Infidelity Expert Sheds Light on Why the Rich and Famous Cheat
Infidelity expert, Ruth Houston looks at some of the underlying reasons behind celebrity infidelity and some of the things that compel the rich and famous to have extramarital affairs.
(PRWEB) August 10, 2006 -- The most recent episode of celebrity infidelity - the split between Christie Brinkley and cheating husband, Peter Cook over his affair with 19 year old Diana Bianchi -- has everyone wondering the same thing.
Why would Peter Cook jeopardize his 10-year marriage to the beautiful Christie Brinkley for a year of trysts with a teenager he met in a toy store?
“The rich and famous cheat for many of the same reasons ordinary people do,” says infidelity expert

In the sidebar on celebrity infidelity entitled, “Why Do the Rich and Famous Cheat?” Houston, the founder of www.InfidelityAdvice.com and the author of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs, provides insight into why some of the rich and famous have extramarital affairs.
WHY DO THE RICH AND FAMOUS CHEAT?
1. A sense of entitlement: Many celebrities, politicians, corporate executives and other prominent individuals feel that because of who they are, they can cheat on their mates with impunity.
2. Peer pressure: With celebrity infidelity constantly in the news, many rock stars, sports figures, actors and other famous people feel that infidelity is the norm. (Earlier this year, rock star Jon Bon Jovi commented that in the music industry, cheating with women was essentially part of the job.)
3. Low self-esteem: Non-celebrity spouses married to famous husbands or wives sometimes cheat for what experts call "ego embellishment." They want to be the center of attention, to feel important or special. They may actually cheat (consciously or subconsciously) with that in mind.
4. Opportunistic sex: The opportunity presents itself to cheat without getting caught.
5. To satisfy sexual curiosity or the desire for a different type of sex: Author Terry McMillan divorced her husband because of his curiosity about sex with men.
6. The knowledge that they can get away with it: Many cheaters know their husbands/wives won't make waves — as long as they're discreet with their infidelity, keeping it low-key and avoiding publicly embarrassing their mates.
7. Bad role models: Those who watch their dads, uncles or others they look up to cheat will sometimes pattern that behavior.
