Re: Jay Leno Files For Conservatorship

tends2dogs · ‎05-08-2010

I saw him one night on his talk show when he brought his wife out. He preceded it by saying that the good she has done for so many charities and needful situations, far exceeded anything he has ever done. He held her up on a pedestal. He was in awe of her. He said he wanted her to come out and talk about some of things she supported. She was very soft spoken and shy.

He came across as a humble guy that became a success. BUT his wife, in his eyes, was the star.

When I quickly read a partial headline today, I thought it was going to say that Jay filed for divorce. Once I opened the article and read the complete headline, I saw that it was for a conservatorship. How tragic. Mavis is his life, as they made the decision as a young couple, not to have children. Jay once said that they felt that raising children was not compatible with a career in the entertainment industry. I hope he has a strong support system. I have a relative that is rapidly declining with dementia and she's a very young 71 years old. Her husband (my cousin) is beside himself.

He is usually at the Barrett Jackson car sale every year. Don't know if he made it this year. He should set up something so his wife is properly taken care of.

I saw no sign of Jay at this year's auction.

Just learned of this the other day. So sad, for this to happen. This is such a horrible thing for families to go through. There's so many horrible things, but I can't imagine the pain of this one. Best wishes to him and his family.

Very sad but necessary

He really didn't have to make her condition public, although there's nothing to be ashamed of.

She isn't even a 'public personality' and may not have wanted her condition to be broadcast to the world.

If it were me, my DH would be burned at the stake, but maybe she was okay with it.

I think if would be nice, to do what he did to protect her in the future, but to broadcast why was unnecessary, if not self serving.

From what I've read, the sources cite court documents so it's not like he held a press conference. Someone may have scoured the court filings to see the latest goings on with anyone famous.
