79. Who knows if it is a publicity stunt but I hope she does divorce him. She is clearly in it just for the money and C list celebrity status.

80. I felt sad when I watched the show, and feel sad now also...It's hard enough to deal with life but when you add drugs/booze it even makes it harder. There are no winners here.........I just hope everyone gets tries to get the help they need and nothing more hurtful comes from this...Lets face it everyone has someone in their family or knows someone such as Danny, and his family...this is true

82. I feel badly for all involved. Divorce is never easy, but even worse when you're in the public eye. Just remember, all you Danny bashers and all you Gretchen bashers, just remember, "it takes two"! If they don't reconcile, I hope for everyone's sake (especially the kids) that they can amicably setlle their custody and property issues, so everyone can move on as peacefully as possible.

85. I grew up with a father who was and still is an addict. It messes up the kids! Good for Gretchen to leave and salvage her life and spare her kids from more torment. After years of a crazy marriage like that, how could she stay? There's too much hurt.

86. CONGRATS on the sobriety. Way to rock. Sorry to hear about the divorce. Be strong and be kind for the kids.

87. Unfortunately, getting sober does not change a person's personality. Once the 800lb. gorilla was out of the relationship all that was left was the 2 of them. And if she found that she still had the man she didn't like at home after he got sober, that's a problem. I think his biggest problem is going to be alimony and the house. The kids will be fine.

88. Saw this coming...The hurt don`t go away..u can forgive somewhat..but u don`t trust for a very long time..most marriages don`t survive that period, the respect is gone...usually the love is gone 2....its doomed ,the poor little girl is gonna be mad at mom and want to take care of dad...so sad

89. Danny, Danny, Danny..Please for the love of God stay sober. I think you are one of the most brilliant drug addicts around. I'm so sorry you got blindsided by this, but I must say, not surprising at all. Stay strong buddy, love you on the Carolla show.
