David Duchovny, best known for his role as Fox Mulder in X- Files, has a penchant for remaining in news. He somehow manages to grab headlines for various reasons. His recent TV show ‘Californication’ got into controversy with its pilot episode featuring a nun giving a blow job to Duchovny in a dream sequence. The show proved to be popular despite the moralists shouting themselves hoarse to boycott the series. His ‘X- Files: I want to Believe‘ did reasonably well even if did not prove to be as wildly successful as it was anticipated. Just before the second season of Californication was to premier, Duchovny came out with the confession about his sex- addiction and entered a rehab. Even before media could stop correlating his personal life with the life of Hank Moody, the writer he portrays on Californication, there came another bombshell-his separation from Tea Leoni, his wife of 11 years. Though surprisingly, the reason given was not Duchovney’s addiction rather it was Leoni’s affair with Billy Bob Thorton.

But, just because a man goes through a little sex- addiction phase, does it mean that he is having an affair with his tennis instructor? Apparently a British Daily Mail assumed so and splashed the story. After Duchovny filed a $ 1 million lawsuit, the newspaper apologized officially and retracted their statement that suggested that his affair with his coach Edit Pakay was the reason behind his separation from his wife.

Well, Duchovney has also very graciously reciprocated the goodwill gesture and dropped the lawsuit. Now folks, what’s the moral of the story? Before you all come up with a long string of zany morals of your own let me tell you that moral is “At times even a reformed sex-addict gets to see the justice prevail.”
