Cheating celebrities' apologies are 'entirely unnecessary'

Public apologies from adulterous celebrities are "entirely unnecessary", according to a social commentator.

Charlie Brooker, TV presenter and entertainment and culture journalist, wrote in the Guardian that unless stars are apologising for heinous war crimes then an apology is not something the public need or want to hear.

He argues that celebrities getting a bit of nookie are not seen as evil or wrongdoing by the public, who often take the view that "it is their private life they can do what they want".

Instead, it is often the press who spin infidelities as "scandals", without any regard for the public viewpoint.

In several public polls, many people in the UK did not believe the England footballer John Terry should have been de-stripped of his captaincy, following his extra-marital affair with Vanessa Peroncel, but he was hounded by the media all the same.

His comments come after several celebrities' secret affairs have been cast into the limelight by the press.

US golfer Tiger Woods, TV presenter Vernon Kay and the aforementioned John Terry have also issued public apologies following revelations of their infidelities despite the fact that their wives have all stood by them.
