David Letterman: I Hurt My Wife 'Horribly'

Posted Oct 6th 2009 12:46AM by TMZ Staff

Speaking in a far more serious tone than he did last week -- David Letterman admitted on tonight's show how his wife Regina "has been horribly hurt by my behavior."


David continued by saying, "If you hurt a person, and it's your responsibility, you try to fix it ... so let me tell you folks, I have my work cut out for me."

Before addressing the situation with his wife, David was a bit more jovial -- apologizing to his staff members for subjecting them to all the drama caused by his situation ... then cracking a joke about hooking up with his announcer, Alan Kalter.

David also wanted to make it clear that his sexual exploits with staff members were a "thing of the past."

2. I love the Dave Letterman show. I hope he can straighten out his life and this mess. I feel sorry for his wife and child. I am sure she is very, very hurt. He should be ashamed of himself for doing that, but so many men think they can do whatever and it's okay as long as they don't get caught.

7. It was his responsibility not to hurt his wife horribly in the first place.

DL is a very shallow man. I'd leave him. Womanizers don't feel deeply about any woman.

8. It's good to see Letterman with some humility. He certainly would have been last on "my list" to have been witnessing a personal damage control move. You never know what will happen to knock you off your high horse....do you? I have a great deal of compassion for the mother of his child....she's in my thoughts and prayers.

9. if you hurt "a person"? TALK about adding insult to injury. He keeps disrespecting his wife with these comments. She's just " a person"? Dave is disgusting.

10. What's the big deal? It's not like he is a politician or some sort of moral leader. He wasn't even married when this is supposed to happen. Move on.
