On Friday, Jaybird talked about a report from the National Enquirer about David Letterman’s wife allegedly kicking him out. According to a source to the Enquirer, “Dave admitted he’s sleeping in the city after Regina let him have it. He took a few days off from the show so they could try to work things out…But if anything, he may have made the situation worse. Regina demanded that he tell the complete truth about what he did with the women, but Dave hemmed and hawed. Now he’s moved out of the house.”
Well, that might have been crap. Letterman’s spokesman is saying now that the Enquirer’s report is “wrong”. Which it very well may be, and it wouldn’t be the first time. The Enquirer gets a lot of stuff right, but an equal amount of stuff wrong, and they’ve been doing some really exploitative coverage of the Letterman scandal.
TV funnyman David Letterman on Sunday denied a supermarket tabloid report claiming his wife booted him from their Westchester mansion over his sex scandal.
Letterman’s spokesman Tom Keaney blasted the National Enquirer report as bogus.
“The National Enquirer has it wrong,” Keaney told the Daily News.
The Enquirer, quoting an unnamed source at the CBS “Late Show,” claimed Letterman, 62, moved out of the couple’s North Salem home and into his luxury loft in lower Manhattan.
The Enquirer said Letterman’s wife, Regina, 49, asked him to leave after he balked at telling her the complete truth about the female staffers he bedded.
“I don’t know anything about that,” Letterman’s mother, Dorothy Mengering, said.

Here’s a question – why is Letterman’s spokesperson even bothering to confirm or deny a report from the Enquirer? They’ve been running negative, tawdry pieces (like the story about Dave’s “sex tapes”) about Letterman for weeks now, so why all of a sudden deny this report? Is it because it hit a little too close to home? I’ll tell you something – if I was Regina, I think I would kicked him out, at least temporarily. There comes a point where it’s not about maturity or talking about your issues or any of that stuff. That point is where you just don’t want to see the guy’s face, because if you do, you know you’ll be prone to violence. My guess is that Regina caught herself lookingly longingly at the steak knives, and told David that he should stay somewhere else for a few weeks while she calmed down.

Is it me, or is he looking kind of senile lately?
Sure, restated, he left so that he could collect his thoughts and be able to sleep with his eyes shut, LOL!
Ouch! I forgot about Letterman’s mom – that can’t be kosher with her, but then again the biggest part of why assholes eff around is the adrennaline rush of not getting caught. I don’t know if they even have the emotionaly capability to consider who might not only get HURT but who will get flushed down the toilet with them when the asshole gets caught. A few servings of public humiliation for everyone who’s ever been good to ’em? Yeah, that’s a “thanks for being in my life.” lol
Poor Letterman’s mom!
I’m sure that their Connecticut manion is plenty big enough for them to both be there and her to still be able to avoid him well enough.
Just FYI, Westchester is a county in New York just north of New York City, with one of the highest per-capital incomes in the world.
They probably responded to the allegation that he had moved out because splitting is a major and very serious move.
It would be infinitely more interesting if we found out they were still living together but taped off areas of the house that the other couldn’t go into, a la “War of the Roses.”
Of course, I don’t wish hanging on the chandeliers while they kill each other on Dave and Regina.
I know the Enquirer reported that their house is in Westchester County, NY, but I always thought his house was in Connecticut. Back in the day when he had that stalker, wasn’t it in CT?
Either way, I’m with Erin. The place has to be big enough they can both be there and not have to deal with each other if they don’t want to. They are no doubt working on some issues, but I find it dubious that she kicked him out.
HAHAHAHAHA
The last sentence KILLED me Kaiser. You are so right.
