But she recently opened up about their divorce for the first time, and what she had to say about him was the opposite of nice:

"One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.' To me, that sums it up."

Eeps! So much for taking the high road. You certainly can't blame her for being angry -- especially given all the nasty rumors that Arimsen's cheating had led to their split. Still, publicly bashing your ex is a delicate matter, and this might not have been the best time or place to dish on how "abnormal" this dude is.

I know just as much as anyone how cathartic it can be to badmouth about an ex, especially if you feel strongly that she/he seriously hurt you. Making jokes at a particularly bad ex's expense can even go a long way in helping you to feel better (although I have no experience in this whatsoever). But those kinds of rants should be reserved for a close friend or a therapist -- not broadcasted to social networks or, in this case, splashed on the pages of celebrity gossip publications for all to read.

Eventually, you have to move past all the negativity; to stew in it for too long can be unhealthy. Of course, we all slip up sometimes. And in fairness to Elisabeth she's been mum until now -- obviously, this statement doesn't make her a bad person. But I do think it says a lot about a person and where they are emotionally if they continue to complain about an ex in an overwhelmingly bitter way. This biting comment makes me think she still has a long way to go to heal.

Have you ever felt bad about bashing an ex?
