I watched and the arm chair psychologist in me had a field day. I would love to hear an expert's opinion.
First, Vili never graduated from high school. Mary Kay was a teacher who cared SO deeply about helping him when he was a child but they've been married for 10 years and she hasn't been able to help him get his GED??? He's working in a garden center, looked like it was Lowe's, because his options are limited without a h.s. diploma. And that's how M.K. likes it. If he would have more options he'd leave her in a heartbeat. His lack of education gives her control over him.
I don't think M.K. has ever grown up. They showed a few pictures of her with Vili and she was wearing a hat, they type that I would expect a young guy like Vili to wear, not a 53 year old woman. She looked like she was desperate to appear young, cool and hip.
Somebody else mentioned that when Babs asked Vili to describe M.K. the first thing he said was that she's always late. The entire interview was an attempt to make people think they are a normal, loving family and that's the best he can come up with? And then when Babs asked him what kind of mother she is the first thing he said was that she's very strict. Not that she's very loving, caring, devoted - she's strict.
I didn't remember this from before, but it was mentioned that M.K.'s father had an affair when she was a child and had 2 children with his mistress. I also didn't remember hearing that Vili had asked M.K. if she would ever have an affair. I think the way she responded had everything to do with her father having an affair. She was still that little girl who was hurt by her father having an affair and a secret second family.
To me, it was obvious by watching their body language and how M.K. steered the answers to the questions that M.K. controls Vili. He seemed very uncomfortable with the interview.
I am amazed at how normal their girls seem, but at the same time I feel sorry for them because they will spend their lives dealing with people who know their mother is a sick, controlling rapist.

What she did was disgusting and wrong, but she has served her time, and they, both as adults have chosen to be together. I'm not sure I really have a problem with their current lives. Would you feel the same way if it was a 30-year-old man and a young teen girl when it started? I am not one for double standards, so I feel the same regardless of the gender of either party. |

It is so. So gross. I have a twelve-year-old. That is a child. I can't stop them from being together now, even though she groomed him, but I wish the media would stop giving her a microphone. I agree! I have a 12 yr. old too, and I can't imagine! Disgusting.

I kind of think she got off easy. I've never ever heard of a male predator who has victimized 13 y o girls get out of jail any time quickly. It's a disgusting double standard. It outrages me. Like the teacher in LA who got like no jail time. That's crap. A rapist is a rapist and a predator is a predator no matter what sex they are and the sentences should always be comparable, they aren't. m.phys.org/news/2012-05-female-sex-criminal-justice.htmlI'm sick that she still exerts any form of control over him. She is a vile woman. I agree! I can't stand double standards and I think it is wrong no matter what the gender of either party is. |

She may have served her time, but HE never got the therapy he needed to deal with the crime that was committed against him. That's why he has depression and substance abuse problems. So yeah, I think its wrong that she pursued him after he was let out. If you listen to her talk its so clear that she is emotionally impaired. She doesn't get why having sex with a 6th grader should be a felony. Why deserting her 4 children to be with a pre-teen was wrong. I refused to watch the 20/20 show that Barbara Walters just did. If he does have all those issues, I hope he is getting help. Does she have any contact with her older children?? She's slimy and I would feel the same if the gender roles were reversed. I too will not glorify this relationship. Mary Kay has issues. Villi has issues I mean one of the causes of depression can be abuse. Addiction? Yeah that, too. She may have done her time and been rehabilitated, but he obviously has not been rehabilitated as in having the scars of molestation dealt with. Their two daughters? Their lives to me would be FML. Sorry Barbara you may have scooped the best interview of the year, but I don't have to watch it. |

I feel very sorry for the children from her first marriage and for the children from this current marriage.

We watched the interview and it was clear he can't shit without her say so. She is essentially raising 3 kids and not having a husband and two kids. Of course he would leave her if he had options. Wouldn't any abused or battered spouse? Her abuse is manipulation and control.

That was one of the strangest interviews that I have ever seen. I feel really bad for the husband, Villi..She should have left him alone and let him recover from their relationship.
Also, I do not believe for a second that a 12 year old would ask a teacher to have an affair. Gross and unbelievable! She is a piece of work.

I saw a picture of her earlier this week, she is clearly in denial about her age. She was dressed like a teenager and strangely posed and wide-eyed in the photo. It struck me as weird, but she already creeps me out. Y'all, she is tutoring children and trying to get off the sex offenders registry so she can go back to teaching.  It's unfortunate that she's given positive attention in the media. |

I'm not sure I really have a problem with their current lives. I think the question is did he really have a choice? By the time he was 13-14 years old he already had two children by his rapist. Its glorifying pedophilia and showing people who choose to have sexual relationships with children that there would potentially be this "happily ever after". He has substance abuse issues and suffers from depression which probably stem from his continued victimization. No clue why ABC decided to give her the platform. Exactly!!! This poor man has never EVER had a chance to be a teenager or a young man. How sad. Tables turned and more people would be disgusted. What that woman did to him was WRONG. He didn't get a chance to choose a life for himself! |

Do we know anything about Mary Kay Letourneau other 4 kids? Did Vili Fualaau go to college? What does he do for a living?
I think Mary Kay has contact with some of her other kids. Vili from what I remember works at a garden center and DJs part time.
That's it. She chose to have her first four kids and then abandon them. HER CHOICE. SHe was fully aware what would happen if she had sex with a child. I am just disgusted. Her poor kids. |

Sorry to bump as I'm sure a LOT of people are tired of even seeing thread title. But I haven't been on in a few days and just saw this.
As someone who was once a victim. Not of rape, but was molested at 14 I REALLY needed to say something...
The trauma you go through as a victim is severe. I know everyone's experience is different and everyone recovers/heals differently, but based on my own experience and those of my Mom and Grandmother who were both victims in their life as well. It NEVER really leaves you. In the months after I was molested I started self harming myself in secret and eventually had to stay in the hospital for a month and go to therapy which was much needed. I'm grown, married, have moved on and forgiven, but it's not something you just forget. My own daughter is 13 now and I can't help but worry and stress about her as I know that it happens all too often.
Honestly the majority of sex offenders are usually not reported, not caught, or not held accountable. And for those who DO get caught the consequences and sentencing is not enough for what they have put their victims through. The man who molested me admitted it and he spent ONE night in jail with less than a year of community service AND later down the road he was able to get himself of the sex offered list. WTHeck?
I feel that Vili did not get the help he needed as a child. Just my own opinion, but I don't think he has fully recovered. I don't feel she got enough time for what she did. I know it's the law and she served the time given to her, but seriously pedophiles don't serve enough time for their crimes and it's not right. She should of kept her distance and left him alone when she got out of jail and that fact that she didn't leave him alone shows how very sick and completely selfish she is. I feel she is manipulative and while everyone says he is a grown man, I think she controls him and he probably doesn't have many options.
and I feel so very sad for all of her children.
