Bruce Springsteen has reportedly split from his wife of 20 years, Patti Scialfa
deb...@comcast.net
Scialfa, and started a new relationship with a Sept. 11 widow.
Friends of the musician claim Springsteen and Scialfa have separated in
secret, after he fell for a redhead he met when he organized the
September 11 telethon, "America: A Tribute to Heroes."
A source tells the New York Post, "They're separated, but everyone has
been sworn to secrecy. We're not supposed to talk about it."
Although Springsteen enjoyed a recent vacation with Scialfa and their
three children, he has been spotted near his New Jersey home with the
mystery woman.
Scialfa's mother, Victoria, tells the newspaper, "I don't know anything
about it; I don't want to talk about it."
A rep for the singer has refused to comment.

Personally, I'm not surprised.
I remember when Springsteen's relationship to Scaflia started.
He was married to someone else (a model; forget her name now).
He was screwing Scaflia behind her back.
I remember hearing the marriage ended when his wife literally found him
in his underwear with Scaflia.
I always liked him as a musician, but my opinion of him personally took
a dive after hearing that.
He's probably been screwing around for years.

Yeah, it shouldn't be a surprise, but it kinda is.

I found another comment on this from The Boston Herald . . .
"Bruce's pals told the Post they don't believe the reports.
"Bruce and Patti are very much partners,"' said one. "They go
at it a lot and fight, but they also work at it a lot.. . . Patti is a
strong woman. They are not going anywhere.""
http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTrack/view.bg?articleid=154391
Now when "a friend" is saying that they "go at it a lot and fight", I
think it's a pretty safe bet that this smoke has some fire attached to
it.
By the way, it's very funny to read that "friend's" quote in the voice
of Silvio from The Sopranos (that's who I think it is, by the way . . .
Steve Van Zandt, guitarist for the E Street Band).
Anyway, isn't this just karma for Scialfa? I've never liked her, by
the way. I always got heavy "Yoko" vibes from her.
I'm just wondering when Bruce gets his lumps.
If this is true, Scialfa's gonna have one helluva country album in her
over all of this. If she can sing, it could be really big . . . . . .
and actually good (as far as country albums go).
So I guess if she did that, put out an album of songs about how he
broke her heart, and sang about what a scumbag he was, while hitting
the charts with it, as well as taking him to the cleaners financially,
that would probably qualify as him getting his lumps.
In a way, he's a genius, though. If you're gonna leave your wife, who
better to leave her for than a 9/11 widow? Nobody can say bupkis about
"the other woman" . . . she lost her husband in one of the greatest
tragedies in US history. And he doesn't look so scummy, because he's
not leaving his wife for some model/actress. This seems, in a way,
quite human.
Either way, he seems to have some sort of if not death wish, "misery
wish".
I still don't know whether I buy this story, though. It's either too
weird to be true, or it's too weird NOT to be true.
Also, if this story is true, he was sneaking around for damn near 5
years!!! That's a long, long time. And how did he pull that off?
It's not like he could just tell his wife that he was going to the
studio . . . "Ok, I'll come with you!".
This aspect almost leads me to believe it CAN'T be true. Hell, he
can't even get his own MIC half the time, and he carried on an affair
behind her back for 5 years?!?
If this is true, and he did just that, he needs to write a book about
it.
Lastly, if you'll forgive the double-negative, these stories are never
NOT true.

I just saw Bruce on some Tv special singing the songs of Pete Seeger.
He can't sing -- he bellows. He has no subtelty and his power is
off-putting, as opposed to John Fogerty, whose power is inspiring. Nor
can he deliever a song with nuance, a la Bob Dylan and Neil Young.
I used to be a big fan. Now he's embarrassing. Maybe the divorce will
shut him up.

It took a little time because Patti Let Bruce do anything he wanted
(sexually) to her. But alas she now realizes that it is not enough. I
hoe Julianne has a big Kool-Aid smile on her face about this.
Bruce is a dog and will always be one.

My personal opinion (backed up by NOTHING factual) is that she knew.
Like I said in an earlier post, I'm sure he's been screwing around on
her for years.
My guess is that she accepted it, even if they fought.
It was obvious when they got together that she hero worshiped him. And
she was from the rock scene herself. She probably knew all rock
musicians had wives they screwed around on.
She may have been willing to accept it in exchange for being Mrs. Bruce
Springsteen.
"Keeping the split quiet" when he met someone he was actually serious
about may be as much, if not more, her idea, and for her sake, than
his.
Maybe she thinks he'll eventually come back to her, as he probably has
always done in the past.

I dunno about that. I saw the DVD of the same performances, I thought
everybody was in good form. His singing was well, just the old Bruce
schtick, same as it ever was pretty much. Just my opinion.

if you have no facts, and its just your opinion, you cannot be SURE.
Not saying you are wrong. All this is to me, is the continuation of a
previous thread: "Why would any woman hook up with or marry a guy in a
famous rock band?"
too much opportunity for free sex with attractive girls who just throw
themselves at the husband, with no regard for the wife or girlfriend back
home.
some guys resist; unfortunately, most dont.
The Ghost of Asslips
I think you've nailed it. I just naively assumed that he had to go
around sneakin' and hidin' for 5 years, but he probably didn't.
And he just might wind up back with Scialfa. I can see it now:
marriage to the 9/11 widow, which breaks up a few years later, then
some ill-advised dating for Bruce: a model here, an actress there . . .
nothing pans out.
But then, after a "chance" meeting, Springsteen rekindles his love with
Scialfa, he puts out a bittersweet, and terrible, album full of songs
about pain and redemption (an album in which Scialfa enjoys
"co-writer", "co-producer", and "other percussion: tambourine"
credits), and everybody lives miserably ever after.

No, in fact, he left his model/actress wife for Patti Scialfa.
Just because 9/11 was five years ago, that doesn't mean he's been seeing
a 9/11 widow for five years. It could have been at any time since.
The NY Times did an article about the unusual number of surviving
firefighters who broke up their marriages to take up with the widows of
other firefighters.

He hasn't written anything very good in many years. I don't mean that he
should crank out adolescent anthems like 30 years ago, but he really has
lost his rock and roll voice.
I vote for anything that produces some good writing.
Patti Scialfa is a terrific backup singer for the E Street Band, in my

Bruce Springsteen has never been able to sing. He is a decent

with him doing the Seager thing... Unbelievable that he can take any type
of music and make it work! Brillantly! Most people still expect to see a
good old rock and roll show when they go to see him, and are very
disappointed when it's not! But in Bruce's case, he has aged and his taste
change. If a person stayed the same, they would be stale! He can venture
off and do other great things with his music!
I'm so disappointed about his split with his wife. Maybe he's going through
some mid-life crisis. I hope he remember the lyrics to one of his song "If
I should fall behind, wait for me......

eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww.
I didn't know that.
He really was a first class asshole in how he handled his affair.
It was a lot like the Aniston Pitt Jolie thing. It's not just that he
dumped his wife for another woman - it was the way he dumped her, and
that he did it so publicly.
As a matter of fact, when I heard about the Pitt Jolie thing, the first
thing I thought of was Springsteen and Scaflia.
I remember reading an article about it (god was it REALLY 20 years ago?
I *am* getting old....). It had a photo of Springsteen sitting next to
his (then) wife. Scaflia was sitting next to Phillips. It was obviously
before the affair came out. Phillips was laughing at something and kind
of looking down. Springsteen and Scaflia were looking at each other
over her head with this - hard to find the word for it - smug look on
their faces.
You really got the feeling they were ENJOYING doing this right under
her nose.
When the affair became public and the marriage ended, Phillips was the
picture of class. She quietly departed. You never heard a word out of
her (that I'm aware of) about any of it. Made Scaflia look even worse.
Who, by the way, promptly got pregnant.
Of course you DID see things in articles said by "friends" of Julienne.
Like "it's hard to understand why he would leave a woman like that for
that sleazeball".
Guess it WAS a lot like the Aniston Pitt Jolie thing......

It was there that she met Springsteen in 1984. ... Legend has it that
Scialfa fell in love with Springsteen on sight, but in 1985 he married
model-actress Julianne Phillips, and Scialfa returned to Chelsea. In
1987, Springsteen asked her to tour again for "Tunnel of Love," the
album that chronicled his ailing marriage. In 1988, photographers
snapped Springsteen and Scialfa scantily clad on a Rome rooftop; in
1989 his divorce from Phillips became final;

Sonymanterbu
this!) Your point about just because they seemed happy together,
doesn't mean there's not a problem, is fair one. But even if that is
the case, it's nevertheless very cool that they still hang out together
like best friends.
My reason for asking people to back off is that it has to suck for
them and especially for their kids to read this kind of crap about
their personal lives. As a Jersey Shore boy, who's also involved with
music, I've crossed paths with Bruce quite a bit over the years. He's
always been a straight shooter in my book. I guess I may feel a little
need to stick up for the guy because I knew him when he was dirt poor
and really had nothing(but his music) and he's basically the same guy
today. He gives away tons of his money to charities all the time. I
also know that he went out on a limb with his Vote for Change tour and
he took a lot of heat from a lot of people because of that. Yesterday
when I spoke to him for a few moments, one of the things I said was
"thank you" for doing that for us. He knew that he would alienate half
of the country, but did it anyway because he was willing to take a
stand for a cause that he thought was important.
So anyway, my point is only that IMHO you guys really don't need
to slam him(some of the posts are brutal) for a story that's probably
not true. But that's just my opinion and I guess it's like James Hunter
says "People Gonna Talk"

Of course. I've bought everything he ever put out without question. I
think the Rising had several good songs and a lot of filler, was
musically somewhat monotonous, and had a lot of the same imagery. I just
didn't think it was that good. I saw him at Fenway Park for The Rising
tour, but the sound is so terrible at Fenway it was impossible to hear
what was being done.

I did read somewhere that she had something like a $10 million
settlement with a "no speaking out" clause.
I saw him perform in Providence when he first fell for Phillips. He did
a great rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" and a hot hot
hot version of "I'm on Fire." In every photo, they were attached at the
hip, and were quite infatuated, it appeared. I saw her in the wings at a
concert a year later. She was lovely, dancing quietly.

Interesting.
The whole world already saw him in his underwear with his mistress when
he had a wife at home.
I wonder what else there was to "speak out" about that was worth 10 mil
to shut Phillips up.
PeasDove
listen to his music; his treatment of his first wife. I know people
blame Patti, but he was at the very least 50% responsible. My
understanding was that he and Julianne were separated at the time. Not
that that is an excuse. If you listen to Scialfa's songs, there's an
awful lot that indicates she was at least trying to resist and suffered
a lot of guilt.
All this does not speak well of Springsteens character.
And what gets me is, does this new woman think she'll be treated any
better? Once a cheater, always a cheater.
I wonder how his kids are handling it.

Ironic thread for you to flaunt your stupid sig. The fact this "9/11
widow" disrepects her dead husband to shack up with Bruce proves the
dead man is NOT the most important person on earth. Bruce is the most
important person on earth to her. If she were faithful to the dead man
and truly honored him, she'd take a vow of celibacy and never marry
again. She should walk around in a black burka to remind the world
Bush and Sharon killed her husband. Ideally she'd make the ultimate
sacrifice and throw herself on the funeral pyre.
I'm with Ann Coulter on this issue. The behavior of 9/11 widows is
disgraceful.
I wasn't a huge fan of Bruce before 9/11, and have despised him ever
since he released that musical turd. As with Bono, Sting, and various
country "artists", Bruce is a filthy Republicrat, a useful idiot for
Bush and Isael, advancing the lies of the US government about 9/11.
Bruce exploits the working-class people who died on 9/11 for his own
personal profit.
BTW: to "emeraldeyes", it's been nearly 5 years. GET OVER IT! Of
course you won't, as you probably still haven't gotten over your 60+
year old myth about the "Holocaust".

If you consider how many women have offered themselves to Bruce
(thousands, if not millions), he's turned down the vast majority of the
offers, a higher percentage of offers than most Americans would.
People try to bash rock stars for being unfaithful, but in reality,
they turn down an enormous percentage of offers.
Bruce indeed has terrible character, as shown by his 9/11 album and his
money-motivated firing of the E Street Band (typical of a Jew to be
motivated by profit).

he's germanic not Jewish.

thread? :)

How do you know that they're fine?
Do you go to marriage counseling with them?
Do you live in their house, and hear them fighting?
Do you follow Bruce around when he goes out with this widow?
No?
Then all you know is that you saw them together. That doesn't mean the
rumor doesn't have some truth to it.

I appreciate that your a fan of Springsteen, but surely you understand
that none of those things precludes his having an affair. Just ask his
Julianne Phillips, the _first_ Mrs. Springsteen.

Bruce cheated once before, and cheaters statistically are likely to
repeat. The odds are actually on our side that he's cheating again.
I for one hope it's not true. I actually like Springsteen. But the
idea of him cheating on Patti doesn't surprise me. After all, he
cheated on Julie to get Patti.

When you've very publically cheated on your wife once before, you've
got no business expecting people NOT to talk.
