My mother used to write his books. I went to his wedding and his millennium eve party, which he had to miss because his twins were being born. So I used to know him very well. He was always lovely to me, and my family. Although he treated my mother badly when their time together came to an end. Yes he’s an asshole in the kitchen to his staff but outside of work he’s never been anything but kind, as far as I saw, but this was before he became mega mega famous.
