Sara Evans Won't Spill the Beans on "Dancing"

Sara Evans divorce dramaIf you want the dish from Sara Evans on why she's bailing from her marriage and "Dancing With the Stars," prepare to be very frustrated.

A source directly connected with Evans and her divorce case tells TMZ that the country star will indeed appear for approximately six minutes on tonight's show, but her statement regarding her marriage is "very vanilla."

Evans filed for divorce last week claiming her husband cheated on her-- but that's just the beginning. Evans claims her husband has photographs of himself having sex with other women and has at least 100 nude photos of himself in a state of arousal. Craig Schelske, Evan's husband, denies the allegations.

TMZ is told Evans will not talk about the allegation on tonight's "Dancing with the Stars." Indeed, Evans will not even reference her husband. The statement she will make centers around doing what's best for her three children.

62.
She is doing what's right for herself and her family. There are young kids in the middle of this and they aren't celebrities, their mother is. Sara is doing a good thing by taking a step back and focusing on her kids. Their whole world is getting turned upside down, they would rather have their mother home and with them, than watching her dance on TV. Her husband's behavior is just wrong. You don't put sexually suggestive material anywhere in your home that your children will have access to, plain and simple. Back up off of Sara and let her take care of her kids.

63. It is unlikely that Sara will be awarded sole custody of the children. Even parents who are in prison are given visitation rights, and as far as I have heard, the husband hasn't done anything that will put him in prison. Yes, she has a right to divorce her husband (for any reason she choses, without justifying it to the world). However, she is hurting her children by making these allegations public. She may hate her husband, but she will need to be able to co-parent with him.

Unfortunately, Sara is not the first person to ever been cheated on and sadly she will not be the last. However, she can keep her dignity, and move on.

Many people responding are reacting as if they have been personally affected by Sara's husband. Just try to keep in mind, these are Sara's allegations and the public has not heard his side of the story. The divorce should be a private matter.

And even if he is a cheater--he still has a role in raising their children.

64. I think it is sad and the more the press blows on it, just won't make it go away, however, For the kids sake and for each other I think they should all see counselors for this and hopefully in time they will all get through this and be able to put this in their past. I Will pray for the whole family.

65. Adultery is grounds for divorce in MY book. I won't "stand by my man" if he's out screwing around. Notice I said "If." Also, watching porn with kids roaming the house is not at all cool; pretty sick actually, if it happened as is claimed. Sounds like she tried to stick it out with him for a long time, and, as has been said, if Tennessee is a 'fault' state, she has to cite reasons for petiitoning for divorce. Maybe she waited so long because she was trying to avoid the whole drama, hoping it would get better, until she just couldn't stand it anymore.

66. What the hell is wrong with all you people with making all of these horrible comments about Sara.
If she want's to make it public that is her problem not yours.
And who said it's ok for a man to have sex outside of his marrage. I know it was some ignorate a--h--- that posted that message.

67. I can't believe people having sympathy for this woman.This little ole country girl image doesen't fool me for a minute.Evans is a savvy,smart businesswoman who tries to come across as an innocent hick from the sticks.Obviously she wants to humiliate her husband all over the media and could care less about the consequences.Of course there is no such thing as bad publicity,and she is going to come out of this smelling like a rose.As for you people who care about this pathetic story......GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!

68. There is nothing normal about cheating on a spouse. Thou shall not commit adultery is also in the Bible.

69. Who would have thought that Jerry Springer would exhibit the most traditional values on Dancing with the Stars? He just wants to do the waltz at his daughter's wedding---and Sara is acting like a guest on his tv show!

70. I LOVE SARA EVANS FOR STANDING UP FOR HER CHILDREN AND PUTTING HER BABIES FIRST. ANY GOOD MOTHER WOULD DO THAT

71. If any of you noticed, the papers were FILED in CA, but were written as the laws of TENNESSEE require for a divorce. In CA, we don't have to go for the body blows for a divorce, just the good ol' irrecon...... But, sorry Dixie, the rules in the South are still for the time when CA was the WILD WEST. Notice that at the end of her petition, it says something about "We PRAY you grant the petition..." And even if she didn't have to, it sure sounds like he's the guy who stays at home (w/no job)watching the nanny, calling himself a "stay at home dad" while his wife works her ASS off to support him in the way to which he's grown accustomed (HAD one of those....BOOTED his ass too!). He sounds like a WEASEL!!! Enjoy being an "unemployed stay at home perv.". OOPS! I mean "dad"!

72. Some of you people are friggin retarded. Marriage is sacred and you treat it like a high school relationship. I think that those who pointed out that many of these comments are made by men and people who arent married or have kids. However, i would like to point out that many of these comments are probably made by 14 year olds who dont uphold truth and commitment and all of this is a joke to you. Poor Sara who has to live this in the spotlight while the rest of the world can hide all of this. She is doing what is right. Her children need to learn how to handle this in case it happens to them. If sara was to stay with him, all she would teach her children is to put up with a man treating you like sh*t. go sara!

73. Nobody really cares if she stays married or divorces her husband; I think most people object to her making her allegations public, and humilating her children. In her announcement to quit the dancing with the stars show, she was unable to make eye contact with the host, and kept looking down at the ground as she spoke. She didn't appear to be telling the truth. She mentioned that she learned of the content of her husband's computer minutes before her last performance (is that her excuse for her horrible dancing?). If she wasn't making plans to divorce her husband before this--who did she have checking out her husband's hard-drive just minutes before her performance?

So she hears information about him having pornography on the computer on Tuesday night just before her dance performance, then she gets a phone call from her son right after the results show on Wednesday--and she determines that she must file for divorce, she must quit the show, and freeze her bank accounts. That is a lot of action to take immediately when you were not planning a divorce up to that point.

74. Sara sounds like she has a screw loose. It's a shame for the kids.

75. This lady's family is very dysfunctional. It is in no way approved by God. The husband is a no good jigalo and I do not feel sorry for the wife. Don't be surprised to hear later that her and her dancing partner continue or join in whatever relationship they may chose. To all of you characters that look at this as a normal family and that the kook of a husband is doing nothing wrong, wake up and get a life. There is nothing in the scriptures that allow such actions. They are leading a Satanic life not one that the marriage vows cover.
