My marriage dissolved before it became sport for the press.
Meg detailed the experience further in The Guardian in 2003:
This thing happened, and I was all over the tabloids, and I walked through the lobby, and the place stopped. People stopped talking and stared at me. And then I got to the elevator, and instead of falling apart and going, 'Ooh,' I just started laughing. This thing that people are so afraid of all the time—public censure or disapproval—has no power if you know yourself.
