Here's an idea: next time, instead of being late, just *beep* on my face-Emma Stone

;) Well, her timing's impeccable, either that or awful, with the new show coming out. She'll spend all her press junket time answering questions about being divorced!
shareI'm sure she'll have her team tell people not to ask her about it. Otherwise she'd be stuck getting asked what it was like when everyone found out she had an affair with a married man who has 3 children.

what it was like when everyone found out she had an affair with a married man who has 3 children.
Do you think she'll be asked about the divorce? From what I've seen around the "news" (gossip) sites, there's not much interest. There's more "Who is she and why should I care?" in the comments. And a bit of "Oh yeah, the skank."
shareIt's a good question, but does CBS want the "skank" talk? I mean, everybody gets it, but generally it's gotten about some teenybopper you don't know and the fellow teens really don't have any reason for making this statement, except "She's pretty and rich and gets to date hot guys and I'm jealous of her." McPhee's actually given them a concrete reason they can point to.
shareWasn't McPhee watched and voted for by over 30 million people on Idol and the premiere of Smash got 11+ million viewers in the US alone. I'd say McPhee is very well recognised by the public, even if she usually keeps her personal life out of it until the affair came out.
I honestly don't care about it, it doesn't change my opinion of her. She was unhappily married and was separated from her husband when she began whatever it was that happened with Morris. Maybe he was telling her that he would leave his wife and perhaps he was just as unhappy as Katharine but he wasn't ready to leave. It doesn't seem to be the case of McPhee and Morris just getting together, pretending it didn't happen and wondering back to their spouses like nothing happened. McPhee wasn't with her husband and who knows what was happening with Morris' marriage? It's not fair to call her a skank because she wasn't cheating. He was. Sure, she knew the man had a seemingly happy family and she was coming between that, but like I said, maybe Morris was planning on leaving his wife.

Yes, that can be argued as surely SOMEbody at CBS is counting on people who think like you and think they exist; but the people saying "who is she and why should I care?" argue an opposing side, which is "people's memories fade if the celebrity is not constantly in their line of vision". Cross-reference the myriad of shows that went downhill which people claim "never recovered from the writer's strike", which I don't think caused people to miss more than 6 weeks of their previously adored "appointment television". Network executives complain and wring their hands when their show is pre-empted once for just this reason. My friend watched many seasons of American Idol with me and has rather poor recall of contestants who did not win, down to pegging someone who showed up in fifth season as having showed up in second season and an eighth-season contestant having featured in four, and even occasionally blanks on the name of Carrie Underwood! It's also one of those main reasons McPhans like to trot out for why Kat's first album underperformed so badly "too much of a wait between her second-place finish and the album dropping, people forgot to look for it!" (and, by extension, "forgot about Kat").
And I don't agree that Kat had no responsibility to do any due diligence and that her only role was to swallow everything Morris told her. Scant weeks before the affair made its way into the news, his wife was posting Instagram photos of Morris backstage on-set at a taping of her show, beaming away. Kat has the same access to social media as the rest of us, clearly there were plenty of opportunities to access that at minimum Mary McCormack had no idea what was going on, at which point it shouldn't matter to a decent woman what line of sewage the husband is funneling her way.
There was some "Who is she and why should I care" starting already when McPhee did that Lipton Tea thing, and that wasn't too long after Smash had ended. In the comments I see after this latest news, many/most who remember her from Smash remember her awful acting, so their reaction is also "why should I care."
As for her due diligence on the marital status of her paramours, I'd read of her reputation for likin' the married doods (Nick possibly being one of them) well before the Morris story broke. There was no way she didn't know Morris was a married man with kids. She just didn't care. She's never shown even a hint of remorse, at least not that I've heard of. Other than being embarrassed for being caught.
