Somebody help me please! I am surrounded by these douchey millionaire husbands who are shafting their exes--Peter Brant, Steve Phillips, Jim Nantz, and Bob Haldeman. Must be something in the water here in Fairfield County..... #stephanieseymour

It seems so unfair that such detestable people should have the wherewithal to purchase such great art. I hate that all those Cindy Shermans and Basquiats are in these two's hands. #stephanieseymour

When I got divorced it was basically who wants the salad spinner and who wants the electric can opener. #stephanieseymour

@sassyredhead: I hope you got the can opener. Basic survival depends on the ability to open canned food. At least it does if I'm the one cooking. #stephanieseymour

Add Ms. Seymour to the list of beautiful people who are probably aliens because they never age. If this woman has an addiction problem, I need one too. #stephanieseymour

There is literally nothing about this mess that doesn't make me vomit. They are so fucking despicable that they absolutely deserve one another. It's a pity the marriage didn't work out. #stephanieseymour

@Tchotchke: Also, I really hate that I am so childish that I went here, but: It saddens me that Stephanie Seymour is such a miserable, nasty person and still so incredibly beautiful. Life is not fair. #stephanieseymour

@Tchotchke: My old girlfriend in San Diego used to cut SS's hair and she was in fact a nasty, mean, pretentious, arrogant and altogether unlikable person. She was so "me-me-me" she made even the most egotistical diva look like a humble version of Mother Teresa. She was dumb as a bag of dirt and made no bones about using her snootch to get what she wanted. I did not like her, not at all. #stephanieseymour

@I_can_still_pitch: There was an anecdote in the Kurt Coabin biography "Heavier than Heaven" about Stephanie Seymour. I think this was at the 1993 MTV VMAs, while she was still dating Axl, and right after Courtney Love gave birth to Frances.

As the story goes, Axl Rose and Stephanie approached the Cobains backstage to start a fight. Axl insulted Kurt and their child, Kurt then asked Axl to be Frances' godfather. Stephanie, feeling left out, walked over to Courtney, who was boucing Frances on her knee and sneered, "Are you a model?" to which Courtney replied, "No, are you a brain surgeon?" Stephanie stuttered and then walked away.

Obviously, I have never met SS in person, but I've heard many stories by people who have and each one is worse than the last.

I effing love it when even the lawyers say their clients are liars. Gotta love it when you've been doing it for so long that cynicism wins over a zealous defense. #stephanieseymour

I apologize in advance for taking a part of this post seriously and therefore for this rant, but I can't not post this.

Why would anyone have a problem with a private art collector who actually shares his collection with the public? If he hangs his work on the walls of his house, the public will never get to see it. Additionally, his house is probably not light and climate controlled, which could present preservation issues. And since some of the monthly operating costs of the museum no doubt go towards paying professionals to curate and care for the collection, he'd have to spend a good portion of that money no matter where the works are hung.

I'm all for righteous indignation about the wasteful lifestyles of the rich, but I don't think collecting and showing art should be included. Patronage is a necessary component of the art world and the fact that he's enabling the public to see his collection on a regular basis is a step up from the average private collector.

And there are two problems with the "just go to the Met" throwaway line:
1) I can't see the works owned by this guy at the Met because they're not there. Implying that all art is basically the same- that looking at one painting is just as good as looking at another- is a bit ignorant. A parallel: reading Lolita is not the same as reading Bend Sinister, and I don't think anyone would suggest that it is.

2) I love the Met's "give what you can" door policy but I strongly urge everyone to give more than $.50 if you possibly can. Museums fund a lot more than the average person sees; research, preservation, and education are expensive and not very sexy missions. The trend for blockbuster shows that bring in the dollars isn't about profit, it's about funding those missions that no one is interested in funding. If we all gave more, we'd see a lot more programming that isn't Impressionists.

I know I took this too seriously and I'm a humorless jerk, but I just get so tired of visual art being used as an example of wasteful spending. #stephanieseymour

Holy fucking shit. This really pisses me off. I'm all for enjoying your hard-earning wealth (it was hard-earning, right?), but I don't understand the need to live excessively and ostentatiously. I came from a family of wealth (hard-earned from a family of immigrants who worked themselves up the ladder) and my grandparents live very comfortably, but they don't spend $200K+ a month! They would consider that kind of display to be quite tacky...

As for me, if I were blessed with that much money (which I am not because in my family we are not given money, we earn it)...I cannot fathom spending $50,000 a year on clothing, much less a month. #stephanieseymour

Wow, um hello house. I'm from VA, and was just scrolling through the pictures - I did a double take a Mount Vernon. That is a pretty spot-on imitation. #stephanieseymour

Some people get robbed in their Alaias!
"Oh, no. You don't understand this is an Alaia."

"An a-what-a?"

"It's like a totally important designer."
