Is Classism Rearing Its Ugly Head? Seal Blasts Heidi For Romancing “The Help”

By now, it’s no secret that Heidi Klum and Seal are going through a highly publicized Hollywood divorce after seven years of marriage and three children together. What seemed to be a quiet split has turned noisy as of late due to Seal’s recent comments about his ex’s choice in men.

Photos of Heidi Klum and her longtime bodyguard canoodling in Sardinia surfaced over the weekend, indicating the two are indeed dating. When asked about the photos by TMZ, Seal had this to say:

“That’s what happens when two people separate, they move on and generally meet other people in their lives.”

That’s the appropriate response, isn’t it? Especially considering the fact that Seal has already been seen dating other women since the couple announced their separation in January.

BUT, it seems that Seal really is not about equal treatment in this case. He went on to say: “Whilst I didn’t expect anything better from him [the bodyguard], I would have thought that Heidi would have shown a little more class and at least waited until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were.”

SMH. Did Seal really admist that he’s an elitist and a classist? And did he insinuate that he would have been happier if Heidi chose to date someone who is more “professional?” This is why more celebs need to understand the significance of keeping their mouths shut when it pertains to personal relationships. I didn’t have a problem with Seal before this incident, but after this comment, I’m really second-guessing his character.

Amid all the speculation of Seal’s “controlling” ways, which has been implied as one of the reasons for the couple’s breakup, one thing the Nigerian-British singer has revealed this weekend is that he has class issues. In the wise words of Tamar, get your life Seal.

What do you think about his comments? Did they make you feel some type of way about Seal?

    It’s not about being elitist. Who wouldn’t be angry if your ex chose to mess around with someone you knew – someone you were paying…Is he the bodyguard or the boyfriend?
    That is just messy business on Heidi’s part. I’m sure there are all kinds of dudes trying to get at her. She had to pick someone on the payroll to get under Seal’s skin.

  • emme

    It shouldn’t matter because if she dates the man now or a year after the divorce she’s going to get on with her life regardless. Seal just needs to man up and deal with it. Can he prove she was seeing this person during their marriage? If not then it’s a non issue. It’s a hard pill to swallow but he’s a big boy he can handle it. Besides why should she wait till next year if she has found someone that makes her happy today? It doesn’t mean she never loved Seal it just means that she has moved on with her life and into a new chapter.

    I uhderstand why he is angry because he is saying she could have waited at least until they was seperated before messing around on him expecially with the help which is not classy and i take it to mean she was messing with the bodyguard before they was seperated and thats what he is saying its not what you do its how you do it

  • Charis Rita

    Honestly would you have called Heidi an elitist if she slammed seal was seeing the maid?

    I don’t think he was being classist or an elitist. Jealous and bitter are more accurate in my opinion. People sometimes say harsh things when they’re hurt and that’s all it is.

    Seal. Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel to be exact, should be the last person on this earth to be referring to another human as help. He may feel a certain way about who his ex wife chooses to date but that does not mean insulting her taste in such a sly and condescending manner. Not only does that indirectly say that her choice in men including HIM is flawed, but in her eyes he is viewed not much differently from her bodyguard. Does he not forget how people viewed him as having slumped by bagging this woman ? Or even how folks viewed Heidi for choosing to marry this African transplant ? ..

    He also looks like a damn fool. He’s moved on with another white bish so why can’t she?

    she’s finally out in the open with her longtime bodyguard, so it is safe to say she was doing him on the side during their marriage. i think Seal is showing incredible restraint. he’s allowed to be upset. be glad all he’s doing is calling him “the help”.

    yea he said it! how would you feel if your driver was screwing your wife?!

  • Candacey Doris

    I understand why he’s angry (because he has to wonder if they were together for longer than this divorce has been in the works) but he shouldn’t have said ‘the help’ like people that work for others are beneath him.

  • Guest

    Seal’s just pissed because he lost his “white girl eye candy” and won’t be getting her back. He should really keep his mouth shut because he just looks bitter because she moved on. He’s not coming across as a winner here and should always remember this is the mother of his children and what he says about her could get back to them. No need to screw up the children because they’re a mess!!!

    • klynn

      He is dating other women, that would seam as if he has moved on. What do the children call the body gaurd? Uncle body gaurd?! Has Seal brought any other women around his children? Who knows, the anger had to come out sooner or later! They were much too cool in the first place about the breakup. Nigerians are like that, I was married to one, they are very proud people, and yes it’s an insult to be put off for the help. They want nothing more than for their children to be safe and happy; as far as a woman is concerned, he’ll get over it.

  • Miss Anonymous

    Nope because it raises too many questions. I wouldnt like it if the nanny and my husband started dating cause its like maybe they were screwing way before we divorced and was waiting to come out. So essentially I was paying her to watch the kids and screw my husband, ummm no. How many ladies here would be okay if the woman you use to pay, and still paying to watch your kids started to date your husband while yall are separated?

    Plus although he worded it word, she is essentially screwing someone she is paying to do a service for her. what if she decides to leave him and he decides to let loose all her secrets?

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1438551270 Jessica Lucinda Williams

      you are right about that! these ladies trying to act like it shouldn’t bother him, but they would be ready to kill if their man was boning the babysitter.

    • Staci B

      to be fair, it’s more likely she paid since he ain’t earning $hit!

      • Miss Anonymous

        I know I said that but I would be reluctant in dating a man who I am paying to work for me. I would basically be paying for my own gifts. lol I would rather cut the middle man out and by my gifts myself.

  • dee

    Awwww….why you mad seal? Get off of the haterade…its not a good look.

    • Treacle234

      Agreed, Heidi doesn’t want him no more so he is a little jaded. Seal keep your mouth shut think about your children. What child wants to know their mom or dad is cheating on their parent.
