Norwegian bronze-medalist skier uses TV interview to confess that he cheated on his girlfriend

[True Dough]

Some are condemning him for this because they feel that A) it overshadowed the moment belonging to his gold-medal winning skier teammate and B) his girlfriend didn't deserve to have the international spotlight on her by his choosing to create this scene.

Apparently he has apologized for making this about him and his troubles.

Thoughts?

1. well - that's some pretty lame assed behavior

and I guess I'm having a hard time parsing how a particular 'moment' or 'emotion' would somehow lend perspective or understanding ...

I guess extreme narcissism is not only the province of certain American politicians .. ?
And - am I to understand, given comments, that there are actually people attempting to defend ... ?

5. If true, I hope his girlfriend will realize how lucky she is. He's a selfish little jerk and she's much better off
