A restaurant critic appears to have unwittingly exposed an unfaithful husband after his wife read a review and recognised him in an accompanying photograph.
The wife took to the comments to thank food critic Tom Sietsema – who works for Washington Post – for exposing her husband’s cheating. “Well Tom your latest review is accompanied by a picture of my husband dining with a woman who isn’t me!” she wrote on Tom’s column.
“Once confronted with photographic evidence, he confessed to having an ongoing affair. Just thought you’d be amused to hear of your part in the drama. This Thanksgiving I’m grateful to you for exposing a cheat!”
Tom appeared to be horrified at the comment and replied to say he hoped it was a “crank” post. “Please, please, please tell me this is a crank post,” he wrote. “I’d hate to learn otherwise. I file two reviews a week, for Food and the Magazine, so I’m not sure which restaurant this is.”
Tom later shared the comment on his own Twitter account, explaining: “So, this popped up on my live online food chat today. Cheaters, take heed!” Others were utterly shocked, with one writing: “Does this mean the cheating husband is finally having his just desserts? Sorry, I couldn’t resist.”
While another said: “A former colleague of mine got similarly caught out. His wife was flicking through a holiday brochure and was stunned to see a pic of her husband poolside at an upscale Spanish resort with another woman. They divorced soon after.”
