Question C

[Jonetta]

Abby’s ex-husband is furious at her for disposing of his stuff that he failed to retrieve after six months. He takes his anger out on her through his radio show the next day. He’s a shock jock but did he go too far or was it within the boundaries of his show’s format?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Pretty low act but par for the course for Luke.

[Sharon]

He showed his true colors, but I wasn't surprised by his rant.

[Anita]

He was a loser and a jerk. I guess he expected Abby to store his junk until he felt moved to get it. It was his own fault she tossed his stuff. He should have rented a truck and a storage facility and taken care of his stuff. His taking his ire out on air was to be expected, Abby shouldn't have let it get to her. It wasn't out of bounds for his show, I don't think anything was.

[Jonetta]

Luke was really mad that Abby had done what she said she would. I got the impression that he was used to steamrolling over her while they were married. He just couldn’t believe she had the will to get rid of his stuff.

He didn’t go too far on his show as that's what he normally did. But he did this to hurt Abby and that was out of line. I lived in the Washington DC area when Howard Stern’s show was first broadcast. He regularly maligned his first wife and she ultimately walked away.

I’ll never understand the appeal but to each his own.

[Lauren]

Abby should have put all of his stuff on the front lawn and had a lovely bonfire!

Luke's rant on the show was disgusting but not surprising given the type of person he was. I was pleased that she did not confront him over the phone as it would not have gone well for her. People like Luke hate being ignored so her silence was the best revenge.

[Jonetta]

When she was dialing the number, I was screaming, “No! No! No!” and was so happy when she hung up without speaking.

[Sharon]

I was happy she hung up too. If she was on the radio, the confrontation would be saved for eternity. Abby would never live it down.

[Jonetta]

Not one single thing would be accomplished for her if she’d engaged.

[Lauren]

Jonetta wrote: "Not one single thing would be accomplished for her if she’d engaged."

Totally!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Not giving him the time of day was the best revenge for that type of man. Insignificance.

[Jonetta]

Yeah, he wanted the reaction.
