You stay classy, Heene family.

Of course I see this after reading the article about the family on the 2008 "Wife Swap" episode in which the producers mention this about Richard Heene: "Because their philosophies were so wildly different and also the scientist (Heene) dad has a very strained out attitude towards women. He sees that women after 25 are used up and not worth talking to.

So yeah, he's an asshole and his wife is definitely abused/ has low self esteem.
