Thanks for the ping that Jeri is back on the market. I know my spurning her romantic advances have been a life long heart ache for her. Maybe I'll give her a call and see how she's holding up.

Actress says Illinois pol sought liaisons in kinky clubs
JUNE 22--In what may prove a crippling blow to his U.S. Senate campaign, divorce records reveal that Illinois Republican Jack Ryan was accused by his former wife, actress Jeri Ryan, of pressuring her to have sex at swinger's clubs in New York, Paris, and New Orleans while other patrons watched. The bombshell allegation is contained amidst nearly 400 pages of records ordered released yesterday by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge who ruled on media requests to unseal documents from the Ryan case.
The salacious charge leveled at the politician was made by Jeri Ryan, who has starred in TV's "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Boston Public," in a court filing in connection with child custody proceedings (you'll find a portion of that heavily redacted September 2000 document below).
The performer alleged that she refused Ryan's requests for public sex during the excursions, which included a trip to a New York club "with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling." While Ryan, a former Goldman Sachs executive, confirmed the trips with the actress, he described them simply as "romantic getaways," denying her claims that he sought public sex. The politician has repeatedly claimed that his divorce file--portions of which were sealed in 2000 and 2001--contained no embarrassing information that would harm his chances against Democratic nominee Barack Obama. The Ryans were married in 1991 and, in November 1998, Jeri Ryan filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." Another unsealed document reveals that Jeri Ryan, as part of the divorce settlement, received about $20 million in Goldman Sachs stock, while Jack Ryan retained a $40 million stake in the investment giant. (8 pages)
Geez, judging by that photo, maybe SHE'S the one who wanted to do the swinging and other stuff.
Which leaves Jack Ryan roughly analagous to Ellen Rexroat.
Well, no he wasn't. Hence the divorce papers (ba-dumdum).
I see your point about Ms. Ryan's onscreen personas. I don't think her skin is thick enough to put up with her son being embarassed. She also fought to keep the records sealed.
I do have a problem with her shacking up with that man, but if her marriage was the way she portrayed it, she instinctively sought a male that would "protect her". Of course it's wrong, but so is psychological abuse. Just because she's a well known actress doesn't make her any less human, and the child any less vulnerable.
Alex was having an affair with his secretary at Goldman Sachs. Now he is with a new girlfriend.
There are whispers that Alex funded a soft core film for Teri and that the film is out there somewhere.
Hahaha, but you and I are not married, and you are not the father of my children :-)
Where were you 25 years ago? /joking
This makes me wonder about Jeri Ryan. What kind of mom would want this drug through the press so as to embarrass and hurt her own child? This could be handled quietly.
Why wait. He needs to be drawn and quartered now. He has harmed a child because of his thirst for publicity.
Waiting patiently for your little 25-year-long fling to be over with.
If this is true, then I take back what I said in another post about Jeri Ryan.
Doesn't surprise me one bit. It also wouldn't surprise me that Alex funded a softcore porn video and forced his wife to perform in it. This guy sounds like a sociopath. I'm not saying that his ex wife is a saint, but trying to force your wife to perform sex acts in front of strangers is just awful. Most normal men are very jealous of their wives. Hot or not.
Barack Obama sounds like a Star Trek character name.
"Unlike Clinton this guy will not be elected because he wanted to have sex with his wife"
I was thinking this same thing. Sure, it's a little creepy, but hey, it's with his wife, so whatever gets you through the night as far as I'm concerned.
Not only that, these are only allegations! Not proven facts! What kind of society do we live in when you only have to be accused of something to have it destroy you? Kinda sickening.
The Illinois GOP has done this to themselves though. They have been in full self-distruct mode for quite a while. While I liked, (and still like) Ryan, Fitzgerled should be running again, and the only reason he's not is because they screwed him over for not voting for enough pork.
How are we supposed to properly analyze this case without relevant photos and/or videotapes?
My point.
I agree. RG, look up a LA County Judge named Robert A. Schnider. Enquiring minds want to know....
This is the kind of stuff you don't want your kids to hear about. This poor kid is going to get his nose rubbed into muck :-(

Hahahhaa!!! You're too funny :-)
I am pretty shocked that Cheney did a fundraiser for Ryan last week. Everyone knew about this story in at least January. I feel awful because we need the seat, but we don't need scuzzy characters in office.
"Well, no he wasn't. Hence the divorce papers (ba-dumdum)."
Um.... Jeri Ryan said that he was never unfaithful to her. Where di you get that idea?
