My wife and I are big fans and were saddened by this news. Good luck to Sara in the future.

I thought Sara Evans and her husband were Christians. Her husband is not a Christian if he is doing and looking at porno stuff especially in front of his children and also drinking alcohol in front of them to excess. I thought they had a good and happy marriage like Faith Hill and her husband. Fooled again I guess.

From the news in their local paper, it seems her husband has a need to engage in adultery and the stupidity needed to post nude pictures of himself on the internet requesting partners for three way and anal sex. I don't think any woman needs to put up with a husband like this.

Well, another one bites the dust. I might just win this competition after all.

There is another benefit as well. Sarah and her husband agreed to come on my talk show. Be sure to tune in -- a fight might break out.

I just love it when I have a chance to showcase 'conservative family values'.

Jerry did Sara and her husband really agree to come on your show? I too thought they had a good marriage and were Christians and they have been on 700 club (a religious show) and said that they are. I wouldn't want alcohol around my children and I am not a Christian. I agree with Karen fooled again.

Yup. They're coming on my show -- he's bringing his new girlfriend and she's bringing her dance partner. I promise that fights will break out and the women will tear each other's clothes off. It's going to be great!

Actually, they are going to be on MY show Jerry! I know a good Christian like her would love to bear her soul and he WILL repent. Yes, he will...amen. Us Republicans are the only ones worthy and God will forgive us. It's you Democrats that caused this in the first place! Actually, Foley is REALLY a Democrat! God Bless Bush (and the money he has pushed our way!!!) Pat

Jerry SpringerOct 14th, 2006 - 02:26:45

I think global warming has turned your brain to mush, Pat. Why would a good Christian want to come on your show, anyway? I have a better idea -- why don't you join Sara, et. al. on my show and invite your butt-buddy Jerry Falwell, too.

As far as 'God bless' GDumbya goes, I really can't agree with you there. He is clearly beyond all help and the new Democratic Congress will impeach his smirking, smarmy, swaggering little self in 2007. That'll be a great show, too.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.....You know we Republicans represent good, moral values. Just ask Tom Delay! Why, we are the ones that rule the world! All of those low life liberals are shaking in their Birkenstocks and wishing they had the storm trooper brown boots we wear! Who do you think influenced Foley? Why, it was the fault of San Fransisco and the unholy sinners that wallow there! Soon, I've been told by a higher authority, it will fall into the ocean along with Nevada (Harry Reid's fault)....cleansed of it's sins and Zionist Utah will be the flagship of the Pacific. Long live Oral (or is it Orin?) Hatch!

Jerry, I accept your invitation to be on your show. (Will there be any nude oil wrestlers or cub scouts there?)

We will take the high road and not consort to the low life smut you so much love. God is on our side! Remember, Jesus loves me....but he can't stand you!!!
AMEN....Pat

The last straw that sort of broke the camel's back was Ms. Sarah was able to see in the internet the exchange of messages between Sarah's future ex and myself. Darn it, I told him to be careful. Now my reputation is totally ruined, everybody finds out that I don't go for very young men only!

Well if it makes people feel better about themselves to point out others failures and shortcomings, then so be it. Just realize that just because someone states they are of a certain faith does not mean they cannot make wrong decisions that lead astray and cause pain and destruction. The important thing is that whether one believes or not, you will stand one day and be asked about yourself not others. What are you doing when no one is looking? Hope you feel better!

I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. It is sad to see people like Jerry Springer think of themselves and how this can boost his career. Just like his dancing, he is a joke. This isn't about Republican and Democrat! It is about a family in trouble. We take divorce so lightly in this country that we forget about the pain people go through - especially the children. Wake up America. This isn't about politics or religion. It is about a painful time for a family that needs support not crude remarks.

You are a beautiful, talented person and with the faith that you have in GOD, you will get past this. GOD BLESS you and your family.

Sara-
I am a huge fan and I think you are wonderful mother. I have always admired that about you. I had my son shortly after you had yours and I love that you wrote music and sung about it. You are an inspiration to lots of moms! I admire that you are taking care of your children and putting them first. I am so sorry for the loss that you must be feeling. i hope that you find some kind of peace with all of this real soon. You are loved!

Praying for SaraOct 18th, 2006 - 03:30:18

I didn't know who Sara Evans was before 'Dancing for the Stars', but I've enjoyed her performances on the show. I am sorry that she had to leave, but her family comes first. I pray for her peace and for her family's peace. She seems like a great person and an equally great mom.

Thank you Chad and Pablo. Christians do sin. Nobody is perfect. Pornography is an illness and addiction. While eveyone is praying for Sara and her family, we need to also pray for her husband. Sara, God bless you, your family and your husband.

I will tell you he will promis it will never happen again but it will, It takes a long time to get over this and it leaves you wondering what could you have done different but the answer is nothing! He is sick and needs help that you can't give him. You will make it just fine as I have. You and the kids are in my prayer's.

Hi Sarah,
I know what it is like to deal with what you are dealing with. It is hard to make a decision as you have but you are a strong person to stand up for your children and you as an individual. Someone who cheats or looks at porn has a serious problem and will never change. They can not be trusted and you must protect your morals and standards as well as your children. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It was hard for me, you will go through a greving process and an angry stage, but chin up and keep forward, you can do it.

I just want to say that I am so shocked. I thought Sara and Craig had a perfect marriage. I know that Sara will make it through this and I pray for her and her kids. She would not go through this without substantial proof of these allegations and I hope that in the end she will be able to get past this and show will all that know and love her.

I find it very sad that Jerry and Pat have to make a forum of someone elses problems. As a mother and grandmother I find that I want to protect my children form pronogrpahy and all the harms that are out there. It isn't an issue whether you are a Christian or not the issue is what is right and wrong.
Sarah protect your children at all cost and continue to hold your head high!

Sara Evans husband has been the only stable person in their childrens lives. He was committed to raising their 3 children. While she was out galavanting around like a single person...I personally hope he sues her, takes her money and children. His life won't change any, he is the one whose been staying home taking care of the children all this time...

Shame On You SaraOct 20th, 2006 - 03:10:16

Sara, you go around showing your boobs, you can say your a christian, if that was the case, you wouldn't look like fluzzy...Maybe your family would still be together, if you had stayed home and been a wife and mother, but you were thinking about the almighty dollar and flirting with men....Your husband was home being a parent to your children while you were dancing on a t.v. show. Sara, don't you think its a little late to start worrying about your family. You are the worst kind of a woman. Dump your children and husband, then go out and find someone else...You don't deserve your husband or your children...when you get rid of your husband who will stay home and take care of you sweet children. You should be ashamed of yourself.

That's Right 'Shame on you Sara.' She should be home barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, reading from the good book while cooking dinner and waiting on her perv husband like a good christian woman. While she is at it, she should be fetching him a beer, and treating him like the Lord and Master that he is. Geez, get a life

patriciaOct 20th, 2006 - 16:12:18

why do the jerry springers of the world find it exciting when a marriage breaks up? why do the pat robertsons,falwell, etc, blame everything on politics? this is the last days people and satan is going about his work like a roaring lion. his attack on the sacred institution of marriage is one of his favorite schemes.

is it true the oldest child of sara's witnessed his dad and the nanny 'performing' for the camera? or did the nanny have a look alike?

if all is true that sara has stated, then two marriages-at least are destroyed.

my heart goes out to the innocent in this circus. my prayers are with all involved: sara, the addicts, the children, the parents and grandparents, etc.

I see Becca, Sandra Day and others have been weighing in about my dancing prowess, my TV show and other things. You are certainly entitled to your opinion.
What you have to understand, though, is that it's all entertainment . . . Dancing with the Stars, The Jerry Springer Show, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, anything on Fox News. It's all entertainment. There is nothing real or informative about any of it. It's all about market share and money. Some of it is benign. My show and Dancing with the Stars are pure entertainment.
Fox News, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc., are more insidious, however. They purport to be 'news', information, etc. But they offer nothing but commentary, half-truths and slanted ideology parading as 'truth'.

I just found out that Sara is a Christian. I just wonder about being a county music singer though. I think she should sing Gospel. Dont get me wrong she is a great singer I just like gospel. Anyway I everyone has a tough times sometimes. I think Sara should help her ex get closer to the Lord and he will straighten up. I just hope all this doesn't make Sara turn away from the Lord. Sara Hold On to Jesus and everything will be just fine. I have only been a Holiness Christian for a year. But I know with God all things are possible. Sara... If you ever make a Christian Album put that song on there fore me. 'With God all Things are Possible you can mount your wings and soar'.
