Seriously?? :shock: http://www.givememyremote.com/remote...ox-first-look/

cant read it, what does it say?

i am pretty sure jon would apologise pretty quickly if he said something lashing out

Just a few things that have been nagging at me since I read that awful article:

1. Re: Jon sounding level-headed while talking about the overdose: Well, of course he does; he's talking to the media, he has an image to uphold. But that doesn't mean he is able to talk so calmly or rationally in private or among family and friends;

2. "In a jokey way"? How does one "joke" about a dear friend's daughter becoming a junkie? If this happened, it was bullying and an awful thing to say, pure and simple.

3. "Don't believe he is this hard or this dumb". I don't want to believe it, either, but who knows what people are like behind closed doors? Also, grief or fear or some combination thereof can do strange things to people who might seem 'rational' in every other facet of their lives, including in their public lives. I think it's quite possible that Jon could have said something like this in a moment of despair or anger. Maybe he didn't /mean/ to hurt Richie, but was just expressing shock that such a fate had befallen him (Jon)who had the same wife for 24 years, had raised his kids away from the limelight, etc. He had done everything "right" and this had happened to him anyway.

This article, as outlandish as it sounds, actually seems to tie up a lot of loose ends for me between the initial TMZ article and now. I hope it's proven to be false, but of all the theories we've bandied about here, I think it's the one that (barring alcoholism or family illness) would be the most plausible given what we know.

I was right.

I think the two headed alien love child is more believable than this article.

Maybe Jon and Richie are ................

Jon wasn't even with the band when she overdosed, he was home. He had time to deal with and come to terms with it before he was even around Richie. He has said in interviews that he came to realize it's a lot more common than he thought and that others who he greatly respects reached out and said something similar has happened to their own kids, which appeared to be comforting to him in the way he said it in interviews.

I don't believe for a second that he said it.

There is no way this is true because why is Richie covering for Jon and himself saying personal reasons? Honestly, I don't know about you but if my friend said that about my daughter, I would not be hiding the truth and saying personal reasons, I would tell and I wouldn't care that you are Jon Bon Jovi. I would say the statement along the lines of our friendship is beyond repair and Jon has spoken out of line regarding my family.

They are all fathers and have seen each other became fathers and these children growing up all throughout the years. Jon brought Ava out to dance on stage and even through I've got the girl is about Stephanie, he would sing the line about breaking their hearts and mention all their daughters.

This sounds like something the press thought of themselves and even fans. During that time I saw comments such as I would have expected this from Ava, not Stephanie. Don't think the press didn't think it.

Don't even try to rationalize it, its beyond stupid.

Ok; now I feel better. I hadn't read the commentary about Ava and Stephanie during Stephanie's overdose, but you're right that it's certainly possible the press picked up on it and now have an excuse to bring it up again, just to stir the pot. Anything to sell a story, as usual...
