Hello! And welcome cool rockin angel!

We're glad to have you!

First, let me just remind you that Harvey Keitel is an actor. He
makes films we enjoy seeing, and more often than not we get our
money's worth from a Keitel performance. Beyond that, his personal
affairs are none of our business. There are many HUGE stars (much
bigger than Keitel) who constantly make terrible personal choices,
and don't seem to suffer the same backlash he has.

If he hasn't killed or beaten someone, or molested any children or
something horrible like that, for which he should be in prison, then
his personal, private life are none of our concern, and of no
interest to me. The only thing about Keitel that interests me is his
movies and performances.

Second, as I've said in the past, we don't know the whole story.
The woman Keitel had the VERY casual, one night stand affair with,
and who then decided to have his baby over his objections after that,
is most likely a gold-digger, plain and simple. And, contrary to what
people are saying, Keitel is NOT a deadbeat dad. This implies no
financial support for the child. This is incorrect. Keitel has been
paying money for the child all along, voluntarily. The reason they've
been to court so much is that the woman keeps wanting MORE and MORE
money. How much money does it take to take care of a little baby? She
is getting THOUSANDS of dollars a month for the child, and keeps
wanting more! I DO feel he should support the child, but he barely
knew, nor does he seem to even like the mother. This is just my
opinion. His new wife, hoever, he seems VERY happy with, and they
have a new baby he IS with , and I wish them the best. Now, that's
all the gossip you'll get from me! Let's focus on the films!
