Seth Meyers in Hot Water: Family Drama Overshadows Wife's Milestone Moment
Seth Meyers' Parenting Fail: Talk Show Host Slammed for Leaving His Sick Daughter on Stage with Wife
In a cringe-worthy display of paternal responsibility, Late Night host Seth Meyers has come under fire for leaving his three-year-old daughter Adelaide to fend for herself while her mother Alexi Ashe gave a commencement address.
The 51-year-old comedian's post-glowing tribute to his wife's "motherhood clinic" skills sparked outrage among social media users, who pointed out that maybe, just maybe, he should have stepped up to care for their sick child instead of letting Alexi take on the task alone.
In a heartwarming (or so we thought) post on social media, Meyers raved about his wife's multitasking skills, praising her for "putting on a motherhood clinic" while giving her big speech. He even shared adorable photos of Alexi cradling Adelaide in her arms on stage, with the toddler running around and ignoring everyone but her mom.
But what really got people's goat was when Meyers bragged about his wife letting their sick daughter join her on stage without losing her cool. "Our daughter was under the weather and not interested in being with anyone but her mom," he wrote, as if this were some kind of badge of honor for Alexi. "Instead of sending her home, she let her join her on stage... and then to top it all off, her niece just wandered onto stage mid-speech!"
Social media users were quick to call out Meyers' lack of parenting skills, asking how he could possibly let his wife deal with their sick child alone while trying to give a speech. "Am I the only one who thinks someone should have helped with the kiddo so she can focus on the task at hand?" one commenter asked.
Another user pointed out the obvious double standard: "A motherhood clinic? So now every mom who's giving a speech is supposed to let their kid come on stage if they're not feeling well? Nope. She's awesome and congrats to her, but this really is about you not giving her the moment she deserves."
But that wasn't all - Meyers also came under fire from his Late Night viewers for failing to ask George Clooney about the bombshell reports in a new book that claimed Joe Biden was unable to recognize the actor at a fundraiser last year. The 63-year-old actor was on the show to promote his Tony-nominated Broadway play, but Meyers didn't even bring up the shocking allegations.
The news that Biden may be struggling with dementia sparked widespread criticism of Meyers for not asking Clooney about it during their interview. "AND the cover-up of Joe's Dementia continues," one person tweeted. "Not surprised," said another.
As if all this weren't enough, social media users also had a thing or two to say about Meyers' parenting style - or lack thereof. "How often do we see their kids in his show while he's trying to interview people? Such a double standard," one user pointed out.
It seems like Seth Meyers has some serious 'splainin' to do. After all, as one commenter astutely observed: "When you're giving your wife the moment of her own, but also letting your kids run around on stage while she's trying to give a speech... that's not being supportive, that's just being lazy."
