It Was Real Sex, Not Just Porn?

Filed under: TV News > Love Line

tea__opt1.jpg

We had a feeling there was more to his story!

The UK's Daily Mail reports that admitted sex addict David Duchovny had been cheating, in a traditional sense, on his wife, actress Tea Leoni.

Leoni is said to have grown suspicious of the Californiacation star's behavior and after questioning him on a number of occasions, he finally admitted that he had been cheating on her.

Duchovny allegedly agreed to seek treatment after Tea threatened to divorce him. According to an insider: "He said Tea gave him an ultimatum: Get treatment or our marriage is over."

What a cad!

Duchovny has previously insisted he has never been unfaithful to Tea, although he recently admitted he had often questioned whether fidelity was possible.

The admitted addict has checked into The Meadows facility in Arizona and is currently completing a 35 day course to help him kick his bad "habits".

    ummmmmmmmm have you SEEN californication???? MAYBE he should find another job… that's like have a "former" crackhead work in a crackhouse; just not a good idea all the way around



  2. 2

  3. 3

    He's creepy…



  5. 5

    Wow, what a dissapointment. I thought they were one of the good hollywood marriages. Yeah he might need to rethink that show he is on. If you keep going to the barber shop one of those times you are going to get a haircut.



  6. 6

    U gotta wonder, WHY after 11 years of marriage he's just getting treatment???? His reputation as a sex actor goes back to when he did a small role in "Working Girl." Whatever. He's a guy, just with stronger hormones. I suppose. Maybe he should just be single.



  7. 7

    gawd… LEAVE HIM!! shes too pretty for him…



  8. 8

    co-ed facility?



  9. 9

    Duchovney is the STINK MASTER!

    He did admit years ago on the Howard Stern radio show that he had a big dong adn that it was a problem for him in college, so I wasnt too surprised :)

    I think you may be addicted to sex….

  23. 23

    Gotta respect the guy–at least he speaks honestly about where he's coming from. Hope everything works out for their family.

  24. Sammy says – reply to this


    24

    What an excuse!!! He is not addicted to sex he just got caught!!!



  25. 25

    So, that makes it ok? Cheat on your spouse, then go to rehab and everything's honkey-dorey after that????
    WTF?????

  26. Sammy says – reply to this


    26

    Re: PLEZZZ – They tie your hands together and they also make you watch big people and old people have sex so you will be grossed out!!!



  27. 27

    I guess I never thought for one minute that he wasn't cheating. The rumors have been out there for at least a couple of years. Usually when a rumor continues for a long period of time and doesn't stop, it is usually true.



  28. 28

    Oh gawd! It's bad behavior, not an addiction!



  29. 29

    Maybe i shouldnt make light of this BUT……. arent ALL men addicted to sex?? I guess some just can control it better then others.



  30. 30

    the guy cheated on his wife,like most men do, who say's that's a sex addiction? I definitely think something more is going on here.



  31. 31

    Hey Perezzle, I remember a "Not So Blind Item" a while ago that I *think* was about Duchovny cheating on his wife with his tennis instructor. So this comes as no surprise to me.



  32. 32

    You are SO late on this Perez. His cheating ways were a Blind Vice on another site SIX months ago.



  33. 33

    Hank Moody is a real person, apparently

  34. bouge says – reply to this


    34

    Where's my Andy Candy today?



  35. 35

    Cheating on the hot Tea Leoni, don't get it unless she is frigid. Guess no more teabagging Tea for him. Maybe the real David D was abducted by aliens and the porn-addicted cheating David is an alien double out to impregnate young bimbos with alien sperm ! The truth is out there…



  36. 36

    "treatment" for cheating…now I've heard everything. And the so-called sex addict cop out?? Not buying it. Get rid of his loser ass Tea, you're too good for that.



  37. 37

    He looks awfully sweaty. Ewww.
    I woulda dumped his ass on the spot.
    Sex addiction with real people! Who knows how many ppl he's been with. And what kinds of trashy ppls.
    YUCKY. JUST DUMP HIM!

  38. bk says – reply to this


    38

    He must have been tempted by all the hot naked chicks he had sex scenes with on californication.



  39. 39

    People weren't meant to be together forever and ever. That's why men cheat. Believe me, having been married for yonks, I say monogamy is dull. And she'll never leave…the lifestyle is too addictive.



  40. 40

    Wow…still a shocker. He sure knew how to hide it…til now that is.



  41. 41

    So besides being a sex addict he should also get threated for being a compulsive liar??? mmm interesting….

  42. Memi says – reply to this


    42

    Well she is a better woman than i could be. I do not think I could forgive. Well maybe forgive eventually but not forget. I would get a divorce. And only 35 days! Whatever.Poor Leoni



  43. 43

    Wow… I never thought he was "that guy"…how do you treat sex addiction anyway?



  44. 44

    I am a huge Duchovny fan, but break it down. Isn't sex addiction with real people during marriage….well just A LOTTA CHEATING GOING ON? The whole sex addiction with porn and now true story is just a smoke screen to doing a lot of the nasty with a lot of people. I applaud these two for wanting to work it out, if they do, but hell, just say he was cheating. How dumb do you think the PR spin and public need to be….and will going into rehab stop this?



  45. 45

    Also, I think it's funny people say she's hot. I love her acting and she has great attributes, but come on, EYE CANDY she is not. She is skin and bones. I swear, I thought David liking her made him gay. Talk about a dead ringer for a tranny….with that high strung wired overly scrawny muscled bod and dude's mouth.



  46. 46

    Tell us something we didn't already know. Tea looks smokin' hot in that pic.



  47. 47

    If I were him I'd cheat too, you all know he was so screwing Gillian Anderson. I mean seriously go look at the pictures from the red carpet at the LA premiere they were practically making out. I can't believe you haven't broken that story yet Perez, its a known fact in the industry that David and Gillian have been getting it on for years.



  48. 48

    UK's Daily Mail>?? What, do they have the budget to come over and do the investigative journalism necessary for this kind of fact finding mission??? I doubt it. Now you're quoting tabloid fodder as fact and that, combined with your homo-erotic reporting and political bashing has turned my stomach on this site. Your site is ridiculously crowded with CRAP these days that has nothing to do with celeb/hollywood gossip



  49. 49

    He's so hot good lord. From the X-Files episode "The Unnatural": "Don't worry about your horribly overdue XXX bills"…he wrote this episode haha.

    Anyways is it bad that I wish I got a piece of him when I could?



  50. 50

    Um HELLO divorce him anyway?



  51. 51

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    It would be kinda bad ass if Gillian and David were screwing behind the scenes.



  52. 52

    Re: danascully

    Yup it would be cool, it actually is cause they so have, people in the industry talk. Go on the hunt for some recent candid pictures of them and you'll see what I'm talking about. Gillian and David have been on and off for 16 years, and honestly who could blame them, they're HOT people.



  53. 53

    Didn't we read on your site that he was hittin his tennis instructor?



  54. 54

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    They most definitely have and everyone knows it. They've been caught so many times I'm surprised the story didn't break years ago. *snort* Those two were far too close for comfort on both Los Angeles and London red carpets, not to mention what went on inside the theatres.



  55. 55

    Re: flatsorheels

    Were you there too!!! **cough** Grauman's bathroom **cough**

    Yeah I tend to go to single bathrooms with my co-stars too.;-)



  56. 56

    Re: pinkindie

    Well, regarding the tennis instructor, they must've been rehearsing their lines for their big screen reunion in between rounds on the court. As for what she was teaching him … well, it wasn't tennis.



  57. 57

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    Were you there too??? **cough** Grauman's bathroom **cough**

    i tend to go to single bathrooms with my co-star too. ;-)



  58. 58

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    Not only do I always sneak a costar into a single bathroom with me [I mean really, who doesn't?], I'm a big fan of holding their hand and grabbing their ass when I think no one is looking. It's just … business.



  59. 59

    I think that whatever he did we need to be respectful of their marriage. I think she is HIS WIFE and that THEY TOOK VOWS. We all aren't perfect and she clearly loves him enough to stand BESIDE HIM DURING THIS ORDEAL. We shouldn't judge them in any way. I think we all should wish them well and pray he gets the treatment he needs.



  60. 60

    Re: flatsorheels

    Don't know how old you are flatsorheels, but were you around in the late 90's?? I mean I know I always kiss my co-star before I kiss my boyfriend when I win an Emmy.

    How about those 97' Golden Globes, Hollywood is a small town after all and word travels fast when people have a good romp in their limo before getting dropped of for the show.



  61. 61

    Re: Perezssister

    If standing by him means being at several Billy Bob Thorton concerts while he's canoodling with his co-star/baby mama on the red carpet, then yes she is most definitely standing by her man.



  62. 62

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    Wasn't really around in the '90s, but oh yes, this town talks. Especially about those two. Limos, trailers, bathrooms … must be hot.

    As for the wife, if people only knew what went into him marrying her so abruptly, hell would freeze over and the several parties involved know that. Something tells me THIS story is quite the opposite of the wife taking a page from Tammy Wynette.



  63. 63

    Re: flatsorheels

    Not only his abrupt marriage, but her first marriage, and what led to the dissolve of her second marriage. Good thing he was in an entire different country when that happened. ;-)

    "The answers are there you just have to know where too look." :D



  64. 64

    What an arsehole!! Who does this guy think he is?



  65. 65

    He's not an asshole, he's just human.



  66. 66

    Werent there a few blind items about DaviD Duchovy sleeping with one of his co-stars or yoga/pilates instructor? Most of his work outside of X-files is sex related. I agree with "hottie" he needs another job.



  67. 67

    how sad..hopefully he gets better..she seems like a great woman..and 11 years..wow..



  68. 68

    Re: flatsorheels

    David and Gillian? Really?

    *

    Oh, David. Get better.



  69. 69

    David is not different than most married men, preoccupied with the tail they aren't supposed to have. Wake up, World, monogamy is unnatural and enforced by society and ultimately makes both men (and women) unhappy. It's not like he
    invented cheating. Geez……



  70. 70

    Their prickly relationship was a huge deal for years, their 'not being friends or friendly' on set. I am shocked they'd sleep together. I think David acts like he is way too good for Gillian.



  71. 71

    Re: bitapeach

    They were known to have quite a rapport in the beginning. The "prickly" relationship did not begin until around 1997 and, trust me, there are some interesting reasons for that. However, love and hate are not opposites … they are fueled by each other.

    Regardless of whether or not David acts like he's too good for Gillian, it seems in reality he thinks she's too good for him. *shrug* They are really complicated. I've just heard the same things from so many people, and seen enough on my own, that I truly am stunned this story has largely been kept under wraps.



  72. 72

    MOST MEN CHEAT. Now we gotta call it 'sex addiction' to make ourselves feel better?? So he fucked around on that fug of a wife of his…so do lots of guys. It's a sad fact of life. I think she bullied him into rehab to save face.

    I still love ya Mulder :(



  73. 73

    Re: ChrisInKy – Exactly-

    He promised to be faithful to her and stay with her through thick and thin when he married her. Sex can become an addiction just like anything else. Too much of even a good thing can be bad, especially if he's begun seeking it outside his marriage and his fidelity to his WIFE is endangered. She's smart to give him this ultimatum: "stop cheating and get help, or I leave".



  74. 74

    Re: flatsorheels – than why the hell there's no shred of evidence. not one single picture with them in a *cough* position. i'd like to see some proof. this is Hollywood. nothing stays under wraps.



  75. 75

    When will you ever learn you cannot trust one word inside UK's Mail.They get sued for libel about 6 times a month.



  76. 76

    Re: flatsorheels

    Yup I most definitely I have seen my share of encounters with those two, especially when I worked on the Fox lot, and let me just say they were more than just co-stars.

    As to why there is no shred of evidence or pictures, there has been but people are usually inclined not to believe it because of the magazines it is printed on and sometimes the celebrity/celebrities involved strike deals with the photo agencies for exclusives if they don't want certain things on print. Has anyone seen that lately People always gets the exclusive when it comes to David and Gillian? Thats why its been hard.

    Let me tell you there is so much stuff out there and if it ever comes out everyone will be floored, lets just say that not only have they been having this relationship on and for 16 years, they share three very adorable things in common. ;-)



  77. 77

    Re: bla bla bla

    In terms of the paparazzi, I don't know what they have or don't have. I have heard that they do have photos, but from what I know the two actors in question have very hardcore lawyers keeping this at bay. [For something of this caliber, the stars' lawyers would have to be contacted before the story runs and at that time there are several ways to keep the story out of the press.] All I can say is, the matter of the affair is not speculative. I have seen with my own eyes not only [personal] photos but highly questionable interaction. I also find it doubtful that the various first-hand stories I've heard from a range of people in this business, all of which correlate to the others, are coincidence.

    These two are good people and I really do hurt for them. That seems to be the general consensus and perhaps that is why people talk but nobody would ever offer hardcore proof to the outside world. [Just in case you're wondering, Perez, neither would I. ;-) ] They've been through a lot and I hope nobody ever knows most of what has happened. However, the notion that this is not going on or that he has been faithful to his wife [his former co-star is not his only betrayal] is so far from the truth.



  78. 78

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    You've got balls for that last insinuation, nevergonnagetit, but I can't say I haven't heard such things myself.



  79. 79

    Re: flatsorheels

    What can I say, I'm ballsy, living in this town has taught me that. :-)



  80. 80

    Re: nevergonnagetit – are you freaking kidding me????? do you even realize what you're saying in the last part???? noone in the right mind would believe that.



  81. 81

    you know even though there is no hard proof, they have such undeniable chemistry that I have never seen before. Your posts are killing me! Do you really believe they were/are still together? Plus they have 3 things in common???? Ah if only you could tell me



  82. 82

    Re: bla bla bla

    I never kid. I have very good reason to believe/know that, that is the truth. Never discount a paper trail.



  83. 83

    Re: goonyagoodthing

    More than believe it I know it!!! I'm not the only one who sees/hears things, its a small town and everyone knows it, even Perez. There are so many details that can't be discussed because when you know these things you want to protect them.



  84. 84

    Re: nevergonnagetit

    But David get a divorce or not get a divorce???



  85. 85

    Re: nevergonnagetit – don't get me wrog, i would love it to be true — the 3 adorable things that they have in common. but…c'mon. about the first and second thing there were/are alwyas suspicios, but the third??? they weren't even on the same continent. doing this on and off for 16 years would make them both hypocrite and liars. will us, the common mortals ever learn the truth and see proof of all this?
    is David's rehab in connection with this?



  86. 86

    Re: nevergonnagetit – i meant to say that there're suspicions about the first and the third thing, but the second???
    my fingers sometimes don't listen, sorry!!!



  87. 87

    Re: nevergonnagetit
    Is there anyway other then perez that I could discuss this with you?



  88. 88

    Re: goonyagoodthing
    that is a very good question. wanted to ask it myself…



  89. 89

    this is actually killing me… I'm a loser I know!



  90. 90

    come on guys! give us more answers. we are dying here. can't you see? :(
    Perez why aren't you on the story? :)



  91. 91

    Re: bla bla bla

    Aah, I know!! Speaking for myself, there is so much to tell and obviously with this present story it is VERY tempting to tell all … but a lot of what happened should never have even really reached my ears [and I definitely should not have seen what I've seen]. For me personally, I think I've said as much as I'm comfortable with. I know that's so frustrating. Divulging anymore would seriously betray the trust of those around me. I will say that "nevergonnagetit" hasn't said anything that I haven't heard myself, including the three things in common. As for separate continents, we are discussing two people who travel for work and who find ways to be in the same part of the world at the same time … so yeah. There's that. ;-)



  92. 92

    But the affair it's over now or not???????????????



  93. 93

    Re: allthings

    What they have has always been ongoing, it just depends on them really. They have a very complicated relationship, but there is love and respect there too. This has not only been told to me by people who are close to them but from my own personal experiences with them as well. I know that there is doubt and honestly I don't know what I could say that would make that go away, I can just share what I have already posted here and you can draw your own conclusions from that.



  94. 94

    Re: allthings

    As far as I know, it's an ongoing thing and will continue to be as such. It's not continuous, of course, but it never really ends. It's a complicated situation between two very complicated people. They are both wonderful people who don't intend to hurt others with this "affair" [that word just doesn't even seem proper to describe what they have], they're just drawn to one another in a very powerful way. Perhaps that doesn't make sense to most, but it is what it is.



  95. 95

    is tea aware of it? and is that the reason he's gone to rehab. The more I read this the more I believe it as I've heard it from so many sources



  96. 96

    Re: goonyagoodthing

    I don't know Tea personally, so I can't really say for certain if she knows or not. It seems as though she does and, given all that has happened over years, I would be pretty shocked if she didn't know.



  97. 97

    David is a sex addict, or all of this is a cover-up because he wants a divorce but keep the money?



  98. 98

    Re: flatsorheels
    David is a sex addict, or all of this is a cover-up because he wants a divorce but keep the money?



  99. 99

    Re: nevergonnagetit – Sad for TL and the kids. I hope DD can find a solution, because physical or not, addiction screws with brain chemistry and non-substance addictions can be just as difficult to break.

    As for DD & GA, speaking of "I Want to Believe", ;-) . Seriously. Since you & FlatsorHeels are in the know can you at least hint as to why there was the abrupt marriage in '97. WHY would they pass off 'shared somethings' as others' responsibilities. Neither seems that cruel. Complicated doesn't begin to describe it. I don't doubt the on/off though. In all the recent appearances/junkets I thought he seemed to be the pining one, wanting her now that she seems so centered, gorgeous and happy with her life. (Not to mention he also looked like crap; beat down, run down, and now we know what was hitting the fan at home, its no wonder). SHARE more about the bathroom story. Please!! My curious is piqued. You two had me at hello. LOL.
