Elaine had received a large settlement from Jackie after their breakup. Once again, Elaine stressed that these reports were absolutely false.

In addition, Elaine lost her job at a Hong Kong radio station recently, but she said the dismissal has not impacted her financial situation yet. She said, “I have a stable income. I have already put the down payments for my house so my the monthly payments are not that harsh.”

Depends what the kids did.

Actually my nan is a complete **** I wont even speak to her.  "I think if you're a parent, you'd want your kids to have anything. "  not everyone thinks that way apparently. My mums done nothing but help her mum in every way possible. But she will be getting 0 inheritance, its all going to charity. My nan has disowned her children, and grandchildren for no ****ing reason.

Myabe Chan's kids did something to make him do that, or maybe he is just a ****ing **** like my nan.
