David Letterman apologized to his wife while taping his late-night show Monday, an audience member told RadarOnline.com.
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: The Woman At Center Of Letterman Extortion Plot
During a taping Monday of the Late Show, David Letterman apologized for the attention and inquiries that have been aimed at his staff and family. Below is an excerpt:
“I’m terribly sorry that I put the staff in that position. Inadvertently, I just wasn’t thinking ahead. And, moreover, the staff here has been wonderfully supportive to me, not just through this furor, but through all the years that we’ve been on television and especially all the years here at CBS, so, again, my thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I’ve gotten myself involved in.
“Now the other thing is my wife, Regina. She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it. And at that point, there’s only two things that can happen: either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me.”
Audience member Tracy Frye, of Dallas, Texas told RadarOnline.com: "David apologized to his wife and his colleagues at Worldwide Pants. He said he didn't really think through what he said on-air last week and how it would affect his co-workers.” He also apologized because he now realized that people would speculate he was involved with women on the show with whom he had no sexual relationship.
Letterman’s Alleged Extortionist Lived Above His Means
According to Frye, “He made a direct apology to his wife and said: ‘I have a lot of work to do’. “I think he was being sincere."
Letterman is taping two shows Monday.

Dave is not the victim he portrays himself to be. He was cheating on his GF with a girl who was living with her man. That is pretty sleazy. No wonder the guy extorted Dave. He was messing with his woman.

What is she doing with such an old man

I have a feeling that Dave's wife knew what he was like before she married him and I think this was all in the past too. Hopefully she will forgive him and he treats her like a saint from now on along with the boy.

He cheated on her while he was going with her. Nice guy. He is "easy" to get, I don't like "easy": men, they usually cheat.
