Interesting theory - a bit far fetched though!

Why did Olivia Newton-John act as she did? Tabloid Baby theory: Either Olivia Newton-John didn’t know he was missing—or she helped him abscond to a place like Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Because Patrick McDermott was a beard. An employee. A big, strong, handsome man whose job it was to be at her side at premieres, in articles, and Hollywood myth, for a number of reasons that go beyond what she does in her private life. Patrick McDermott played his part, and then drove home to Van Nuys.

They say ONJ is dating some millionaire buisnessman now so why would Patrick have been her "beard"? I would be surprised if he took off to get away from his debts.

from the first of the situation, I was thinking maybe she helped him leave the country and look like he was missing. I mean she doesnt report it. then again they were broke up. but what if she DID help him get away and thats why she is refusing to talk, incase hes found and there is some kind of court case where she doesnt want to incriminate herself by lying about it? I dont know, still very weird situation there.

i have never once considered that olivia might be gay? have i missed something?

 

[Amraann]

That was just a link from a gossip blog not a true media source.

She wasn't even dating him or on the same continent when he went missing.

 

[EdinburghLass]

They weren't dating Amraan? I thought they had been together for 9 years?

Kelly - I don't think you missed anything. This was just someone elses opinion "(albeit far fetched!) and I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else thought.

I personally think he has taken off because of his financial problems and I do not believe Olivia is gay.

 

[ShowerSinger]

It seems he's alive and in Mexico.
He was seen by 3 different people.
Can't find the link, now.
Maybe someone here can.
I'm not surprised by this, though.
Still, a terrible thing to do to those who care about him.

OLIVIA Newton-John's missing boyfriend Patrick McDermott is believed to be alive and living in Mexico.

A Daily Telegraph investigation in Mexico has found three separate witnesses who have seen McDermott on Mexico's remote Baja Peninsula as recently as 10 days ago.


McDermott is now suspected of faking his death on a fishing trip last year to escape mounting debts and possible jail time over thousands of dollars in unpaid child support.

The sightings come as a grand jury prepares to investigate the disappearance of McDermott, who was Newton-John's boyfriend for nine years. The Daily Telegraph can reveal fishing boat Freedom took a previously unknown stop that would have allowed McDermott to jump ship and escape on land.

The Telegraph says the sightings come as a US grand jury prepares to investigate the disappearance of McDermott, who was Newton-John's boyfriend for nine years.

The paper reveals that the fishing boat Freedom made a previously unknown stop on an overnight fishing trip out of San Pedro in Los Angeles on June 30 last year that would have allowed McDermott to jump ship and escape on land.

three independent witnesses report seeing olivia newton john's boyfriend in mexico - last sighting 10 days ago. sounds like he faked his death afterall

 

[michelle]

yes it does seem that way.... http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1200836,00.html

 

[deanws]

What a creep! He deserves jail time. I hate people who bail on their responsibilities as a parent! How could she love him, when he is not supporting his kid? Sounds like another loser to me.

 

[narlacat]

Poor Libby.
She is such a lovely person and has had so much bad luck in her life.
I think alot of people knew he didn't really fall overboard.
That is an awful thing for someone to do...let their lover/loved ones think they have died when they were really just skipping town

I agree! She is a beautiful person with a lovely voice. She deserves better...WAY better.

 

[bakerprune64]

That's horrible. How could anybody do that to a loved one? I feel sad for her.

 

[michelle]

Its very sad, he is a very selfish person if this is indeed true. Which it seems it very well may be...

What a major jerk! A wimp and a loser!
ONJ is better off without him!!

:furious:

 

[lilsister]

The fact that he had people searching for him and poor ONJ was so vigilant in his rescue efforts makes me sooooo mad :sick: . He obviously is a slippery character and, if this is him and he is truly found, he should face some type of consequence. That beautiful lady has been through so much...if it is true...what an arrogant . (I hope I can say this on WS...sorry if I was out of line).:bang:

 

[ellen13]

I knew it! I think this is the only crime I knew for sure in my gut!! I knew he was alive-just knew it!! So what will happen to him now. Poor ONJ. Love her. I feel bad for her. How deceitful! !! She could do so much better! I hope she has moved on.
