David Letterman's blackmailer is now behind bars, but how is his marriage to Regina Lasko?
Just recently, the New York Post ran a piece in which many former staffers dished on David Letterman, painting the picture of a guy with supercharged "sexual electricity." Regina Lasko is really no different from these other ladies, considering that she also used to work for Dave and began dating him while he had a serious girlfriend. And not to say that she still can't be hurt by his infidelity, but as someone who was once "the other woman," is it fair for her to hold a grudge against Dave for too long?
Rumor has it that Regina Lasko told the Late Show host to give her space.
Rumor has it that Regina Lasko has thrown her husband David Letterman out of their home. After news of his infidelity came to light, Letterman was given the opportunity to come clean, it's said. The results were not up to par and she is waiting the rest of the year to figure out what she wants to do. She's giving him the same time to figure out if he'd like to continue seeing Stephanie Birkitt or commit fully to his family.
Stephanie Birkitt had a relationship with Letterman after she moved in with Joe Halderman.
Stephanie Birkitt, the woman at the center of the Letterman drama, wrote in her diary that she continued having a relationship with Dave, even after she moved in with Joe Halderman, the man who eventually tried to blackmail the comedian. Perhaps his extortion scheme was motivated in part by his anger at Birkitt and Letterman. More at YourTango's Celeb Love.
