"Misstatement", right. Unless I'm missing something, I'm sure this was a publicity stunt. A sleazy one, too.
Worse than sleazy. It was slanderous and seemed calculated to hurt Kelly.
Anyway, I'll say no more. As Palladin said last night, "...don't give away all the downlow and dirty show biz secrets. Not on this thread, anyway. Haven't you ever heard of the 'willing suspension of disbelief'?"
People can go back to suspending their disbelief.
