Her response: "I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip,” she said in the informal, selfie-style video where she paced along a road. “No marriage is perfect, and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage.”

The media absolutely loves Platner, and for the same reasons they love Trump. He is a rich white male who elicits incredibly strong pisitive/negative reactions, with a long history of controversies and who makes bombastic statements. Generally speaking, he’s great for their ratings.
