Some readers questioned Mary Kay's state of mind and said they felt sorry for her children from her first marriage. Another person took a more sympathetic view, writing: "The couple have been married for 4 years and have 2 kids. Obviously, Mary Kay and Vili have made a life together. Neither seems to have suffered in the long term. "

One woman, who could barely contain her outrage, wrote about the nightclub event that featured $20 T-shirts with Mary Kay and Vili's photo: "Must she and he flaunt it? Shame on everyone who supported this event."
