David Arquette took some flak yesterday for his extremely candid interview with Howard Stern, and he’s taken to Twitter to apologize. “I went on Howard Stern yesterday to provide clarity and honesty about what I’m experiencing,” he wrote, “but while doing that I shared too much….it’s alright for me to be honest about my own feelings but in retrospect some of the information I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled.” Sadface for you, David Arquette. I’m so torn between loving juicy, horribly too-private details, and having a shred of dignity and human decency. It’s tough!
Admit it, PopWatchers: There’s a part of you that takes celebrity divorces a little bit personally, right?

David Arquette talks to Howard Stern about Courteney Cox, sleeping with another woman
Courteney Cox and David Arquette separate
Part of the problem was, publications like EW paraphrasing a interview in two sentences. Most people assumed he cheated on his wife from your original article when in fact they were already separated when he had relations with another woman.
I agree, baba booey. After I read the EW article I thought “what a jerk.” But after listening to the interview I heard an emotional, heartbroken man who has a wife that he adores who fell out of love with him. If I’m correct, she gave her blessing for him to seek affection elsewhere since she wasn’t giving it to him. Anyway, sorry to hear this relationship is coming to an end but I agree that it is probably for the best.
The media did completely misconstrue it all…but he was way out of his league anyway. He sounds like he has the IQ of a moron.
Okay, sorry. He was a jerk before they married, and he is still a jerk after the relationship is over.
Yes, I had a different perspective after actually hearing the interview, but the guy has no class. He did the interview for himself and said things that were out of line, even if he was saying them with genuine emotion.
Now he needs to shut up and face this like an adult and not let this divorce turn into the craze fest that was Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger. He needs to think about how his words will affect Coco (his daughter) before he starts ‘sharing’ again.
When will people just learn to keep their mouths shut in the first place?? A lot easier than spouting off, then apologizing later. A lot classier, too.
YESSS!! I cosign this A MILLION TIMES!! Happens everyday and people love to hate anything more if it’s related to Howard Stern! If these people ACTUALLY LISTENED, they’d realize how waaaay off base they are with their assumptions!! Howard Stern is the most honest and kindes person you can imagine. Just sucks people only base their bias’ on his TINY fraction of show where he has pornstars on. Quit being soo ignorant!
I feel your pain, Tony. These are the lumps we take for being Stern fans. Defending Stern to non-listeners is always an uphill battle.
I think you mean kindest, not kindes. Stern may be honest, but he is not kind. He is often racist, sexist, and cruel. And no, Robin doesn’t make the racism and sexism okay. She’s as bad as he is.
David talked honestly on Howard Stern, didn’t say a single bad thing, etc. The media took certain clips etc and twisted it around to make him look like an idiot. It’s no wonder celebs always issue press releases compared to talking about it on a show.
o
He’s for real. I really sense that. I feel bad for the guy. I prayed for him-you bloggers should too. <3
They are still married…. it is cheating
I did the same thing. From EW’s first article, I thought he was an egomaniac, a cheat, and a loser. Once I actually googled the interview myself, I saw that he wasn’t being an ass at all. Shame on EW.
He sounded way drunk on the interview. Poor guy. 11 YEARS OF MARRIAGE
YEah he might have been seperated from his wife when he was with the other woman….does that justify him spilling the secrets about his sex life between himself and his wife? That was just plain wrong!
If he gave the interview on oprah it would have been refreshing and open but since it was on Howard stern it’s a problem and he too revealing.
It’s just WRONG either way. The man has no class and no integrity.
Damn right, Baba booey. Good luck on all your book signings lol!
Heck no! If he said the same thing on Oprah I’d think he’s a jerk too! I don’t care WHO he says it to! I care about WHAT he says. That is just not appropriate at all.
Retards, Jenny McCarthy spilled her beans on her relationship with Jim Carrey on Oprah, FAR worse than David. All David said was he and his wife hadn’t had sex for 4 months. Listen to the friggen interview before commenting on it. He didn’t reveal anything about his sex life other than that. Geeeesh….
You lost me at your first word…you’re a Stern fan, right?
TMI. Nothing sadder than a person who doesn’t know it’s time to grow up. He keeps this up and he’ll be hanging with Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber would never do anything that stupid. That’s why he’s 16 and making more money than people two and three times his age ever will, including you, I’m guessing. I’m no Bieber fan, but he is clever.
We get mad when people hide behind publicists and we get mad when they’re open and honest. No win situation. But his comments helped me to examine my marriage and relationship with my wife.
No, we don’t get mad when separating and divorcing people hide behind a publicist. We think it’s appropriate. He was inappropriate on every level.
Couples negotiate all kinds of things between themselves. We have no idea what kind of agreements these two made in terms of announcing their split.
What a dingus.
EW, please don’t make me not like you. I come to this website looking for what’s new with movies, TV and music, not the personal lives of the actors or musicians. Please don’t turn into US Weekly or some other gossip trash magazine I beg you.
If he would have said the same things on Oprah he would be America’s sweetheart right now. Media bias against the King of all Media!!!!! Stern & David are friends and it was a heartfelt conversation with quotes taken out of context.
No he wouldn’t…maybe if he’d gone on Oprah in a year or two, but it’s the timing and the intimacy of the comments that are really at issue, NOT who he said them to. Jenny McCarthy was being just as un-classy, too, when she spilled on Oprah.
No Gary, because he is a man. Therefore at fault. If a woman talks to the cameras about how she has been neglected and her husband grew out of the relationship, she is lauded for her honesty. If a man does it he is an inappropriate whiner who should keep his mouth shut.
Win, lose or draw..this situation is a real tragedy. These two people at some point did really love one another. And maybe if there is noone else in the picture, there’s still hope. But more often than not, someone else is lurking in the background. I’d say Ms. Cox has got her hand in the cookie jar!
A celebrity relationship ending is a tragedy? I know this is an entertainment website…but come on.
@davidarquette: That should read “Courteney and I” and not “Courteney and myself.”
courteney seperates from david so she can date her co star. after four months he hooks up with a star jumper who likes attention. david is made to be a cheater and goes on stern to clear it up and he’s the bad guy. people are nuts.
This guy is an idiot and she’s no prize either, especially with that stupid show she has on ABC now, which will get CXLed any day now.
Baloney. It’s a great show. Have you watched it? Laught out loud funny.
Yes, he is sorry. Just not the kind of sorry he meant. These two have apparently agreed to split, but it’s just trashy to go on a show and spill intimate details of your life together. Especially when you have a child. Ick.
The overuse of the word “myself” needs to be addressed. It has exploded in recent years, most noticeably on reality TV. “Courtney and I,” David. People use “myself” when they’re too stupid to know when to use “I” and when to use “me.”
Maybe the damage has already been done. David Arquette talking about his personal life and separation from Courtney Cox was a bit too much. Some of the things he said was way too intimate and personal for radio even if they want to keep the content clean. Even Howard Stern sounded like saying–Are you really going to talk about your separation on the radio?–in some parts.
