Listen...I respect you. I do. And the last thing I would want to do to tarnish your reputation amongst your peers. But you've backed me into a corner. And a cornered animal always attacks.
It started earlier this year. I received an anonymous phone call tip that you and SBC had a fling at a caribbean resort. I didn't know whether to believe what I was hearing or to write it off as complete lunacy. I did the only thing I could at the time: I forgot that I had heard anything and continued living my life as normal. After all, if I took what the muffled voice on the other line said as gospel, it would mean that my world was without a true constant. At the time, I just couldn't stand to live in such a place.
Two months passed. I'd be lying if I said that what I heard on the phone that fateful autumn day never crossed my mind, but it certainly wasn't commanding me. Not until the second tip showed up, that is. This time it was a hand written letter from a Frenchman claiming to have seen you and SBC in public. As I worked my way through the letter, naivete clouded my better judgment and, just as quickly as each word on the page entered my head, I dismissed it as a poorly-conceived smear campaign.
And then I reached the fourth page of the letter. The page that had the picture.
I grew up a little bit that day. I went from a fresh, wet-behind-the-ears kid to a hardened adult in a matter of seconds. I know it's cliche, but life really does come at you fast.
Since that letter, I've received a smattering of other similar bits through the mail (both electronic and snail). I never intended to bring the details to light, but you've forced my hand. I feel that I have no choice but to open the shades for a grand reveal on what has been going on with the two of you.
The photo below came from a letter with no return address, though it had a Madrid postmark. I'm sure you don't even remember the night based on the amount of alcohol you had, but the third person in the room certainly does...and with great detail. He outlined for me exactly what happened between the three of you. I would get into it, but I think the photo speaks for itself.
I'm sorry that it came to this.
