Chelsea Cummins Should Have Used Some Of Her Martial Arts Skills To Keep Daddy Away

Daddy loves mommy…daddy leaves…daughter finds daddy many years later….daddy loves daughter…whoops, daddy now loves mommy again. This sordid little tale has the makings of a great TV movie.

Chelsea Cummins, now 21, is a top teen athlete from Britain represented the UK in taekwondo at the World Sports championships at Egypt and Korea.

The martial arts star decided to look up her long lost Father, Steven Broomhead, in her teens and they proceeded into an incestuous relationship over a two year period. During this time Miss Cummins aborted a baby after becoming pregnant not knowing if the father was Broomhead or her boyfriend.

It appears she became jealous over her father’s girlfriend and texted him… “You’re in for the biggest shock of your life.”

Chelsea decided to blow the whistle when her father rekindled his relationship with Miss Cummins’ mother and she caught them together.

Apparently she told police that she didn’t look on Broomhead as her father and had sexual feeling for him.

The judge laid the blame solely on Broomhead and sentenced him to three years’ supervision and he was told to attend a sex offenders program.

Q&A A True Friend Wouldn’t Ask

April 18th, 2007 by The Babe

Dear Cheryl: There’s a couple that my husband and I have been friends with for 15 years. We’re all very close. They’ve been having [tag]marital problems

for the last couple of years. Basically, they’re not having sex.

The wife has done everything she can to make her husband understand that this is having a negative effect on other aspects of their marriage, but he hasn’t done anything about it. She decided to have an affair.

I’ve tried to talk her into going to counseling, and she claims that she’ll go, but she hasn’t made an appointment yet. I even gave her the name and number of a wonderful social worker/family counselor who helped me many years ago when I was having trouble sorting out some life choices.

In the meantime, I have trouble understanding why she is after her husband to work on things while she’s having an affair. She says it’s something that she needs to do for herself, that she deserves to be happy. I told her that she can’t think clearly while she’s involved with another man. She disagrees and believes she is growing and moving in a new direction. I have come to realize that there is nothing more that I can do except try to be supportive when the walls come crashing down. Now here’s the problem:

My husband and I have been happily married for 12 years. We simply don’t keep secrets from each other. By confiding in me, my friend has put me in a terrible position. I can’t tell my husband because he would absolutely go to her husband and tell him, and I don’t think it’s our place to interfere to that degree. I have a heavy heart, keeping something from my husband while trying to be supportive of my friend. And I have to face her husband knowing what I know.

I told her I cannot discuss the other man with her, and she has respected that. I will continue to discuss her marriage issues with her and encourage her to seek therapy. True friends don’t run when the going gets tough.

However, how do I continue to carry this burden? So far, I’ve rationalized it by telling myself my husband would be crushed at this news and it would be something he really would not want to know. I’d do anything to prevent him from feeling the hurt I feel over this. I can’t turn my back on our friends, but I’m having a tough time coping. Any suggestions?

– What Are Friends For?

Dear What Are Friends For? Would a true friend put you in the position this woman has put you in? I don’t think so. You’re wrong, whatever you do.

  • (a) If you don’t tell your husband, then you’re keeping secrets from him and violating a basic principle of your marriage.
  • (b) If you tell your husband, then you’re asking him to keep secrets from his friend, which he won’t want to do.
  • (c) If you tell your husband and he tells his friend, then the two of you are up to your ears in someone else’s dirty laundry.
  • (d) If her husband finds out that you knew and didn’t tell him, he’ll resent you.
  • You have some hard work to do. First, you have to recognize the very sad truth that the happy relationship between the four of you is over.

    Then tell your husband that you don’t want to go out with them anymore. Tell him there are things going out that you don’t approve of and leave it at that. It was bad enough when you sat there knowing they weren’t having sex, but it’s impossible for you to play along when you know she’s cheating on him.

    Then, tell this woman that you can’t be her confidant any longer, that it’s too distressing. Whatever happens, whether she stays married or gets divorced, whether her husband finds out or not, the relationship the four of you had is over.

    Survey: Desperate Housewives Have Regrets About Husbands

    January 4th, 2007 by The Babe

    Jan 3 By Leela de Kretser

    So much for happily ever after. A new survey has found a shockingly large number of blissful brides turn into desperate wives.

    If given a chance to do things over, more than half of 3,000 married women polled by Woman’s Day magazine and AOL were not sure they would marry their husband again — with more than a third saying they would definitely not pick the same spouse.

    In the online survey, which was not scientific, more than three-quarters of women also said they fantasize about a man other than their husband — and 39 percent admitted to constantly flirting.

    Three-quarters of the women also admitted keeping secrets from their husbands — like the crushes they have on celebs. On the top of the fantasy list for women who like sexy married stars are actors Will Smith and Ben Affleck. They each received 31 percent of the vote.

    Not surprisingly, the survey found that wives are not the only ones whose thoughts and bodies stray to others.

    Nearly half the women said they suspected their husbands of cheating or caught them in the act.

    Ignorance, the women said, is not bliss — 84 percent said they would “absolutely” want to know if their spouse was being unfaithful.

    A lot of women apparently become bored in the bedroom. Nearly a third said they stick to the far side of the marital bed. Another third said they don’t have time for sex with their husbands.

    Just 10 percent of married women said they usually don sexy lingerie in bed. More than half prefer a ratty T-shirt or comfortable pajamas, while a third sleep naked.

    The biggest rows between married couples are caused by petty disputes, say 51 percent of the women. Money, with 27 percent of the vote, also was high on the list of reasons why husband and wife fight.

    The survey also found women spent time thinking about celebrity match-ups.

    The most unusual matchup had anchorwoman Katie Couric bedding one of the hottest eligible men in Hollywood, George Clooney.

    Nearly half of the women said they wanted the hunk to end up with Couric, while 31 percent thought New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg should pair up with the CBS anchor.

    Actress Jennifer Aniston should hook up with Matthew McConaughey, according to 47 percent of those surveyed.

    Jessica Simpson belongs with Hollywood hunk Josh Lucas, according to the poll.

    And the real-life desperate housewives in the poll felt “Desperate Housewives” star Teri Hatcher should get it on with John Stamos, of Uncle Jesse fame in the TV sitcom “Full House.”
