Woman Thanks Restaurant Critic for Exposing Husband's Affair with Photo of Him Dining with Someone Else

-

One Washington Post restaurant critic unwittingly exposed a man for cheating on his wife — at least that’s what one woman is thanking him for this week.

In Tom Sietsema’s weekly live chat column, Ask Tom, one anonymous commenter didn’t so much have a question as a bit of a strange thank you note.

“Well Tom your latest review is accompanied by a picture of my husband dining with a woman who isn’t me!” she wrote on Wednesday’s column, nestled between other commenters inquiring after romantic dinner spots and restaurant recommendations in Charleston, South Carolina.

“Once confronted with photographic evidence, he confessed to having an ongoing affair,” she continued. “Just thought you’d be amused to hear of your part in the drama. This Thanksgiving I’m grateful to you for exposing a cheat!”

Sietsema was seemingly dumbfounded by this revelation, writing back that he’d “hate” to know that the commenter’s claim was indeed true.

“Please, please, please tell me this is a crank post,” the food critic wrote. “I’d hate to learn otherwise. I file two reviews a week, for Food and the Magazine, so I’m not sure which restaurant this is.”

Sietsema later shared the comment on his Twitter, giving other Washington, D.C. area diners a warning.

“So, this popped up on my live online food chat today. Cheaters, take heed!” he wrote on Twitter along with a screenshot of the interaction.

He also retweeted another user’s tweet about his surreal experience that included a GIF of Gordon Ramsay covering his face with his hands, and the comment, “This is how I imagine @tomsietsema reacting to that woman’s Thank You note for his chat today. Whoa!”

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
