@@sherriefox8838 I’m not saying she should have hated Liz forever or anything, and I know they patched things up eventually, but if you were friends with someone and they hooked up with your spouse, you probably wouldn’t be so forgiving. Yes it was the spouse who technically betrayed his wife, but the friend he cheated with bears some responsibility.

@Shirley King I think both Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor were too good for Eddie Fisher. I am a widow and can tell you that having just lost Mike Todd, Taylor was totally vulnerable.(She also had an infant daughter by Todd). Fisher had a "thing" for her before Mike Todd died, but she had been truly happy w/Todd. Being with Fisher was a way to keep Todd with her, but only until she "woke up". If anything, she did Debbie Reynolds a favor which I believe Reynolds realized, which then helped them mend their friendship. They were both very special women.

I hate what Eddie did to Debbie.

[@stupidahyan5721]

Thank you for blaming Eddie and not liz yes it was also her fault but nobody blames the men

[@jochenstossberg5427]

What did he do to Debbie? Nothing. Except expose her and Elizabeth Taylor for what they were.

[@FreedomofSpeech865]

He suffered the same faith. Getting cheated on and dumped

[@charlottebruce979]

My husband left me for another woman, when my children were babies. There comes a point when you draw the line and move on. I'd hate to keep talking about it over and over!! I wish my ex the best of luck, he left over a decade ago.

[@PungiFungi]

I am sure Debbie Reynolds had moved on a looooong time ago but since she was a celeb and Fisher leaving her for Liz made big news, she's going to be asked about it whether she liked it or not. and she was too polite to tell people to shut the fuck up about it.

[@malgorzatasweet8479]

Very wise woman you are

[@BS1af]

Charlotte Bruce Smart woman! You took the high road & I'm sure it helped your children. Blessings!

[@JennyB957]

Exactly what I was thinking, I think I'd try to find a good story to tell on myself . But I think she wanted to keep up with Liz and it backfired on her .

[@BlueRidgeMtns100]

@@PungiFungi I think it might have been easier for her to come to terms with when his career disappeared overnight. :)

[@eleonoradeane5170]

How hurtful it must have been for Debbie Reynolds. And to be asked the same questions over and over?

[@cafemarlene8]

Elly Deane maybe it wasn’t that hurtful to her...she’s good at empathizing 😉😉 what a woman

[@sarahholland1375]

I think she realised Liz did her a favour. And she knew gossip is what chat shows want.

[@Aqquila89]

She said it's redundant to talk about this in 1988, and ended up having to answer questions about it for the next 25 years.

[@zeem.8656]

This is what classy is and to talk openly about Elizabeth. I recall Liz saying she didn't know why she did it (take someone else's husband), but I believe she did. She knew Debbie and recalled what a friend she was and how wholesome she seemed and how easy it would be. Liz never wanted to be alone but she didn't think twice of getting rid of Eddie since he was such a mouse compared to Richard. Eddie cheated, he took vows with Debbie, not Elizabeth.

[@angelaprince3482]

you have admit elizabeth got any man chewed him up and spat him out.

[@CornflowerBlueEyes]

Count on Debbie Reynolds to be a classy lady...and Letterman to be anything but a kindhearted gentleman. Cher was so right when she stated the reason why she had never appeared on his show, after finally agreed to do it. "You're an a**hole." I respected Cher already, that comment just made me like her even more.

[@guinnberger2681]

The way the press asked Debbie Reynolds such intrusive, insensitive questions was shocking and repulsive. She said in one of these interviews that people more or less hounded her on the subject of how it felt to be betrayed by two people she loved and trusted, and that was actually putting it mildly. But I think she was a champion to be able to refrain from telling the rude jerks off outright, or even knocking some of them down ...in the same way she described Mike Todd and Elizabeth Taylor slugging one another. Wow. What a series of kerfuffles her friendships and marriages were.

What a lovely person Debbie Reynolds was!

[@thewizardofvoz4909]

I worked with Debbie Reynolds several times. Class act.

[@blue2134]

This is the way we as women should conduct ourselves when something like this happens. She’s so classy and refine, I highly respect her

[@superstuff4988]

DEBBIE Reynolds what a lady !! Admire her great actress!!

[@robbieblackburn8935]

She is

[@cellis3045]

Debbie was twice the woman Liz Taylor ever was....Classy, she never spoke a bad word about Liz even though she took her husband leaving her with a baby to bring up on her own, whilst Liz made out she was her best friend at the time...Debbie also kept all the memorabilia from the Golden Age of Movies and was not only intelligent, talented, an interesting and engaging public speaker, good actress and singer, but a real trooper...RIP Debbie...I thought you were pretty, wonderful and a great STAR xxx

[@rosemarieconklin4683]

I so agree

[@addabboo]

They were both great women, someting you don't know what it is.

[@deborahstancil4041]

What a sophisticated lady!! She inspires me.

[@leanderrowe2800]

The biggest tragedy is losing Carrie. She was always such a devoted mother. Love you Debbie ❤️

[@dariosandoval3608]

She ended dying 1 day after her daughter. I get it that she was 84, but folks under 70 can still died from broken heart.

[@danseabreeze1404]

In the old days: "He went with her". In 2013: "He was f*c*ing Elizabeth!" LOL!

[@trevorthompson5466]

She developed a great sense of humor over the situation and that is commendable

[@djholliday5132]

Debbie Reynolds had to be asked about Elizabeth Taylor for the REST OF HER LIFE. She handled it with grace & humor. There was no social media to bash & cancel someone back then. RIP Debbie, Carrie & Elizabeth.

[@2dasimmons]

Debbie Reynolds really seems like a beautiful person. Very caring😍

[@bdiaz6081]

Class act! All the way.

[@joeyh3167]

Anyone who have a chance to be friend with this lady was so lucky . She is a gem

[@armiesep8710]

How heart breaking. Yet she overcame, Debbie shows enormous strength.

[@jacquemccoy4511]

I love Debbie Reynolds! She was a classy lady always!!

[@virginiabotha3545]

I take my hat off to Debbie Reynolds. I don't think I would have handled this situation the way she did - she really rose above it with utter class. Between Liz and Debbie, Debbie was the class act 1000%. My absolute respect for Debbie Reynolds.

[@williamlommell1737]

Debbie should have told Joy Behar, Look Bitch, I went through this once and that was enough...get your story straight,,,and walked off the set. Debbie always had class, something that Joy will never have.

[@ruthiemonroig1614]

Debbie Reynolds is so cute 🤗Rest in Paradise Pretty Lady ♥️

[@biggreenbananas8929]

Debbie: No, he wasn't playing cards. He was f***ing Elizabeth. What a way to end this long video. 😂
