Roberts said she did not write about extra-marital affairs or A-Rod’s sexuality. “I never wrote anything about his bedroom life,” Roberts said. “That was pure speculation on other people’s part.”
- …deviant personal life and disintegration of his family…
- …a man torn by his obligation to his family and his insatiable hedonism…
- …his recent relationship with Madonna…
- …off-field misadventures…
- …breaking up his twelve-year marriage to party with Madonna…
How is it possible that Harper Collins would have all this information on A-Rod’s personal life in their “A-Rod” description, and not have any of it in the book itself? Not bloody likely. And if that really is the case, then bookbuyers should ask for their money back on a false advertising claim!
Here are a few other things that Roberts said on Dan Patrick’s radio show that I raised my eyebrows over:
“He said as a sophomore he could barely bench press 100 pounds,” Roberts said. “Six months later he’s bulked up 20-25 pounds and he had increased his level from 100 pounds to 310 pounds. That’s a pretty shocking leap for six months. That, in conjuntion (sic) with the reporting that I did with [his high school] teammates would make it irrefutable to me, not a ‘may have.'”
How is that evidence “irrefutable”, when there could be a very simple explanation for increased weight gain. It’s called puberty.
Besides, given that Harper’s book description talks about “lies and contradictions in his life,” why would she assume A-Rod wasn’t exaggerating in retelling that story?
Roberts also denied knowing how other media outlets got an advance copy of the book, because, as the show report said, “she doesn’t even have a book in her hands.” That’s just a ridiculous statement. Does she think we were all born yesterday?
And gosh, wouldn’t you know it? Selena’s book publication date has been pushed up a week. Shocker!
Look, A-Rod does have a problem with telling the truth. But the author passing judgment on him is not exactly a straight shooter herself.
