Why did she expose him? Revenge, to wreck his career and his life. She was misled by a journalist into thinking she could have her revenge at no cost to herself- what a fool.
Why did she claim he bullied her into it? She thought the jury would feel sorry for her and let her off- marital coercion. They didn't believe her, neither do I.
Overall probably not a very nice person-perhaps they deserved each other.
They both deserve what they got and more- you or I would have got more.

If every person whose partner cheated on them went to these lengths to utterly ruin them what an interesting world it would be. We wouldn't need World Wars.
I think she knew what the risks were when she took the action she did......she is not stupid woman.....but perhaps she felt it was worth the risk after the way in which he betrayed her.

And Gordon, with the greatest respect, none of us know what goes on inside a marriage....we only know what the two people want to tell us, and the truth is probably somewhere in between.
