YOUNG AND RESTLESS Actor John Driscoll Asked For Restraining Order Against Fan; Takes Paternity Test

For the second time in a week comes a story of a soap opera actor having a conflict with a fan that crosses a line that leads to the courts being involved. Last week, Victor Alfieri sued an "obsessed fan" alleging breach of contract, libel and slander. And now, TMZ has published court documents showing THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS actor John Driscoll's restraining order petition from early August against a fan and former neighbor he says "clearly is not rational."

The petition claimed the fan "pursued contact w/ me and my fiancee. She took it to extremes making accusations of sexual encounters and fathering her child which was proven false through a forced [$119] paternity test." He asked for protection for his fiancee, Beth, as well. The two recently announced their engagement.

"She slandered my name and reputation to friends, family and more seriously my place of employment & employees (CBS - Y&R) regarding false accusations of fathering her child."

The petition goes on to say Beth has been harassed as well causing her "great remorse and even health issues."

Driscoll was due in court on September 13 but didn't show up so the judge tossed his petition.

So what do you think? Are these two extreme situations or do some actors not know where to draw the line in their relationships with their fans? Are the soaps responsible for taking any action when accusations like this arise? Weigh in below in our Comments section.

  1. Shouldn't the fan take some responsibility over what's happened to "cross the line" in these interactions with actors/actresses?

    I know that fan is short for "fanatic", but as fans we also need to use common sense, respect and common courtesy when we're interacting with our favorite actors/actresses.

  2. What is wrong with fans that take it to this extreme.Let the actors do their job and us what them on the screen.Heavy fines need to be brought against people who cause problems more than getting a autograph or photo!

  3. He consider his workplace MORE important than his family & friends? Arrogant. Is he even still on Y&R??

    "She slandered my name and reputation to friends, family and more seriously my place of employment & employees (CBS - Y&R) regarding false accusations of fathering her child."

  4. I'm hoping & praying that both Victor Alfieri & John Driscoll earn the justice that they are seeking.

    How did John's fan/neighbor gain access to his family members, friends, place of employment, etc.?

  5. Seriously? Wow...this guy's got to be full of it. If you take a paternity test you're admitting to having slept with someone. I think he didn't show to the court date because he knows this alleged "fan" has proof that they were having sex. There are two sides to every story. It sounds like Driscoll needs to be keeping his thing in his pants. I say he's a cheater.

  6. Anonymous #2,

    Because someone takes a paternity test says nothing about whether or not that person actually had sex with the alleged mother. A man can be named a father of a child and be forced to pay child support by court order. He may have never had met the alleged mother.

    Therefore, the only way to prove lack of paternity is through a DNA test.

    Frankly, I find the hostility against Driscoll to be bizarre, unsympathetic, and disturbing.

    This is a soap opera site. False paternity claims are a trope of soap stories. In many a storyline, an innocent man has been accused of fathering a child only to show his innocence.

    Moreover, given the history of stalker fans who have endangered the lives of TV and film stars, it's shocking that people would have such harsh criticism of a victim. During the 1980s, OLTL's Andrea Evans was stalked by a derange fan to such a degree that she had to quit her job and flee to California. Drake Hogestyn of DOOL found a stalker at his home who planned to hurt him. In the 1980s, a young TV actress was stalked and murdered by a fan.

    When I look at the cruel messages here, I am reminded of how rape victims are told that must have encouraged their attacks. The same kind of twisted logic is at play.

    Seriously, victim blaming in 2011?

    P.S.

    Anonymous #3,

    "Arrogance"? Could it be that Driscoll might know that his family and friends would give him the benefit of not doubting him? Something that many employers may not.

    Stalkers are real. Ask Halle Berry, David Letterman, Sandra Bullock, etc., etc.

  7. To the Anonymous Rant...you are being extremely defensive. No reason to get emotional unless you personally know this guy.

    Obviously this is a false accusation or he or an attorney on his behalf would have been there on Sept. 13th to make sure he got the order against her.

    I call B.S. and I bet he did this to salvage his relationship with his fiance. I'd like to hear this poor mom's side of the story. His story is too fishy. Men like Arnold Schwarzenegger prove that even though he might seem like a stand up guy...he's still chasing tail. John Driscoll sounds like he's manipulating the situation.

  8. Re: "Chasing tail?"

    Look - the alleged stalker is pregnant - but he's NOT the father.

    So unless she went to a soap opera sperm bank, this means she was having sex with another man. And yet, you criticize him for "chasing tail" ???

    Plus, since she was obviously lying about that, it not only shoots down her overall credibility, but goes to character.

  9. Everyone should read the comments under the actual TMZ article about this.

    It appears John Driscoll had a consensual relationship with this alleged "fan" and in doing so he cheated on his now fiance.

    The truth will always come out and it looks like someone has proof that he had a relationship with this woman. It doesn't matter if he's the child's father or not. There obviously was a question as to if he possibly could be. So maybe she slept with 2 guys within a close proximity to each other. Big Deal. It sounds like he was doing the same thing by sleeping with this woman and his fiance at the same time. They sound like they were a match made in heaven.

  10. Nowhere in the actual court document attached to the TMZ article does it state Driscoll had a consensual (sexual) relationship with the woman.

    And why would any comments made by anonymous posters attaching themselves to the TMZ article hold any more weight than the anonymous comments written here?

    ReplyDelete
  11. John is a cheater - always has been - always will be. He cheated on his girlfriend back in New York. And he's cheated on Beth. I know this from personal experience. I guess somebody finally decided to come forward with information. Hilarious. I'm sure there are LOTS of us out there with proof!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Why isn't everyone looking at the facts here? John filed a claim in court with all kinds of claims against a woman but never showed up for the court date, why???? Perhaps he had no proof to show the court but instead was trying a very foolish act to save his relationship with his fiancee? People read Sandy's comment on TMZ.com and you will hear from someone who knows John and the woman he was with as well as his girlfriend at the same time. Funny how men can be seeing two women and have sex with them & their buddies give them a thunbs up, go get it bro, but let a woman do the same thing and look at what people say of her!!!! Same old double standard!!!! Shame on all of you who post such nonsense, grow up and remember there is always two side to every story you hear. This woman has to be a class act because she has not spoken up for her 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps she considers protecting her child more important than the absurd nonsense in the claim John filed with the court. Men who protest so much usually have the most to hide. Act like adults now and think twice about what you post regarding the article!!!

  13. I know everyone involved in this. The woman who claims to have had an affair with Driscoll is a nut. She never had an affair with him. She was, however, a neighbor, and knew him. No offense to larger women, and the men who love them, but she's 5' 5'' and 180 lbs. Even if John were the biggest hound dog in the word (he is not), there is simply no way he'd cheat on his beautiful girlfriend, with this fat, looney.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I know all of the people very well that are mentioned in this article. Shame on anyone bashing this innocent mother who has done nothing but keep her silence for her child’s safety. John Driscoll has cheated repeatedly on Beth Nelson with not only this former neighbor of his but also, several other women at the apartment complex where he resides.

    To whomever posted the "fat looney" comment, you must be very biased and not know the woman he cheated on Beth with. This mother is GORGEOUS and Beth looks like a troll next to her. Let's not forget that John got fired from Y&R for hitting on a young lady in the casting department. John has obvious issues with fidelity and Beth is just an insecure bully.

    The mother is stunning inside and out and has done nothing wrong but let a man deceive her. 180lbs...Yes, probably right after having a baby. I can tell everyone that John is completely fake and definitely is a con-artist. It doesn’t matter that he’s getting married. He will always cheat because that is what he’s always done. John Driscoll is an unemployed actor making a desperate attempt for attention. Plain and simple.

  15. Excuse me to the one who posted about this fat looney, she was a neighbor not a fan, to that you are absolutely correct! But you are wrong that she was 180 lbs when they were together.....sorry you have your facts so wrong. Try in the further to get them correct since you claim to know so much!!!! She was only 120 lbs when she & John slept together and far prettier than Beth could ever hope to be....do you need glasses? Don't fabricate stories to try to defend John and slander such a beautiful woman!!! Truth and only the truth should be posted about this story, if you don't know the truth then don't post.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I posted below "Fox" yesterday. The reason I know that John is a cheater is that he cheated on his girlfriend with me. I actually have proof of his infidelity and my friends know about it, but I would never tell the press about it. I say, let him ruin his own life. Then again, I kind of would love for more people to know the truth about this kid. But really, I don't care enough.

    I also know of someone else he has cheated on Beth with - we are actually friends from years back. It's hilarious to me that people are defending John Driscoll. He claims to be this great guy...but in reality, I think he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh and for the record, John doesn't care about the size of women. He actually likes bigger girls believe it or not! He may not want to be seen in public with them, but I know for a FACT that he's into it.

    ReplyDelete
  18. These comments are hilarious. None of you know anything about this.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Actually none of these comments are hilarious. It sounds like people do know what they are talking about. I've had sex with John since he's been with Beth. He told me they were on a break. Luckily, I realized he was not a good guy before I got my emotions involved. John and Beth both know he's never had a stalker or anything like that. It's common knowledge that Beth is an alcoholic. If it's because she's with a toxic man who knows? No one is forcing Beth to stay with a man that she knows cheats on her. And trust me...she knows. If anyone doubts what I'm saying...I have proof of all of it and I don't care who sees it.

    John opened a can of worms with these false allegations and all of us that know him are glad he's getting his karma.

  20. All you idiots that have made commits about John Driscoll cheating on his soon to be wife, should just keep your commits to yourself!!! The claims most of you had, regarding having "sex" with him just shows what type of women you are. Women who publish their sex lifes are basically Whores!!! And as far as this stalker goes, the women has to have some type of mental issue. Rumors always get started about actors/actresses but no one really knows what actually is going on..
    Why would you all stoop as low to down grade both John and his girlfriend just prove that you all must have very low self esteems of yourselves and down grading others make you feel better!! Live the man alone..He's a great actor and I miss seeing him on the Y&R!! Hopefully, he'll be back soon..Oh, it's a little hard to believe that a any man would have sex with all the women in his apartment complex..Get a life people because stalkers need to be taken seriously before someone gets hurt or killed..

  21. WE LOVE YOU JOHN AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!!

  22. It sounds like Beth is venting in the 3 comments posted directly above this. I can say for a fact that John is a cheater and Beth is an alcoholic. I'm willing to take proof of my recent sexual relationship with John to whomever wants to see it.

    John is a liar and obviously will go to great extents to cover up his sexual affairs. I have texts, pictures, and voicemails from John to me that prove he's a cheater and that he is a liar.

    John's a deranged human and Beth is just as bad. No one wants John because he will sleep with anyone.

    Beth you should stop posting comments that just make you look nuts.

    I can't wait to show everyone this proof of what a scumbag John Driscoll is!

  23. When John was living with Sara in New York, he definitely cheated on her with many ladies. That is why Sara ended the relationship, which is common knowledge to everyone who knew them.

    I am not saying John is a bad person because he is a really nice man, but a real ladies man. Many men are like him.

    ReplyDelete
  24. EVERYONE SEEMS TO FORGET THE FOLLOWING.....
    1-If this lady was a stalker John would have kept his court date.
    2-If John had any proof of any of his allegations he would have kept his court date.
    3-So all of the above posting is based on what John filed in his court papers but failed to prove by showing up for his court date.
    Doesn't that speak volumnes for it's self people.
    4-For the person who posted that all the comments (and you should learn how to spell correctly by the way) posted by women were whores with low self esteem must realized that your comment comes with a double edged sword. Men are also whores with low self esteem!!! So think before you post something out of the 1950's.
    5-John is ultimately responsible for all of this because he was the one who alledged everything in his court papers but didn't have the balls as a man to show up for his court date and prove all his allegations. Instead he slandered this woman terribly!!! And with no proof at all.
    6-The sad fact to all of this is the people who bought into his allegations and only allegations have now also slandered this woman and again with no proof!!!!
    7-Is this the behavior of a nice man? I think not.
    8-Maybe this woman who has not gone to the press will at sometime sue John for slandering her. Perhaps he should have thought twice before he took the actions he did, but he is responsible for his actions. Look at all the above comments because of what he did & could not prove!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. John, more than likely did have an affair with this lady in question. Obviously, he would appear in court if innocent.

    I know Sarah, his ex-girlfriend very well. We were both from Richmond, Virginia. She is a beautiful lady physcially and personality wise. They lived together for 3 years in New York. She put her heart and soul into their relationship and truly loved John. She was so heart broken when she discovered the ladies he was having affairs with during their relationship.

    Hopefully, he will learn from his mistakes and do right with this current fiance' in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The person ranting in the above comments, please return to elementary school and learn how to spell.
    I too have proof of a relationship with John and am willing to share it with whomever now. I have emails, photos, texts, etc. And if you've been with John, you will know him when you see him. You know that he's a little different shall we say? Anyone else agree?

    Anyway - Beth needs to run away. And Sarah made the right decision. One time, John roped me into talking to Sarah to convince her he and I weren't sleeping together. I was told by John that they were broken up. Obviously a lie. But then he BEGGED me to talk to Sarah and convince her that I was just a friend. Lame. At the time it wasn't worth it to me to end his and Sarah's relationship. I just didn't care that much about John. But now, with all this stuff coming out, I think it's hilarious! I want people to know what he's really like - especially Beth - because even though I met her for the first time when she was hammered - and apparently this is a common theme, she doesn't deserve to be treated like garbage.

    ReplyDelete
  27. God I can’t believe it took this long for this to come out?!?..aka he’s extremely careless about it. He sends me inappropriate pics of himself, has fake email accounts, and fb pages (which I can provide). I can even tell you dates that Beth was out of town for work because that's when I’d get bombarded with texts first thing in the morning. ALL of these women that are coming forward are telling the truth..especially what Anonymous stated, he'll sleep with anything female. Anyways truth be told he’s been pursuing me for YEARS…I have all of the texts, voicemails, and pics to prove it as well. The only way that I could decipher his lies was to google him and his gf in order to find out if they were still together. I seriously had more respect for him being in a relationship then he ever did. I only messed around with him AFTER he told me that him and his gf were over and believe me when I say I'm not proud of what I did. He even pursued me after he got engaged and would tell me that his fiancee had all these issues and would pee on the bed from being so drunk. Hell I would think I don't blame her for always being drunk being with you (she HAS to know) and he would always downplay their status together. I'm an ex-actress and model and I've heard everything in the book so I always went with my instincts and knew he was a pathological liar. And if we’re getting into the superficiality of looks Sarah was ten times prettier then plain jane Beth and he religiously cheated on her. As for all of these people that are defending him they are looking at it with an objective view and feeding into his portrayal that he loves to display that he’s this “good guy.” If they knew him personally they would think otherwise, he’s not THAT good of an actor. And anyone who says I’m jealous I’m certainly not, I’ve turned him down more time then I can count over the years and have no interest in an unemployed actor that can't keep his pants on . I as well have all of the evidence, I use to ask him why he was doing this and he told me about things that was done to him in his childhood. As stated above Beth you really don’t deserve to be treated like garbage, if you do decide to be legally bound to him please know that 24/7 surveillance will not stop him he will find a way (in fact he use to walk the dog just in order to try and call me). He's a very sick man and should seek some help for his childhood issues and his relentless sexual urges.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I beleive everything you are saying. He did have childhood issues, which he shared with Sarah and friends.

    I agree, Sarah is a beautiful lady. I only saw this Beth person once. Either it was a bad picture or she is a very homely lady. No comparison between her and Sarah at all.

    ReplyDelete
  29. It seems like there is a mutual understanding here.

    John Driscoll never needed a restraining order because he never had an alleged "fan" that was causing him or anyone he knows any distress.

    John clearly had a sexual relationship with Rebekah and there was enough doubt for both of them to question if he was the father of Rebekah's baby. Luckily, for Rebekah he isn't because he clearly isn't father material right now.

    There is enough evidence out there to prove that John has serious infidelity issues. His relationship with Beth is tainted and if she wants to deal with his issues for the rest of her life then let her.

    We can only hope that John gets some help for his nymphomaniac issues.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think based on the evidence maybe everyone should reconsider who the real whore is in this.

    The whole matter could have probably been handled privately (which is probably what John wanted since he loves to try and cover his tracks)and wouldn't have picked up by tmz if he hadn’t filed a restraining order. He probably only did it to try and prove to everyone how innocent he was, even though he’s really not innocent of much (she should thank her lucky stars that he’s not the father). Anyways now his address is blatantly out there for all to see and there are a lot of angry people out there who have been hurt by his lies. Now he really should worry about him and his fiancée’s protection, but not based on this “stalker fan” but based on what anyone can find out there, right down to his place of residence. I think he's finally sealed his own fate and it's the best redemption anyone could ask for him considering all of the people he's hurt over the years with all of his cheating.

  34. Hi All, We're trying to just let the discussion happen and we don't need to moderate our site because our readers are so intelligent and well mannered they moderate themselves. I did have to delete an address and email address. I think that goes too far in terms of publicly putting someone's info out there. If you all want to exchange this information offline, that's totally up to you. Sorry to have to moderate in this way, but seeing those made me worried we might face some negative repercussions, or you, so want to protect us all.

  38. How many emails have you received to the anti John email??? Haha. Great idea!!!

  39. I'm one of the people that hooked up with John after he lied to me about his current relationship and was even more shocked when he became engaged. I don't think any women deserves to be treated the way that she was or the way I was. But I'm not going to submit anything to the anti-John gmail I just think it will cause more pain, I just want him to come clean and be honest about the whole thing and for her to know what she’s marrying into. I was lied to chronically by him and he was very adamant about not being involved with his girlfriend and for all of the people that have been hurt by this I feel horribly for. Especially now that there is a young child in the mix, who I hope is not Johns. But he lies so much who even knows what else is out there.

  40. My friends had to tell me about this site, I haven't talked to John since he got engaged. I too was involved with him, he use to tell me that he was trying to be a nice guy while he's girlfriend was finding a new place to live since they "split up." Later I found out he got engaged and I refuse to talk to him since. John I'd love to see how your talking your way out of this one, you are such a low life and I wish I never met you.

  41. She better not move out... who's going to pay their bills? She's more pathetic then him. I don't blame him for purposing to her, he really has it made with her. I mean who else is sad enough to put up with that? She goes to work and he has the rough schedule of finding out who to contact to cheat on her with. Beth maybe your first problem was being with someone prettier then you... I really hope he's worth it. Have another shot because you're in for a real wonderful marriage.

    ReplyDelete
  42. OMG! John used the SAME line with me about him being nice to Sarah while she was looking for another place to live in New York. Wow! This guy doesn't quit. His mother must be so ashamed of him. And Beth - well that's a whole other story. When will we hear about their breakup because at this point, so many woman have come forward, why in the hell would she stick around??? P.S. When is John going to get a JOB?

    ReplyDelete
  43. John has been re-hired by Young and Restess. He begun taping last week and will be back on screen sometime mid-November.

    Just for the record, John was never fired from Y&R for flirting with one of the employees in the casting department.

    The person who posted this information was definitely not telling the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Just for the record (not that I was the one who posted him being fired from Y&R) but he doesn't make crap on the show. She is supporting him while he cheats on her non stop. He texts me specifically when she goes out of town. Even when he knew I had a boyfriend he wouldn't quit. Now his address is up online and I'm hoping to god that my boyfriend doesn't see it. I've told John numerous times to back off and he still send me disgusting pictures of himself, I'm with the person who posted that he's a very sick man.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I feel like now we are talking about a dozen women who he has cheated with. We should go to TMZ with this info and all the photos. Once you've been with John, you know what he looks like. Crooked anyone?

  46. I'm amused by all of the John's a user and his girlfriend's a pathetic doormat comments from the fools who slept with him. Are you ladies trying to come up with a sorority name yet?

    Sad, but very eye-opening insight to females and soap opera fandoms.

    ReplyDelete
  47. The only fool is the one who was bold enough to sleep with people in his own building and think that he wouldn't get caught. Who's really the sad one? Remember he is a professional actor so go to hell before you call me a doormate, he had to tell me that he was on a show, I've never even seen him on it or watch it. So keep your asshole comment to yourself about a sorority name.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I've personally known John since 1996 so I am not a fan. I've never watched a soap opera in my life! So before you go judging those of us who have been with john over the years, think before you speak again. I knew this kid before he was EVER an actor and when everyone thought he was gay.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I posted the comment about John back on Young and Restless. I also know John and was very good friends with Sarah, ex-girlfriend, when I lived in New York.

    I beleive what the ladies are saying about John not being faithful to his fiance'. He lived with Sarah for 3 years and was not faithful to her, so this is no surprise to hear. She was so hurt and felt so betrayed when she discovered the many affairs he had. That is why she terminated the realtionship, which is common knowledge to everyone they were friends with.

    I commented about his return to Y&R because I do not think it is fair to say that a man was fired from a job for flirting with an employee, when this is false and could damage a man's opportunity to find a job.

    ReplyDelete
  50. The only thing that is really eye-opening is the shame portral that he displays as being this "nice guy", now it's out there publically for all to know what type of man he really is.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oh and might I add that when I did meet him I thought he was gay and would make a good friend, little did I know I would be getting sent naked pictures of himself. So don't you dare imply that I'm some type of fame whore whoever had the gaul to write that, I only gave him my number thinking I'd have a new gay friend. Now I have on my hands an angry boyfriend who went through my phone and discovered all of the sick things he was sending me.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I hope the mother of the child sues for slander..I'm sure she didn't ask for her name and description to be posted all over. She also probably has more class on the tip of her fingers then John has in in his entire body.

    ReplyDelete
  53. It is fact that John was hitting on too many women at work on Y&R and that's why he got let go. They told him he got fired because he wasn't "edgy" enough and that he could seldomly come back to do guest appearances. But...it is common knowledge with all of us who work on the show that he got let go for hitting on too many co-workers and they all complained about it.

    ReplyDelete
  54. The sad thing is some of these women that John had affairs with really had feelings for him. They thought he was single and really felt like they were falling in love with him. It's just a shame that he seems to be a good guy but really isn't. Let him be a problem for who ever will have him.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Thank you for whoever posted the two comments above. I wasn't falling for him or anything or did anything with him. I really thought he was gay when I met him and casually gave him my number thinking he'd make a new gay friend. Then he started blowing up my phone with pictures and texts. Now my relationships in turmoil because my boyfriend saw them. My only regret is having a young new mother come forward instead of myself.

  56. With all of the consistencies, he's sound as though he is "clearly is not rational" and seemed to have “jeopardized his career” and “ his relationship with his fiancée” all on his own. What the hell’s wrong with this guy and how long did he think he could live all these lies?

  57. So I'm a fan of Y&R, not John Driscoll. I was so glad to see him off the show especially after reading was a manipulator he is.

    I just finished watching today's episode and he's back on the show!!

    Y&R made a horrible mistake letting him back on the show. I'll no longer watch the show for as long as he's on it.

  59. I am delighted that John is back on Y&R. He is so handsome and I love the character he portrays.

    What John does in his personal life is his buisness and not the viewers of Y&R.

    Leave his personal life out of his acting career. One has nothing to do with the other.

    Lighten up ladies and move on already!

  60. Um yeah he sets a "real good example" as a role model, he can't even be professional to those he works with. So if you support a guy who lies and disrespects women, including his own fiancée and co-workers, and tarnishes the reputation of a new young mother then maybe he should be back on the show. Personally I won’t watch either as long as he’s on there, I have two sons and I think it reflects poorly on Y&R to have someone with that type of character representing their show.

  61. We are entitled to our opinions. If John really conducted bad behavior with his lady co-workers on Y&R, do you really think MAB would have him back on the set. I really do not think so. There are many good male soap actors un-employed, she could easily re-cast the character.

    I know an employee of the casting department on Y&R and took liberty in asking her about these rumors. She said "to my knowkledge, John has never been dis-respectful to any female employee or actress on Y&R. He is very well liked by all."

    If we stop watching a show because an actor or actress has skeletons in their closet, we probably would not be watching any shows, soaps,etc.

    I am not saying that cheating on your fiance is the proper thing to do, but that is his business. If he cheated, then shame on him. This is his fiance's problem to deal with.

    Just my opinion!

  63. I am very close to one of the employees on the set of Y&R. The set is very clicky and no one cares enough about John to really discuss him all that much. When he got killed off and no one knew if he was coming back to the show as a regular character. No one even knew it was his last day. Also, I know a few women John pursued too far that work on the show and they did complain enough to effect his paycheck. Obviously those working on Y&R weren't completely happy with him. He was unemployed for 4 months.

    With that all said...John can be a nice guy when he wants to be. He clearly has issues with his close relationships and being loyal to those he claims to love.

    I hope he can start making wiser choices and that the new mom of his baby or not, has a peaceful life away from his drama.

    I guess..."The Show Must Go On."

  64. None of you truly know him if you think he's a respectful "nice guy" I guess you've never received one of his lovely text message images.

  65. I love whoever wrote "Beth has what you all want but can't have" I thought the problem was was that we all had him???? ......

    And trust me when I say he wasn't that good.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Ha! You are right! He wasn't good at all...and he's crooked! I still think he's gay and trying to be with as many women as possible to avoid that conversation with himself.

    ReplyDelete
  67. He's crooked physically and mentally

    ...and as a bonus very effeminate lol.

    ReplyDelete
  68. This is CRAZY ... I eventually realized John was lying to me but I never thought he was lying to this many people! Everything that has been written about him in these comments is true. I used to receive the texts and pics ... he clearly operates in the same way with everyone and he's not careful at all.

    I don't have much to prove it anymore as I erased everything, but I do have an email or two from last year. I heard all the same stories about Beth from him too -- she's a drunk and controlling and they don't have sex and they always fight -- but he likes it, I think. He likes being with someone who is more insecure than he is and who would allow his behavior.

    I agree that he is probably gay but doesn't want to face it and that's why he engages in this manipulative behavior. It's like he needs to prove that women are into him. I think underneath it all he can be very nice to talk to and he has a lot of good qualities. I always hoped for his sake that he would get help with his issues. Sometimes it takes something like this whole mess to happen for someone to truly transform. I wish him the best.

  69. I think more people would be empathetic to Beth if she didn’t have such a self-righteous attitude all the time. The best revenge would be to let her stumble down the aisle twisted to her beautiful “faithful” bride to be and to hope like hell that she doesn’t pass out drunk during the reception because by that time John would have already taken someone else home that night. He seriously has no shame and I can’t even bring myself to imagine how many other women are out there.

  70. I beleive everything these ladies are saying about John. I am a good friend of Sarah, a lady he lived with in New York for 3 years. He definitely cheated on her and hurt her badly.

    My question is, why is he geting married to this Beth person? I think they have been living together for a while. If she has a drinking problem,etc. then why? With due respect, she is not very pretty. She is quite homely.

    The way he likes to run around with a variety of ladies, I would think he would have no interest in marriage at all. Just curious!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I always used to ask John why he was staying with Beth if their relationship was so bad, and he didn't have much of a response ...

    I think they're both terrified of being alone and she's an easy target because he knows she'll do anything to maintain the relationship. She was like a leech when they first started talking. I stopped talking to him after a while because she totally monopolized him, would drive up to NYC every weekend to see him. He's a people pleaser who can't tell the truth about what he truly wants (if he even knows), so he just let her move to LA to be with him even though I don't think he really wanted her there!

    I was not surprised that they got engaged, it sounds exactly like something he would do. He was probably like "what the heck, I can marry her and cheat on her, it's so easy now!" The person who wrote that he has it made with Beth is so right.

  72. Thanks for answering my post. You are so right, John does not want to be alone. He begged Sarah to move in with him. She was reluctant at first, but fell madly in love with him. He was very kind and good to her, but never spoke of marriage, which did concern her.

    All of her friends, including myself really liked John. He was kind, warm and easy to talk with.

    Unfortunately, the truth came out with a bang! Sarah discovered the many affairs he had during their relationship. She was so hurt and felt so betrayed. Un-like this Beth person, she vacated the apartment they shared. Sarah would not tolerate a man cheating on her. She is too smart and beautiful to put up with that.

    This Beth person sounds pitiful with no self-respect. Good luck to both of them! Maybe he has learned his lesson and will do right for a change.

  73. Can anyone answer if its his baby or not? I haven't heard anything final? I'm just curious?

  74. According to the DNA test results, posted on TMZ and Michael Fairman Soaps, John is not the baby's father.

  75. October 1st is when TMZ broke this story. By the end of October it has been confirmed that John & Beth moved back to their hometown of Woodbridge, VA.

    It has been confirmed that John also is going to be joining the National Guard.

    Sounds like John couldn't take the heat or he's lieing and running from paternity/child support.

    Whatever the case is, it doesn't matter what state he's in...he's still a cheater. Good luck Beth.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Thank you for answering my question about the paternity, I read that on TMZ but he lies so much to me and keeps telling me she was so deranged fan (of course I know she wasn't) I didn't know if he was lying about the paternity as well. Anyways Beth is staying with him through this to, I wonder what her wedding guests and family are going to think when they know he's been doing this? It's kind of sad to know that there are women out there that would put up with that kind of behavior and worse continue to agree to marry someone like that.

    ReplyDelete
  77. What a coward..I mean really. First he scapegoats his cheating ways on a “fan” who he claims isn’t rational who then turns out to be a neighbor AND a new young mother, then he wastes everyone’s time and doesn’t have the balls to show up for the court date, and for the grand finale a month later he flees the state and joins the National Guard.

    It looks like all of his deception over the years has finally caught up with him and he runs like a true coward instead of facing the music. And what’s not any better and (people should be ashamed of themselves) is that everyone was first to attack a new mother and go as far as to talk about her weight! She was the only one with the guts to come out about it before other women came forward. And from what I can read, it looks like she has good friends out there who stood up for her and now the truth is finally revealed. I think people should really look at the double standard and Rebecka if you read this (whoever you are) you should be the one who should truly be wished the best, not some chicken shit liar.

  78. My thoughts exactly ... he finally messed with the wrong person.

    One of the reasons I never suspected that he did this with numerous women was that, while I never came forward with information about him, I assumed that most women would do so. Because I think Beth is unstable, I always assumed it would be more trouble than it was worth and that she wouldn't believe me (or do anything about it if she did believe me) anyway.

    But good for this Rebekah gal for calling it like it is ...

  79. I am a bit confused about John. He is still on Y&R and was suppose to be on for a while, with an upcoming story for him.

    If he moved to Virginia, what happened to his role on Y&R? Was he terminated?

    Just curious!

    ReplyDelete
  80. He 100% moved back. I'm not sure what happend with his role, but I am positive that he moved back (aka he's already contacting one of my gf's to "hang out"..looks like he has women lined up in VA as well as Los Angeles).

    ReplyDelete
  81. Thank you for responding to my post. I wonder if Y&R terminated him because of the scandal, which is quite possible.

    Already, contacting ladies in Virginia. Maybe he and Beth are no longer together. If they are both from Virgina, perhaps she left because there was nothing keeping her in LA and he left because of the scandal.

    If they are still together, this is a very abnormal relationship!

    I met John once at an event in New York City. He appeared to be a nice gentleman with all of the ladies. I really thought he was a great guy and a good catch for some lady.

    He and I spoke for a while. He talked about his family in Virginia and said they were a very close family, etc. He noticed my wedding ring and said "too bad you are married because you are an adorable little blonde. Good things come in little packages". I thought at the time, he was just kidding and having fun. Perhaps not!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Sure, I already forwarded my gf this site so she doesn't see him or talk to him ever again. As far as I know Beth is remaining with him, she would never not stay with him (she's always known about his cheating). I'm not sure if she knows the high influx of women, but she's defiantly known for awhile and turned her head the other way.

    He was defiantly serious, I'm surprised he left you alone after you told him you were married. Marriage obviously means absolutely nothing to him. I just want to protect my friend and for her to stay away far far away from him.

  83. If John's such a liar and he took this at home paternity test...can he be trusted to have submitted an accurate DNA test? He is obviously so deceitful. I wouldn't put it past him to do something like that. The only reason I mention that is the fact that he moved to Virginia so quickly. It sounds like he's trying to avoid paying child support. This is just a thought. Either way...it didn't take much to run John Driscoll out of Hollywood. I hope for the sake of this new mother that she never has any contact with John again.

    I think if anyone remotely knows John or knows of him they will have read up on him. Hopefully the future women he tries to seduce will know better before they make a huge mistake!

  84. I was going through some old photos on my computer - deleting stuff I didn't want - and what did I stumble upon? Photos of John!!!! So I definitely have proof! Just in case anyone wants it! I am going to reach out to my friends to see if any of them have been contacted now that he's in Virginia. Hilarious. I don't feel sorry for him or for Beth. They are both idiots.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I seriously still don’t know what the problem is? I thought it was a known fact to ALL that he slept around? Including with his, “reputation to friends, family and more seriously my place of employment & employees (CBS - Y&R).” And that it was equally known that Beth had “great remorse and even health issues," hence being an alcoholic in its finest form.

    Again, what’s the problem? He took pictures and sent racy text message without any hesitation because it once more has always been a known fact to all. She should seriously marry him, they really do deserve one another.

  86. Does anyone have an update on this story? Did Beth and John really get married?

    1. Beth and John haven't been together for over 2 years now. They live in the same hometown and he's still trying to get her back on a daily basis but the last I heard/saw she's been engaged for awhile to someone she's known since middle school. From FB, she looks really happy and John is still an a*@hole. Some poor girl will read all about him one day and hopefully move on before getting sucked in.
