A celebrity known to tell-all on Twitter may be taking her dirty laundry to print soon. Demi Moore is said to have signed a book deal with Harper Collins and plans to dish out all of the personal details about Ashton Kutcher’s infidelities that led to their recent divorce.
A recent Entertainmentwise report reveals Moore signed the over $1 million book deal just before the holidays. A tell-all book written by Demi Moore would surely make for a juicy read and no doubt fly off shelves, but would revealing personal details about her husband’s wrong-doings be the healthy way to go? Revenge like this may feel good at first, but in the long run Moore may be happier if she forgoes the public outing of her ex.
Experts agree that revenge is never the healthy way to go in this situation. Professor of psychology at Fordham University in New York, Harold Takooshian, explains to ABC News why revenge is not really the best medicine. Takooshian says, “Like hate, revenge is something that takes a toll on the person who feels wronged, as well as the [person's] enemy. It is inherently unhealthy because it takes a psychological and physical toll on the person. Venting those feelings of anger and hostility does not decrease those feelings. It may give you a cathartic feeling, but it doesn't last.”
What do you think of Demi Moore authoring a tell-all book about her marriage to Ashton Kutcher?
Do you think this kind of revenge helps or hinders someone trying to work through a divorce?
A tell-all book? I feel like the public rarely gets the real truth and that's fine. Just know what it is before you pay your hard earns dollars for it!

Just because she's writing a book about their marriage/divorce doesn't mean she's doing it for revenge...writing is a kind of therapy for people, and maybe she feels like it will be therapeutic to share her experience. We won't know if her book has a vengeful slant until we read it...

I could care less. If she feels writing is therapeutic, than why not write in a journal? Why capitalize on this? Because she can?

I don't really care about actors/ actresses lives...care about my life and family more...care about doing good or volunteering..

Maybe she feels that she would rather reveal the truth herself because it would be factual rather than having the tabloids or the entertainment industry telling it, via twisting the truth and telling enough just to wet everybody's appetite. That is when all these untruths come out, and I'm sure it is therapy for her, who cares if she writes a book about her life, if that's what she wants to do to help herself then I don't find anything wroth with that as long as it is the truth.

There is a reason a wife cleaves to her husband and he to her. There should not be others in the personal relationship. Personal business needs to be kept personal. One can't have it both ways. Revenge writing will feel great (AT FIRST) then one hopefully will realize revenge helps keep you bitter and bitterness is not pretty. There are others involved, Demi's children, extended family. Let it go (easier said than done - please take the high road.) The end result may not be the one hoped for - the comments will reflect the age difference, was the marriage ever solid. It may bring up thoughts and feelings she is not prepared for.

I know I'll be reading! It definitely depends on the couple. I'm pretty private about my relationship it's sacred to me :)

I guess I'm "old school" in my thoughts, I believe like Jackie Kennedy did that some things should be kept private especially when children are involved.

I agree. Relationships should be kept private especially when children are involved. Also on a side note, there are always two sides of the story. When relationships fail, usually both parties are to blame.
