LOST 6.07 - Dr. Linus Promo Pics!
LOST fans have seen too much scandal. There have been the numerous DUI's, some of which have linked to the firing of actors from the show. There has been the allegation that Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Scotsman Desmond Hume on the show, sexually harassed a former crew member. But now, of course, the latest scandal has appeared, and this time the accusatory finger is pointing at actor Matthew Fox. Fox has been married to Margherita Ronchi, a former Italian model, for eighteen years. The two both have school-aged children.
Fox, who portrays main character Jack Shephard, has been accused of cheating on his wife with a stripper, a la Tiger Woods. That stripper is Stefani Talbott (pictured left), who alleged to having first met Fox last July while she was working at Stars Cabaret. "I was dancing onstage, and I made eye contact with him immediately. I got so excited," Talbott told In Touch Weekly.
Fox, 43, allegedly paid for four $20 dances from Talbott soon afterward, and the two began an affair. Apparently, he invited her to join him at a house where he was staying with friends. "We sat around and talked about his show. He complimented me and was saying how down-to-earth I am. He told me he was going to be in town for a couple of days," she recalls. "He didn't tell me to keep it a secret or anything. He didn't even use protection. He didn't seem concerned at all."Taxi driver Andi Watson is prepared to back up Talbott's claims, alleging that she drove the amorous duo to Talbott's townhouse one night, picking them up half an hour later. "[On the first ride] They kissed and touched each other in the cab," Watson said. On the way back from the townhouse, "they were more romantic than before, kissing a lot more and hugging each other."Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox was or wasn't guilty (representatives for him claim that he's not). Talbott, who claims to have saved incriminating voicemails and text messages from Fox in an attempt to blackmail him (the results of his unwillingness to crack likely being seen now), seems to me to be cashing in on the success of LOST's sixth season.
The scandal probably won't be as widely publicized as that, say, of Tiger Woods, and that's good. I just hope it's not going to be prolonged or as ugly.
Are television actors ever held to the same standard as sports super-stars? When was the last time Charlie Sheen was paid to endorse Wheaties? What sorts of endorsements is Matthew Fox going to lose as a result of his behavior? Would Matthew Fox lose any money at all if he were photographed smoking pot, a la Michael Phelps? It seems strange that when a person blackmails someone else, it's the person with money who is seen as being the scandalous one. BTW, the word "incriminating" often means that the evidence shows that the person incriminated committed a crime, hence the letters "crim" in the middle. Although, it may seem more natural to use that word, because if Matthew Fox hadn't committed a crime, how is this news-worthy?
I think you're looking a little too much at semantics.
If Matthew Fox were going to have an affair would he really carry on with a stripper in the city where he's about to move his wife and children to? The city where his children, who by the way are nowhere near being grown (ages 12 and 8), have to go to school? It's not like the man doesn't have opportunities to cheat in other cities, cities that he doesn't plan on calling home in a few months. I think it's total bull. She sounds like a skanky piece of white trash looking to cash in and not caring who she hurts in the process. Can't wait until she has to co-exist in the same city with Matthew's wife. She doesn't look like someone I'd want to cross. They don't call them firey Italian's for nothing.
Well if the taxi driver is involved, I'm guessing he'll have video surveillance of their escapade no? How long do those videos feeds usually last for…
[...] Woods, and that's good. I just hope it's not going to be prolonged or as ugly. Read more here: http://www.tvovermind.com/lost/is-ma…er-woods/19382 __________________ Last edited by Montecito; Today at 02:09 [...]
This is definitely true. Perez Hilton had pictures of him with this same chick in a hotel room in Maupin, last summer. That's right down the road from Bend. Doesn't look like he cares about playing nice in his new hometown.Check out the pictures from August: http://perezhilton.com/2009-08-12-wheres-your-w…..Looks like the same girl. There have been rumors about Fox forever. He's not that nice of a guy.
Lots and lots of actors have arrangements with their spouses. The ones that stay married that long usually do. People act like such Pollyanas when in fact this seems pretty clear cut. That skank tried to blackmail him and he wouldn't shell out the cash because she has no evidence or she would have published it by now after she was paid by the scandal rags. She got some money from the trashy mags, he's going to be more careful in his open marriage. Lost is the best fucking show ever and he'll be on it until the very end.
It's true ! I live here in Bend, Oregon! I know another girl who slept with him. She is pretty cool, down to earth and she told me everything in detail. He apprently doesn't care. Oh well. I met him on 3 different occasions. He has slept with more than one girl from Stars Cabaret in Bend Oregon. I saw him there too. I have friends who manage the place and bartend there. He's a pretty nice guy but who knows about his marriage and stuff. Like I said he apparently doesn't care.
You're attempt to act like you have inside information is pretty amusing. Try a little harder next time, and if you really want to start gossip like that, work for the bullsh*t tabloids.
The so called "pictures" are nothing more than Fox getting drunk, and they don't tell you who actually took the photos… get a life and stop trying to stir $HIT up
Any man who cheats on his wife is a jerk. I've read about open marriages, I've HEARD about them, but I've never personally known of one. I strongly doubt his wife, or any wife, would agree to such a thing outside of a trashy novel. If she did, I doubt it would be for long as having such an arrangement is eventually going to lead to a divorce.I believe the trashy whore is probably telling the truth. So what, that makes them both moralless sleezes. Frankly, my opinion of this actor has fallen and I'm disappointed. However, he is JUST an actor…so who cares. I'm glad he told the stripper to blow off. I'll still watch the last season of Lost.
I don't attempt. And sounds like you have his back. Well only an idiot would do such a stupid thing in a small town and not get caught. You don't have any information at all! He did cheat, I just have morals not to come forward with all the names in exchange for $$$ because he does have kids who go to school here with other friends of mine-children.
The creepiest thing about Matthew Fox are the fans who defend him. Nothing wrong with a married man getting blotto with a young chick on a bed. Sure. The point is the pictures lend credence to the charges. I'm not sure why anyone doubts this. Isn't his reputation well known? There is nothing to like about this man as a human being. If you like his acting fine, but as a person he sucks.
If i was the wife of Fox, i wouldn't be so suprised… after all those kisses he does in the movies… than it's not a big deal at all.
I'll never understand why people care so much about strangers personal lives. You don't really know these actors, the majority of time you see them is when they are acting.
hehe youre funny!
I think it would teach him a lesson if the girls would come forward. He's an idiot! I will feel sorry for his kids when they play with other kids and their parents know someone who know someone who fucked him.This isn't L.A. , everyone in this town knows everyones business. In this town everyone knows what you have for breakfast, what kind of shampoo you use for God sake. He shouldn't come to a town – knowing he's going to get a lot of attention and then do something like this to bring more unwanted attention to himself and family. For all I am concerned like I posted- apparently he doesn't care.!
I don't really care what happens in his life. I just want to watch Lost.
Is this a lost theory? Just give a LOST fan the ball and they run with it. The only thing people like more then a hero, is to watch them fall. You can edit anyones life down and make them GOD or the DEVIL. Get a grip, just be happy with your own life and let others have a chance to have the same.
If Matthew Fox really was the next Tiger Woods, he'd be better at hiding it. Making out with a stripper in the backseat of a cab? C'mon…..I smell something fishy here, and it's not Joe's Crab Shack.
wow leave foxy the f*** alone. who honestly cares? he's a straight boss and can do whatever the hell he wants. "He didn't even use protection." Atta kid foxy!!!!!!! That girls a f****** bitch for going public with this. Girls are such whores
Jack, come on! Juliet, Kate, Gabriela, Sarah, Achara, and now this?! xDseriously. he´s human. let him be.
She drove them around a lot. And a year ago he had another girl he was having sex with. The taxi drivers are pretty cool in this town.
I agree tomtom.When Matthew Fox moved here to Bend..we were all excited and thought very highly of him. Who wouldn't? We didn't know him except for t.v. and we thought how cool to have a celebrity to move into our town.Well fuck that now! Because this town is awesome, friendly, family oriented, snowboarders, skiiers, dog friendly…brew pubs, coffee shops…great restaurants, river trails, lakes….and he moves here then fucks strippers (which i don't have a problem with them) and then he denies it.A friend of mine fucked him. So if he thinks he's better than everyone else in this town…whatever! Because this town doesn't need the negative attention. I don't like him as a person to do that….he was already a celebrity. But to bring on attention to himself by having mulitiple affairs…come on man! He's an idiot.If you get a duii in this town everyone knows, if you drink to much everyone knows, people know what shampoo you freakin use. Everyone and their mother knows each other in this town. So being a celebrity is 10 times the attention. He's either needing atttention….doesn't care, maybe he has an arrangement,….I know it's none of our business-but when you start lying- I think that's where people get personally involved becausse don't lie about it. Just be honest! If people were honest, I wouldn't care what they do in their personal lives. A lot of people take offense to lying. Because it's being fake and not real.He's an idiot.
Why is this our business? Why should we care about this in the great scheme of things?
I like what most of you said, I think Jack in the Flash Sideways has definitely turned a new leaf. He has a kid and even opens up to him about being involved in his life. Even if MTL Jack is an ass and cheats on his wife, at least there is hope for Flash Sideways Jack when the two timelines converge…
[...] Jack does in fact have a bastard son, aside from this echoing the actor-portraying-him’s proclivity for getting down, this could also explain the alternate last name of “Wallace” (David’s Mother?). So far, our [...]
If he was sleeping with her last July, how could I have met him IN SCOTLAND?
I find it hard to believe this story because of factual inaccuracies. Foxes children are 12 & 9, not grown. If you can't fact check something that simple, how can any of the article or your sources be considered the least bit reliable? I feel sorry for the kids of celebrities that have to hear this unsubstantiated "news".
if sum stupid dirty little slut gets lost cancelled just because she wants the spotlite then i foresee a murder… in reference 2 both henry ianz and matt foxes predicament u know its just sum old 26-30yr old bitch thatt burnt out her pussy at 19 yrs old from over use… and now wants 2 be 1 of those pethetic individualz that get a "celeb status" 4 being a homewrecker …. fukn sluts get a job ( and not on the set of lost )
Who cares?
its also poorly written
…as if all girls are whores.Get your facts right before saying such a thing. Blatant generalization and chauvinism.
Lol, "he didn't even user protection"! How dumb can you get? I'm not calling all women whores, but I'm definitely calling this a dumb one.
So this chick claims she was star struck by Matthew Fox and then she charged him for lap dances. Hard to buy into that, I've had many free lap dances at high end strip clubs and I'm not famous. To me that part of the story hurts her credability. But either way I could care less if Fox is doing this on the side.
I live in Bend as well. I simply find it humorous that he'd go to Stars… sleazy….
Who cares. GET LIVES. Not our business.
I didn't know Fox and his wife had grown kids together. I've only seen them together with two school age children.Who cares who screws who?Out society is bunch of puritanical nutjobs if you ask me.
Sloppy reporting. One of his kids is 9, the other is 12 —- I would hardly call them "grown"
Blackmail is a crime, why hasn't she been arrested?
He still has quite a few strippers to go if he wants to get into Tiger Woods territory.Oh, one of the most poorly written articles I've ever read. Peace out.
Is Matthew Fox the next Tiger Woods?Nope. Because he isn't a black/Asian guy so people don't have to pretend to get on their high horse.
WHO CARES
you people are VULTURES
I'm sorry but Strippers and Taxi Drivers aren't exactly the most credible people in the world. They probably just made it up to get famous…but even if they didn't, who cares? If you don't know Matthew Fox personally, or unless you're one of those crazy people who can't separate television actors from their characters, it shouldn't enter your consciousness.
most of them are
your pretty amusing…big ups to Matt for puttin the wood to all them bitches
Then you either [unfortunately] haven't met many good girls or you just haven't met many girls in the first place. Just because you haven't met many good girls, it doesn't mean they are few or they don't exist. I really hope that someday you might meet those good girls I'm talking about, girls who really care for their friends, offer a helping hand when someone is in need and have good moral values. But until you meet them, please do try to think differently of women, because with that frame of mind you will repel them and really won't find any good ones at all.If you try to treat women like whores, how do you expect women to treat you?Food for thought.
THIS IS ABOUT REAL LIFE, RTSLADEK, NOT LOST! WOW YOU'RE DUMB.
I would, without a doubt have slept with the stripper and probably with my luck, knocked her up then not pay child support and file for full custody of the child. because its cheaper than paying child support and ask her to pay child support to me… the only difference is that nobody would care what I do. So, I would have done something worse than M. Fox, who by the way is awsome, and nobody would care. Why not leave the guy alone and let him live his life the way he wants.
Wow guest, that was a joke. The only reason people care about Matthew Fox's extracurricular activities is because he's on Lost. ChillaxAnd let's not resort to name calling.
WOW you must've been manhandled on more than one occasion to actually try to school not one but two people that you have never met in your life and you definately dont have a life and probably never had a dick or you would understand the power of it you stupid cunt….You treat the whores like the whores that they are and most of them LOVE it…the ones that dont are reserved for marriage a.k.a. bringing home to mommy and daddy….so shut your virgin ass up and go find a stiff one and your view of the world might actually change..
…..says someone who does not know me and who has a narrow view of people.You just showed me how disrespectful you are, calling me names. :) Such ignorance :)Congrats, my friend.
lol chill lolllbut ur rite i thinki have many cool chick friends lol
Oh yeah, one more thing ALL CAPS guest, I would beg to differ that this is definitely not real life, or at least it shouldn't be. LOL You don't know Matthew Fox in any sense of the word, and its safe to say no posters on this thread do (except for maybe Bendor, he at least can claim proximity to Matt Fox). I'm definitely not defending the dude, I just find it absurd that anyone would care so much to post anything on this thread other than pure sarcasm. He's just a guy who plays a guy on a TV show. How about you invest in a real human being you actually know instead of worrying about who celebrities bang; i.e. "REAL LIFE"
Matthew Fox is the bomb. Lost is the best. Drew Martell watching Lost = win.
THIS IS A LIE BECAUSE A WOMAN CLAIMS TO BE A TAXI DRIVER AND WOMEN CAN'T DRIVE.
Personally couldn't really care less if the story is true or not. It's his acting I'm interested in, not his private life. So long as he continues to give the top notch performances – that I've come to expect is pretty much a given from him – up till when Lost finishes then for one I'm happy!
I find it ironic that one would take the time to read this article and post a comment insulting hundreds of thousands of people, based solely on their profession, presumably in defense of the actor, and then imply that others are crazy if they let this issue enter their consciousness.
Fox is such a babe. I just wanted to put that out there, but yeah, I don't care about this. Just like I didn't care about Tiger Woods. I'll reiterate what other people are saying, which is, who cares about these peoples personal lives?
Who cares?
I'm tella ya, we're not meant to be monogamous! Lets embrace our poly-sexuality.
women ARE whores….when is the last time some guy got laid by a star and then tryed to make a buck off of it….um none cuz it dont happen
Who cares? His character on Lost is great and I wouldn't mind if he slept with the entire cast (maybe that's Jack is so important to Jacob?).
screw you liar
I know ! Why the fuck would he go to Stars? You can agree that Bend is a small town. And to be honest? Who cares what he does in his personal life…but he brought this on himself. People who don't know facts like to use the word whores…..well that's such an ignorant and lazy statement. Matthew Fox- you know you fucked those girls! They know you fucked them too. People need to realized it's true.
If all women are whores! that makes your mother,grandmother,aunt's,and any other women in your family all whores.Is that not what you said? Will they lay anyone?you said it !!The tongue is mightier than the sword,watch who you cut!!
Why does Lostpedia.com continue to link to these sort of webpages, the ones that pretend to be real news organizations?Sam McPherson is a 12 year old kid; you can see the picture of him. He needs to ask mommy and daddy before using the internet next time before doing this again.This webpage proves that anyone with internet access can post anything they want.Whay am I even giving this webpage any attention.
