So, maybe now this is the end of the Jason Aldean/Brittany Kerr scandal? Nah. Probably not.

Brittany Kerr has issued an apology for getting up close and personal with married country singer Jason Aldean … chalking the whole thing up to a “lapse in judgment.”

The former “American Idol” contestant says, “The actions I portrayed recently were not a representation of my true character, but a lapse in judgment on my part.”

She adds, “I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone that has been affected by this, including my friends & family.”

At least Brittany didn’t insist that she did not know he was married, considering he was wearing his wedding ring and all.

    Could have been worse, this isn’t a sex tape, she will live. Tell the papparazzi to head over to Kristen Stewart’s house.

    Do we really need public apologies now?  Is this a thing?  Jesus, people.

    I would like to hear what Jason has sworn to his wife not to drink and keep your hands in your pockets. I, like most wife, it would be interesting what Brittany says. Maybe I am not a normal woman, I will not deny it.

    It just goes to show the society we live in these days, when people know your every move, then make a big deal about every move you make. Because of fear a scar in your public image is a blow to your music sales, damage control is in order, so people like you again, and help eases the “i’ll never buy so and so album again because he is a cheater”, or in Brittany’s case, esse the hate tweets. I think it’s pathetic as well, but I think it comes from public figures’ insecurity of what people think of them. There is no other reason to publicly apologize for anything that is your own personal business.

    Exactly.  I mean, if she wants to apologize to his wife privately, fine. That’s her business.  But slut-shaming her is not MY business.  It turns my stomach. 

    Really, does anyone believe most celebrity couples are faithful to each other?  There’s a lot of evidence that they aren’t.  And personally, I don’t care.  Shut up and sing, people :)

  • fuzzywuzzy

    Totally agree. I think that the “transgressions” that we learn about are a tiny fraction of the lapses in “judgment” that are almost routine in the life of a celebrity.

    I feel sorry for the wife.  She didn’t ask for the publicity.

    I despise those nosey photographers making a buck off people’s personal lives.  I know they wouldn’t get the pics if the people didn’t do the deeds but I wonder how they would feel if someone caught them in a personal moment and plastered it all over the place.  I have no sympathy for Jason or Kerr, but I cannot imagine being his wife and seeing those pics or his kids going to school and being teased about it.

    She should try out again for American Idol or X-Factor. Her sob story (being “cyberbullied” by Jason Aldean’s fans) is sadder than some that I’ve seen recently. lol

    It sucks for Jason Aldean’s wife to have her husband’s cheating all over the web but is it better for her not to know? Because if people saw him carrying on with other women, are they just supposed to somehow find his wife’s personal number/email (good look acquiring that) and tell her, “I saw your husband cheating but I don’t have any proof because I don’t believe in taking pictures of other people’s personal moments without their express permission, so you’ll have to take my word for it,” and expect her to believe that? Sure, the person didn’t take the pics out of the goodness of their hearts but because they saw a payday, but now his wife knows for sure what he gets up to on the road and I can’t see that as a totally bad thing. Having the pictures splashed everywhere can’t be fun but if she were to come out and blast whoever took them for being opportunistic, I would find that very strange and think she was misplacing the blame that should go to her husband for choosing to act the way he did.

    We don’t know that the wife didn’t know about any past adventures that might have happened. Some do, some don’t. 

    Aldean’s wife has lost the privacy to work out for herself how to handle any suspicions (or certainty) that she might have had. She now has to act on her knowledge, either by “standing by her man” or dumping him.

    Of all the people in this situation, it’s the innocent wife whose future actions are now most constrained. Aldean isn’t going to stop being a country music star and touring, and if he’s learned any lessons, we’ll never know if he stopped cheating or got more discreet about it because there’ll be no way to tell. Kerr is unlikely to do anything other than continue to be a cheerleader, pursue her media/modeling career, and be attractive in the bar scene (and I see no reason why she should change — she got stung, but her ordinary behavior isn’t unusual for attractive young women).

    Aldean’s wife is the one on the spot to have to change her life. Either she stays with the dude and shoulders the role of Scorned-Yet-Forgiving Wife-and-Mother, or she faces how to handle life as a single parent. I don’t think TMZ did her any favors.

    This has probably happened before.  Many wives can afford to ignore the unfaithfulness, but this is smack in her face.  If she has young children, she’ll probably “forgive” him.

    I think some marriages have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about cheating.  His wife could easily walk around with her head high that she has a good man, career on the rise, life is good.  He brings home a big paycheck, ocassionally makes the little girls’ dance recital.  Even if she suspected, not everyone knew.  Now, her hand is forced like Eline Woods or even men like Robert Pattinson.  Stay and make him buy her a new diamond ring, house on a hill, trip to exotic locale…  or walk away.  

    Its better to know in the long run because the truth almost always comes out.  Then the wife or husband feels like an even bigger fool once they put all the pieces together.

    “The actions I portrayed”? She can’t write.

    Perhaps 20 or even 10 years ago Jason would have gotten away with what he
    did with Brittany, but I’m not going to say, oh, the world was such a better place when stars could openly behave badly and the only celebrity news came PR-approved from Entertainment Tonight, People, Country Weekly, etc. Anyway, that’s not really true. There have always been more downmarket gossip outlets as long as there have been celebrities to talk about. The only new wrinkles are that everyone can be a paparazzo now, the TMZs of the world aren’t so easily bribed, and people can freely give their unfiltered opinions about stars and their misdeeds. Why act surprised that the “new” tabloid culture fails to be respectful of a celebrity’s family? The old tabloid culture wasn’t either. Stars have always had to worry about preying eyes, being caught not living up to the image they presented to the world, and letting down their families and fans if they were caught doing something wrong. It’s just that now there are more preying eyes than ever. Is it up to the tabloid/gossip outlets to have hearts (that’s likely) or for famous people to accept that they are always being watched and think about how it might affect their families if they got caught doing [whatever]?

    I’ve no idea. Perhaps my “disgusted” expression isn’t sufficiently distinct from what might be read as “surprised.”

    Is it up to the tabloid/gossip outlets to have hearts (that’s likely) or for famous people to accept that they are always being watched and think about how it might affect their families if they got caught doing [whatever]?

    Well, there’s always a third possibility: that it’s up to fans and members of the public to refuse to be tantalized and titillated by celebrities’ private lives. Destroy the market, and the product will tend to dissipate. I watch people on Twitter doing daily searches for hints about their favorite celebrities’ lives and trying to piece together clues to figure out people’s movements, all out of sincerely felt love and a desire for closeness… and I can’t help wondering if this behavior is genuinely felt as supportive by the celebrities affected.

    It also just doesn’t seem that interesting. If I want to see people getting drunk and acting stupid, Scottsdale and its bar scene are right here. I pay musicians to provide their unique take on music (which I presumably can’t get elsewhere), not to entertain me with antics that I can watch any yobbo with a BMV do any night of the week for the price of a pomegranate martini.

    Some people find it interesting to talk about what famous people (be it aristocrats, debutantes or reality stars) are up to on a personal level, and others don’t, but I think that’s always been the case and always will be.

    I’ve found with some Idol fans a particular thread of squeamishness about gossip and the concept of Idols not just as singers, but celebrities, whose romances and fashion and comings and goings and utterances to the paparazzi are routine entertainment news. It’s like the thought is that “celebrity” is cheap and unworthy of Idol stars and the focus should be squarely on their talent. But now I see it’s not just an attitude reserved for Idols, but that these fans are simply not into the whole personal life aspect of any celebrity, neither the good but especially not the bad stuff…to me, that’s just a completely foreign perspective to have about famous people. I love reading celebrity biographies and if they don’t get into a star’s personal life, what’s the point? I could just read an encyclopedia entry but even encyclopedias reference things like sex scandals.
