We love our schadenfreude and we love to kick a man when he’s (going?) down. Because it’s what we do. Because it’s what we’re expected to do. Right? So it’s no surprise Donny Deutsch is getting a lashing not only for recently losing his CNBC television show, The Big Idea, but also for fooling around with a married woman.
Deutsch, according to the New York Post, was reportedly caught on camera by a private investigator kissing Lisa Sandler, the wife of hedge-fund manager Andrew Sandler. After wondering whether or not his wife was stepping out on him, Andrew hired the private eye to see if there was anything to his wonderment. Seemingly there is, as the pictures are said to show Donny and Lisa kissing.
Last week, Andrew’s lawyer Stephen Gassman – on behalf of Andrew – filed for divorce in Nassau county with Deutsch named as a third party.
No one is talking other than Andrew’s lawyer who was quoted as saying, “I can’t comment. We’re trying to work this out amicably.”
After a four year marriage to Stacy Josloff which ended in 2005, Deutsch fathered a child, Daisy, with girlfriend Amanda Zacharia last year. The two have since split apparently leaving Deutsch free to kiss whomever he pleases. Though choosing to kiss a married woman might not have been the best choice.
Ah, the life and times of famous, rich ad guys.
