Twitter Chronicles: Jim Carrey Thinks Elin Knew What Tiger Was Up to All Along
Jim Carrey was bored yesterday and decided he would use Twitter to weigh in on Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren‘s marital issues. Unlike the majority of humanity, Carrey is on Team Tiger. Carrying the flag for this band of scrappy misfits, Carrey proclaimed, “No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle.” I don’t know what sort of thought process Jim went through in formulating this opinion, but he seems to have left out one important fact: Elin’s violent meltdown last Thanksgiving, which left Tiger’s car, face and reputation wrecked (none beyond repair). A wife who knows all along doesn’t suddenly go nuts with rage and attack the cheating husband. A wife who knew nothing, then found out in a very nasty way, like having it show up in the National Enquirer? She’s the one who picks up the golf club, and not because she’s planning to get in a quick nine before sun-up. In my mind, all the evidence points to Elin having been in the dark all along. It’s too easy to just dismiss Elin as a trophy wife who got the goods and now has no reason to complain. Frankly, it smacks of chauvinism. And it makes us wonder what really went on between Carrey and his own now-ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy. It makes us wonder what bad behavior Carrey is trying to make himself feel less guilty about. Come on Jim, use Twitter for something a little more interesting than taking pot-shots. Fess up, funny man.
