Lily James is notorious in getting involved with her co-stars, married or not. She is no angel and it takes two to tango.

[@lizxu322]

I know I'm so disappointed in her

[@hellopumpkin86]

Wow. A far cry from Cinderella, that's for sure. I thought Lily was better than this.

[@nonnie8388]

When someone shows you who they really are….believe him. Run Katherine, run fast.

[@Sitchinite420]

That’s messed up. I can’t believe he cheated, and did it so publicly. What a slap in the face to his wife. 🤬

An appropriate role in the crown. Will come naturally to him.

It's crazy how a man can chase after you for years and when they finally have you they.....really stupid

[@iamsultana]

It's just basic biology and psychology. During the hunt, before sex/mating, the female has the power and is leading the game. But after, it is the man who has that power.

[@Pixie.Little]

@@iamsultana I think there's a lot to be said. Some men, as some females just look stunning, but are rubbish at intelligence and boring in conversation, they don't have varied subjects. Then there are those that like the things a relationship brings, but it might be off the wall weird, or doesn't meet with the clouds. There's all sorts can go wrong when the pressure is on, and especially mingling and mixing.... If you are married it's not right to stray, if you're not happy say, don't play. If you have a guy or girl and it's going downhill. Put the brakes on and part, before a broken heart.

[@juliepatchouli3944]

He is repulsive, his wife should probably leave him, she deserves better. Lily should stick to men who are single always.

[@erickdraws9563]

hes a hero! his wife is a good girl for staying with him because she knows she wont find another shark that takes care of her. go on and leave your husband if you want and let another person do what they want. see how long you last without a real man in your life. thats why youre out here hating on men cus probably the men in your life dont like you for acting like you know it all and they dont tell you cus misguided woman turn them into misguided and weak men.

[@EadsB7002]

It baffles me that so many women nowadays continue to tolerate such nonsense for the sake of the "family" and financial means...and be publicly humiliated (sometimes more than once) on top of it. If they do it once (and you let them get away with it)....9/10 they WILL do it again. Good luck!!

[@StimParavane]

But women know that it signifies that they are wth a high-status guy, which gives them status. They only partner with men who are co-signed by other women.

[@yevaburshteyn6938]

To cheat on beautiful talented wife it's a disgrace

[@rhonda6791]

I saw him and his wife showing her family home that they live in and thought he was a user and a jerk then.

[@marygoodson4920]

Exactly. I'm sure when he was a young struggling actor it was helpful to have a wealthy aristocratic wife and be able to live in her family's estate.

[@jhamlin726]

Probably because you're dense.

[@Linda-xk6ed]

The cheating is heartbreaking enough, but add the humiliation on top it would make it unbearable for me. Katherine is a very strong woman, and much more forgiving than I could ever be. His bags would have been packed and sitting in the road if it were me. I hope she is okay and happy. As for him, he is an egotistical idiot and not even good looking!!!

[@devadii24]

He’s a good actor but there are way hotter men out there… I don’t get it…

[@jessicarabbit439]

His views on affairs is how a lot of males feel famous or not. He just was bold enough and dumb enough to say outloud.

[@shashirekhakamle4655]

I hope he allows his to have a affair just like him if he is ok with his own affair.

[@Pixie.Little]

Jessica. Too right...dumb enough to say it out loud...and narcassitic with it. My dad when having a moan about my mother after she had divorced him....said he didn't agree a female should cheat on their husband, and that it's different for men. Not that my mum had cheated on him. So I said to him, ah, yes, you cheated with so and so, and she was married to another man !!!! He just stared at me. And that's a man I believed him to be a genius....Shows even they can be dumb too ☺️🌹

[@Stormeyworld]

Haha. Dumb enough for sure. The man is practically admitting he has/had affairs. Too bad for his wife.

[@Jahid_n]

I'm afraid that's not the case. If you're not capable to commit you always gonna end up fucking someone else at the end of the day. So don't blame anyone else when they push you away.

[@salsatapatio]

I don’t get the attraction to this guy.

[@LovelornLoveThorns]

I actually found him very alluring and charming when I first watched him in a movie. Obviously that was before I knew about his personal life. He might not be the best looking physically but there is something about him that’s hard to pin down. There is a sex appeal and charm, like you know he would do bad things to you behind closed doors. He’s hot. But an asshole. Or they have an open marriage. Either way, it’s weird

[@devadii24]

He’s not conventionally attractive but some women like that rascal type of guy… he’s so much older than Lily too… gross 🤮

[@Timbergal]

Have you seen The Affair?

[@Timbergal]

@@LovelornLoveThornsHe has the “It” factor

[@cat67834]

What I find sad is, how emotionally confusing it must be to think someone cares about you and that can be that flippant; having a ring on and taking it off, to then running back to your wife. I think a connection between two people is a special thing so it's confusing in these situations. Like if Lily cared about him she must have been so hurt and confused, as well as his wife. At least with Ewan McGregor he's now married to Mary Elizabeth Winstead but this guy, there's none of that. I just don't like to see anyone emotionally used and how someone could be that flippant confuses me. It's sad. Anyway.

[@Jahid_n]

I wonder if the roles were reversed did he still have the same opinion? 😂

[@Stormeyworld]

Funny how one can get a sense of someone just by watching them on tv. I just recently started watching The Affair on Prime. I didn't know the series was several years old. I'm not a Showtime subscriber so I never got to see it when the series was running. I'm almost done with Season 2. I like it! Got a little hooked with the storyline. Gotta say that after watching a few more episodes last night it made me wonder if Dominic was basing his character on his own experience lol. I got this feeling that he might be a real player in real life. He's a little too convincing playing his role. Funny enough the first video that came up while researching him was this one. Ha! Seems I was right. How ironic.😏

I am happy for them. One side of the coin, you see an Affair and think "What an Ahole, screw him, your better than that, move on, you deserve a man who cherishes you". but on the other side of that coin, you have a chance to create a stronger bond, to forgive and move on, which is the HARDEST thing any of us will ever be able to do. If the man, is truly repentive and see's his error, this is something that should be worked towards (for both a man and female, when your partner cheats). In a fast amount of time, you will find out if its reconcilable. On another note, I wish I saw more couples in the Media Spotlight, STAY TOGETHER after things like this. They are models of our world, and should try to show us the Harder path, the better path, the more righteous path.

Fair play to his wife for staying with him. He had a fling....His wife was the woman who meant the most to him. I don't agree with him that between forty and fifty cheating is forgivable. No, it's not !!! You are a mature man. Your wife is beautiful....You are lucky to have her. She's just a gem. Just to think what you did to your wife Johnny Depp did to Vanessa for the same reasons. He saw her face and was besotted...but look what she did to him....She didn't love him.... This guy's wife does really love him, had she not of worked to forgive him just think of all the hearts he would've broken. I think he should love what he's got, and not what he gets, in short, a quick fix...

I wish people would finally realize that Diana cheated on Charles, by her own admission on camera, at least once, at least a year before Charles and Camilla began their relationship. Yes, C and C had a fling years earlier, but that was long before Charles met Diana. Camilla was already crazy about Andrew Parker-Bowles at the time and was determined to marry him. The idea that C and C didn't marry when they were both single because she wasn't good enough for the royal family is nonsense.

Also having seen some of the Lily James comments below, I'm sure she's not a bad person. We don't know what went on between them and it must have been hard for her if she actually believed his marriage was over and was in love with him. So it must have hurt her too. I'm not anti "affairs" or people falling for someone else, which sometimes happens, but rather not understanding when there's no loyalty/love of that perosn either, because otherwise it's kind of like well what the hell was the point? Sex? He probably did like her but maybe he was worried about it when the press found out and wanted to keep up a front? Either way, as far as I'm concerned, both women deserve to be treated better. If Lily wanted a relationship with him, she would have been hurt too.
