I'm really bummed about the timing of this, not that it's ever a good time! I was really thinking he might have a shot at Entertainer at the CMAs and now I'm not sure how this will affect that. I also was really excited to see how his opening numbers would be for his CD in 2 weeks, but now I don't know how many people are going to not buy it after all this. This is just all really sucky all the way around :(

Just read this...
"A second woman has come forward claiming she had an affair with country singer Jason Aldean.
Kathryn Mallory, New York resident, fashion blogger, self-proclaimed “social media queen” (Twitter handle @kathryn_mallory) and current Brand Manager for Lacolletta claims she had a fling with Aldean during his My Kinda Party tour stop in Darien, NY back on August 25th."
I'll be curious to hear from people attending shows in the near future as to the reaction when he comes on stage...any booing, etc.

The plot thickens. :o

The minute this whole thing came out yesterday I knew there were going to be more allegations like this, whether they're true or not. Any time something like this happens there's bound to be more allegations. This may be where things get a little messier. I don't think his crappy excus.... "appology" is going to be enough if this keeps going.

Oh no, I was afraid something like this might happen. There have been many comments on facebook about this isn't the first time something like this has happened with him. I guess it's going to be hard to know whether it is true or not. This just really saddens me. Ugh.

She doesn't deserved to be publicly embarrassed like this. And continually as this keeps evolving. I feel so sorry for her. :(

Even the most secure country music wives out there are probably starting to worry about their husbands. That life is definitely not for everybody to be sure, and it's hard even when there are no scandals, but when one breaks out, I'm sure the microscopes are out even more.

This is coming from the same blog that declared Jason's wife was filing for divorce and that Jason and the American idol chick met through Kelly Clarkson, both false claims. I would wait to see how it unfolds before jumping into conclusions.

Unfortunately, this happens with way too many musical groups/artists, it's just that we usually don't hear about it. I personally know of an event which happened with one of my friends and another popular married male country artist after a concert. It's sad, very sad, especially on their families. Hopefully this whole event with Jason can help shine the light and raise awareness of this type of thing happening. It's a tough lifestyle, but it still doesn't make this behavior okay.

Wow. So many double standards out there. Bottom line: Cheating is wrong. Somehow I feel that people are more accepting of a man doing it than a woman. Which seems strange to me. For each person on here who thinks he did wrong is someone else who is saying that his apology made it better or that his wife has to judge him not us. Why is it that some people are giving him a pass on this while it seemed like the entire world was against LeAnn Rimes when she did it? Makes me wonder...

JMHO, but if I were him, I would cancel all appearances for the next several weeks, go home, and try to save my marriage. If it's not too late already. Marriages can come back from things like this, but only with a lot of effort and commitment.

This is just all really sucky all the way around :( I didn't hear about this at all, until today. I don't think it'll affect his career at all. It's not exactly as if he's recording songs like Craig Campbell's "Family Man" or a Christian music artist. He may end up divorced or something, who knows, but I doubt it. Even Alan Jackson had a time where he did stupid things. ALL Artists, male and Female, who are famous have these kinds of temptations and are only human and act sometimes.

How is saying you're glad he made an apology & his wife needs to judge him, not us, giving him a pass? lol what are we supposed to do, say we're never buying his music again? I wouldn't listen to much music or have any friends if I expected people to be perfect. The guy did a crappy thing, no one's saying he didn't. He needs to suffer the consequences of his actions, obviously, and I think his wife should be the one to determine what those consequences are, not fans. And yeah, I agree if more credible allegations come out, I think he should cancel a few shows and spend some time at home. This all just makes me sad & especially for his wife. It's bad enough when you deal with things like this privately, but when it's all done in public, it's an awful thing.

he doesn't have anything going on till the end of the month.
A Little Rant : You people really need to use some common sense on these reports. Gossiping Pens is NOT LEGIT !!! That Kathryn girl mentioned DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING MENTIONED ON HER TWITTER!!
The fact alone that some of yall are using Twitter as a source scares the hell out of me.
Not Trying to Be Rude , but Come On !

^I don't think anyone assumed that claim was true. At least I didn't. My point was just that these are the kinds of things he's more than likely going to have to deal with, because once there's one allegation against a celebrity there will most likely be more.

Bottom line: Cheating is wrong. Exactly. Doesn't matter who, what, where, or how many drinks you had. It's still wrong.

As a married man, I will say that "making out" is most definitely cheating and something I, personally, would never even consider doing with any woman besides my wife.

Is cheating acceptable? No. Is the fact that he cheated/cheats going to change my opinion on him or his music? No. It's not like I am his wife, lover, or a close family friend. Who am I to judge him at all?

Bottom line: Cheating is wrong. Exactly. Doesn't matter who, what, where, or how many drinks you had. It's still wrong. I agree. The unfortunate thing is that there is certainly a double standard involved when it comes to public (fan) and industry reactions to cheating scandals. It seems the bigger star you are in the industry, the more the industry and fans 'overlook' the cheating. Some stars get slammed for it (LeAnn Rimes). Other stars - like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw - are praised like heroes in the press and by fans & those in the industry. (It is widely reported that Faith 'pulled a LeAnn Rimes' two times before forming the 'perfect wife/mother' image with Tim.) Sadly, most of the double standards seem to go against the female artists and cheating by men, and especially superstars, is overlooked. Look at the most famous stars in country music - Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, etc. - their careers weren't hurt by their scandals. Some of their careers clearly benefited from their inappropriate actions. Jason Aldean isn't as big as some of those artists, but, even though I'm not a fan, he's pretty much one of the biggest stars out there right now. Jason Aldean's career might be hurt temporarily, but he won't suffer the same wrath as LeAnn Rimes. He's a man, he's a bigger star who is on a career roll, and he apologized. That may be enough for the industry (and fans) to 'forgive and forget' rather quickly. Do I believe Jason Aldean's apology and believe he's sincere? No. I think he's only apologizing because he got caught and wants to preserve his career. IMO, cheating is not a "mistake" or "screw up." It's a purposeful act. What I think doesn't matter though. What truly matters is what his family thinks. I hope whatever he did or didn't do was 'worth it' to him. The news is not only on country news sites, it's also on mainstream news sites.As someone said before me, I'm sure his family is humiliated right now.

Whoa now, let's not get carried away. All that's been confirmed so far is one incident, and a drunken one at that. Cheating is always wrong, but premeditated cheating is way worse. Is cheating acceptable? No. Is the fact that he cheated/cheats going to change my opinion on him or his music? No. It's not like I am his wife, lover, or a close family friend. Who am I to judge him at all? Well said. He's not the first to make this mistake, he won't be the last. Country music history is littered with adulterers, even good guys like Alan Jackson. I don't look for this to hurt him much at all in the long run.

That may be enough for the industry (and fans) to 'forgive and forget' rather quickly. It's not quite that simple. LeAnn has done some fairly bizarre things lately, and I think a lot of people are more put off by that than by the original cheating incident.
