How bad was the fallout from Wonkette editor Alex Pareene’s alleged affair with married lady Ally Zay (aka Ally Kearney)? Well, as it turns out, pretty bad. Bad enough to maybe have even caused him to give up his job at the D.C.-based Wonkette to now work for Gawker’s NYC-based flagship publication instead.
Over the past few days several of Pareene and Kearney’s former pals have contacted Big Head DC to shed more light on their affair, which occurred while Kearney was still married to a D.C.-based lad named Tom Millar. The couple was married in April 2005, and met on ilxor.com.
“This is stressing Tom the fuck out,” one of Kearney’s acquaintances who asked to remain anonymous out of respect to Millar, told us. “This is the second time that she’s cheated on him, but the first since they’ve been married…. He doesn’t deserve this. ”
Pareene and Millar, we’ve learned, were friends at one point, but that changed once Pareene started cavorting rather closely with Kearney in recent months. During one particularly egregious rendezvous, Kearney invited Pareene to a party thrown in Millar’s honor. Eventually, Kearney and Pareene made out at the party, and Millar ended up catching them.
Kearney, when questioned by Big Head DC, did not deny the affair, but said that she didn’t want to discuss the situation any further with a competitor of Wonkette. She did, however, discuss her relationship with Angela Valdez, a reporter with the Washington City Paper, on Sept. 19, after she and Pareene were robbed. That article, we’ve learned, was one of the ways Millar confirmed that his wife had continued cheating on him with Pareene.
Pareene, who has detailed the private lives of many Washingtonians during his tenure at Wonkette, has not responded to repeated requests for comment, but some acquaintances are saying that he’s denied knowing Kearney was married to Millar. Not everyone is convinced, though. “Any nonsense about Alex not knowing about it is utter bullshit,” said another former friend. “He’s been to their house, he’s seen the wedding pictures…she wears a fucking rock on her left hand, or at least she did.”
Millar, for his part, is hurt by the situation and does not want the attention that has resulted from the Washington City article. He was still married to Kearney as of last week, but they have been separated for about a month, after Millar learned of the affair.
Kearney, we’ve learned, now plans to move to NYC to be with Pareene. However, she may be in for a shock, as some sources are saying Pareene left Washington earlier than he had originally planned to in order to get away from her after the affair revelations were made public.
Since that time, several people have threatened Pareene with physical violence, and many of his old acquaintances have said they will not speak to him anymore. “Hell, I’d beat Alex’s ass personally if I knew he wouldn’t be a sissy about it and press charges,” another former friend said. “But I’m not losing my job over him.”
I’m not surprised by any of this. Trashy people behave, well, like trash!
This douchebag once called my friend insensitive. Ha.
Can we get pics of the husband?
I wonder if it was the griffin tattoo that did it!
I’ll have you know that I hate being pasted on a pasty chest for all eternity. I wanna be free. Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
Tom, if you’re out there, you rock. They are pathetic excuses for human beings. You know me, and I’d like to talk more.
Tom has spent a lot of nights crying on my shoulder lately. Tears have been flowing like rivers running down Tom’s cheeks. I feel so sorry for the guy. It sucks that there are losers like Alex Pareene in this world who break up happily married couples. Not cool.
Tom, this was a shitty think for her to do to you and even shittier that Alex knew you were married and still fooled around with her. I just want everyone to know that Alex Pareene is a scumbag and I shant be following him to Gawker.
Alex can dish the dirt, but can’t take it, huh?
Tom is a bro.
this is news?
Considering that Alex Pareene has dumpster dived for volumes of personal info on Washingtonians, this proves him as the hypocrite that he is. Bring back Ana Marie Cox!

This is revolting! I don’t support homewreckers, and, thanks to Alex’s sick behavior, I’ll never visit a Gawker-owned blog again.
Shame on Alex. What Ally doesn’t know is that he had his eyes on ANOTHER person at the Gawker book party last week.
I’m sure Tom hasn’t been an angel himself.
Interview Tom Millar!
Tom hasn’t been an angel. Did he deserve this? No. Fucking. Way.

Pareene’s gone, Rob. Don’t you have new Wonkette editors to pester?
He was still blogging for Wonkette as of today, Masked Blogger! Are you sad he didn’t live up to your standards?
Rob, you silly billy, you. I don’t hold professional bloggers to standards. You’re all the scum of the earth as far as I’m concerned.
Well, then, silly billy, why do you hide from me? Are you scared of something?
#1 Pareene couldn’t have homewrecked without assistance from an insider.
#2 If it was true love, nothing could have wrecked the house.
Rob, where are you??? Should we be worried???
Hope Tom finds Wonkette and beats his ass.
that ally’s a goer, what what?? tttttttttttttttttttrash
cheer up tom, chix dig assholes, you’ll land on yer feet.
pareene is a smug little douche, glad everybody knows now
Please, they are all too young to be married
And they need baths judging by their pictures
OBVIOUSLY they were too young to be married in the first place, and had no conception of what it means to be married. Maybe one of them just desperately needed health insurance. I don’t know.

The number, of course, would be shockingly low for any book, but consider that it has been heavily promoted on all of the blogs in the Gawker Media network, including Wonkette. Perhaps this means that the number of people Denton says read the blogs has been dramatically overhyped? Or maybe editorial affairs have helped sink the ship? Or maybe, just maybe, the book was seen for what it really is: worthless. […]

Awesome scoop, BHDC. I’m switching from Wonkette to your site now. So ridiculous how Pareene makes fun of LNS then makes his pal’s wife a Tuesday night takedown. What a douche.
[…] Craig’s Outer Backtracks | Dan Savage Hired Benjamin Nicholas | Sen. Craig’s Former Lovers Talk Gawker Forces Alex Pareene To Be a Journalist Monday December 3rd, 2007 12:51 PM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Journalism, Wonkette, AlexPareene, Gawker, Nick Denton The big news this weekend that a whopping three editors, including the managing editor, quit Nick Denton’s flagship Gawker Media blog empire, has left former Wonkette editor Alex Pareene up a tree without a parachute. Pareene, you’ll recall, was run out of Washington after his affair with a married female was revealed on Big Head DC. Denton looked kindly on him (maybe because Denton is known for some strange affairs of his own), and let him start quietly snarking in NYC at Gawker. But, with the departure of a majority of its editorial staff, Denton has now announced that he wants to re-fashion the site as a news disseminator — not a snark regurgitator. Yet, Pareene was well-known for saying at Wonkette that he was not a journalist, and he didn’t want to be. Should we expect another departure soon? […]

Perhaps it’s my age, but I’m really not interested in “Ken Layne” and “Alex Pareene.” They’re clearly shallow, narcissistic, and hipster wannabes.
I am more bothered with the direction or lack of direction of Wonkette. It has lost its focus entirely, and I do not envision good things to come for this blog if somebody with talent and organizational skills doesn’t dive in there fast.
