QWeekend<\/a> ahead of the release of her book, she explained that the pair had separated but were \u201cstill living in the house together\u201d when she engaged in the affair.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m not making excuses, I\u2019m just explaining \u2026 I think everyone should question what their own moral compass is on that,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cBecause a lot of people have affairs, not everyone\u2019s ends like mine does, but the feelings are the same. The betrayal, the anger. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn my space it had dire consequences and I think people will harshly judge me and I think there are a lot of people that will probably see me very differently and that\u2019s their right. But it is the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bailey also admitted she wasn\u2019t sure she\u2019d ever actually publish the details of her extramarital relationship, but had written it down as she \u201cjust needed to make sense of it\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI needed to not blame anyone else, to take my responsibility in it,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201c \u2026 The hardness for me was not sugar-coating it, not denying my involvement in it, being truly honest in my decision-making because we are all everything. Like, we\u2019re good, we\u2019re evil, we are bad. We make good choices, we make terrible choices. And my choice had a diabolical consequence for the three most important people in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The popular radio veteran was struck by tragedy again just five years after Smart\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Eleven months after marrying her \u201csoulmate\u201d, Bailey\u2019s second husband, radio executive Sean Pickwell, passed away following a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can I say, my big beautiful panda has gone,\u201d Bailey wrote in a Facebook post in 2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe died as he lived, his way, at home with us holding him early this morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this moment there are no words or feelings that can truly express the love and gratitude I have for my husband Sean Pickwell. He came into our lives and healed us. He loved me so hard and taught me so much and now whatever life throws at us we will be stronger, wiser and more fierce because of him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was my absolute soulmate,\u201d Bailey continued. \u201cThe true love of my life and whatever I do from now on he will be in my heart and in my corner cheering me on.\u201d<\/p>\n
