All this stuff that's happening with Joost van der Westhuizen's CRAZY! At first - when he announced that he'd lied about the sex tape and drugs earlier this week - I was like "Whatever, it was so obvious, it isn't newsworthy," but the story's been sickening bigtime.
As you probs know he released his "tell-all" book this week too - just in time to coincide with his decision to come clean about the truth.
The result: the first print run of it's already sold out.
Not only that but he's already got two spots on TV: he's going to be on kykNET's Kwela tonight (4 November at 20h00) talking about "it all" and "asking for forgiveness".
He's also gonna be on All Access tomorrow (5 November at 19h30) - except, get this - there's no "tell-all" aspect to this interview.
Instead he's talking about his book, his life, his VALUES in RAISING CHILDREN (it's too much, I'm finished!), his rugby past, blah blah blah i.e: "See I'm not scum, buy my book NOW" A full-on passive-aggressive marketing campaign.
My theory on what's been going on: when Heat broke the sex tape his immediate response was to lie and then afterwards he decided that he'd make money out of it by writing a book so he could sell the truth. There's just NO ways it's all coincidence that the truth came out the same time as the book.
If he'd told the truth back when it first happened it would have been controversy for a bit and died out in two weeks or so - this way he gets to drag his family through the mud over and over again, while making cash off it.
The one thing I'm still puzzling is what Amor's role is in it all. Surely, surely she had to have known? How could anyone go on radio immediately after hearing such news as she's done and not have a nervous breakdown?
Did they decide to do the book together or has she only just found out the truth? Did Joost sell-out her and their children for the sake of the millions he'll make on the book - or did she suggest it??
Whatever the case, at the centre of it all is Joost, the SCUMBAG - who's used sex, lies and videotape to manipulate everyone into paying him.
PS: Imagine if he staged the video tape! I don't think so though - reckon it was all the result of getting caught.
