Denis Trierweiler's wife was doing the future president of France

In a previous post we already mentioned that the previous president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, was a cuckold. But let's talk about the new one, Francois Hollande. He cuckolded his then wife Segolene Royal, herself candidate for the French presidency at the time. The woman he was cheating with was Valérie Trierweiler. At the time she was alledgedly still married with Denis Trierweiler. Let's face it, if your wife is dicking the future prresident of your country, I believe you earn a 9 on the cuckold scale.

Gary Coleman's wife was handing out Diff’rent Strokes to another guy

In an article in Forbes entitled "Court Rules Against Gary Coleman's Ex, Finds She Abused And Cheated On Him", actor Gary Coleman, best known from Diff’rent Strokes, is depicted as a cuckold. You can read all the legal issues in the article. A judge ruled that ", based on the testimony of several witnesses, she physically abused Coleman in public, led him around by the hand like a child, displayed no physical affection towards him in front of anyone, and told others that they slept in separate rooms. The Judge also pointed to a 2010 restraining order that Coleman obtained against Price, locking her out of the house. All that was enough to do in Price’s case. Well, that, along with the fact that Price had an open, romantic relationship with another man during part of the time she claimed that she was actually married to Coleman." Gary's cuckoldry, confirmed by a judge is good for 8 points on the cuckold scale.

James Kennaway: the cuckold who came from the cold

The NY Daily News reminds us of some literary cuckoldry involving two writers: One famous, one now forgotten.
 The famous one is John le Carré, the preeminent spy novelist of our time, author of, among many other outstanding works of fiction, “The Spy who Came in from the Cold” and “The Little Drummer Girl.”
 The forgotten one is James Kennaway, the Scottish author who was one of the bright stars of the postwar Brit Lit firmament. He first came to prominence in 1956 with the publication of “Tunes of Glory,” a novel about the peacetime clash between two career soldiers at a Scottish Highland regimental barracks.
 In the mid-1960s, le Carré, whose literary career was just taking off, had an affair with Kennaway’s wife, Susan. Kennaway was something of a mentor to le Carré (whose fourth novel, “The Looking Glass War,” is dedicated to him), so the betrayal must have been particularly stinging. The article then continues with an overview of how the affair featured in novels by both men. Susan's swinging nature earns James a solid 7 on the cuckold scale.

John Le Mesurier was not measuring up for his wives

Joan Le Mesurier had been married for only six months to her actor husband, John, when she fell for his friend, Tony Hancock. The Telegraph reminds us that Hancock and Joan told John straight away and he, more or less, gave them his blessing. The affair lasted for two years, off and on, with Joan returning to John every time it was off. Then, when Hancock killed himself, aged 44, in 1968, Joan went back to John permanently and stayed married to him until his death, aged 71, in 1983. The BBC made a TV-show about her tempestuous affair with the comedian. And it's not the first time. Joan was his third wife, but his second wife, Hattie, had left him for a younger man. This part of his life was also dramatized. Hattie - played in an exceptional performance by Ruth Jones - took in her used-car salesman lover as a lodger, and maintained a secret affair by the cunning means of slipping upstairs during the middle of the night. The scene in which she was finally discovered by Le Mesurier (a perfectly cast Robert Bathurst) in bed with her lover was a vision of tragicomic poignancy. He apologised for intruding and explained with consummate resignation that he was looking for his book - a James Bond novel. Seldom has the distance between reality and fantasy been so economically or movingly captured. John earns an 8 on the cuckold scale for this double cuckolding.

Jason Hoppy's wife is hopping another man

Or at least that's what is alledged in Terra. In its Celebrity gossip section it says that "Seems like Bethenny Frankel couldn't resist trying a little liplocking with reality star, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. Rumors are swirling that the two had a hot-and-heavy encounter! It all began last October when a website reportedly posted the following "blind item": "Strangest hookup ever...This controversial female married A-list reality star spent a good five minutes making out with this second fiddle reality star who thinks he is way better than he is." Months later (April 21st to be exact) the website revealed the identities of these stars: Bethenny Frankel and Mike Sorrentino!"
Jason Cucky, eeuh excuse me, Hoppy, earns 7 on the cuckold scale for this.
