I honestly hope it's not true, but I won't hold my breath. Those are some pretty detailed accusations. Either way, I feel sorry for the little boys and I really wonder how is anyone capable of doing something like that?
judging by the article, seems that these news came straight from the girl he cheated on with. reading these article around the net, i found few comments how it's not Liev's first time. it's hearsay, but still...
Maybe every Hollywood personality ought to take a leaf out of Brangelina's and Will and Jada's book, rather than putting unrealistic stock on monogamy.
Monogamy sounds amazing and deliriously romantic on paper, but in an industry which places primacy on appearance, the monogamous paradigm is devolving into a quixotic morass. Embracing more liberal attitudes will, for one thing, remove infidelity out of the equation so no one will end up getting hurt, and secondly, we'll then be spared these seamy and sordid tales. And those in Hollywood who are looking for a monogamous partner need to seek love elsewhere.

^Because it feels like the rate is much higher? I'm not naive. I know that like 1/3 of all marriages end up in divorce. But in Hollywood the rate seems more near 99% - and the last remaining 1% are people who just live with it for whichever reason.
Maybe because they're both doing it.
^Among other reasons.
I don't know. It's just kinda sad that even marriages which look solid is basically because they have a good PR team or something. While sh*t happens in marriages, it seems like SH*T really happens in almost all Hollywood marriages. Does it say something about the people who become actors or is it just me who feels this way?

Sad for Naomi. It sounds true, unfortunately. And those little boys.

Acting is naturally duplicitous, if you think about it. And Hollywood is about as shallow as it gets. Combine the two and you havea recipe for disaster.

Everyone cheats. I almost feel left out because I'm the only one out of all my friends who has never cheated on anyone. And that's probably just due to a lack of being in serious relationships and not because I'm a saint or anything 
I don't think it's that much more common in Hollywood than in other areas in the world or in other industries. It probably just feels that way because we observe everything these people do so closely. If one of my co-workers cheated on their partner I'd probably never find out because I don't care and it's none of my business, but with celebrities we almost feel like we have a right to know about it (and judge them for it). In the end it all comes down to how two people in a relationship handle these things. I think secretly cheating on each other is absolutely awful. I imagine a lot of celebrities have some sort of a deal that allows them to have sex with other people, like Will & Jada.
What I'm more surprised about is that these men are this dumb and always fall for the cheap attention whores!

Not everyone, but perhaps almost everyone. I do know lots of people who don't cheat, but then again, not everyone is exposed to available "body double" types, lol!! The thing about celebrities is that people want to be with them, and wanna-bes in particular want to bed a celeb. So there's the rub - lots of exposure to opportunity. The average person doesn't have people constantly offering themselves to him/her.
Advo, that's the sad part, to me, when children are involved. Because they really do crave a stable family situation, there is no doubt about it. I think in those situations, maybe drinking, away from spouses (another drawback for celebs, they are always traveling), people don't think much, period. They just act on their desires: quite the opposite of "Hamlet".

You know what? I'm sick of fame whores and "sources" going to the press with these kind of stories, usually when they aren't theirs to tell. Just keep your mouth shut. It happens. It happens on a lot of film sets (oh the stories I could tell) and I'm not condoning it, on the contrary, it's awful and he's married with two young kids, but it's nothing new. It should be between him and Naomi, not the rest of the world, though sadly in this day and age that's never going to happen. Yes, I know, if I believe that, I probably shouldn't be commenting on the story I suppose!
I met my other half on a film set, there was no Liev Schreiber-esque cheating involved but he was in a relationship at the time, sounds bad, it wasn't as horrific as it sounds
, but, and this is not an excuse, but I think if people are away from home for long periods of time and in a tight knit little community as most film sets are then these sorts of things become an inevitability. I worked at the Globe Theatre in London early in my career which tends to do a season with numerous companies performing plays. I was told when I started that it would take about three weeks before everyone really settled down because "thats about as long as it takes for everyone to **** everyone they're going to."

This makes me sad. I personally don't get it, because imo, if you want to cheat then just walk away first. How hard can that be in our modern society? I know I complained about the divorce rates, but I'd rather it's 99% of marriages that fall apart than cheating. I think cheating is just cruel and cowardly behaviour. Maybe I'm too much of a romantic/idealist

I like your idealism. And yeah, the bottom line for me isn't the sex, it's the deception.
Leave your present relationship before you cheat, and/or be open from the beginning that monogamy may not be possible Or even may not be what you believe in. Which is fine. I have no problem with people as long as they are honest about their ideals/weaknesses, etc.
Skulking around is just low imo.
But to be realistic, of course it happens, and humans, quite literally, screw up. Lol!

After Courteney and David split I ''gave up'' on Hollywood relationships. I didn't even bat an eyelid with the whole Demi and Ashton thing. I do like Naomi and Liev. Hopefully this turns out to be crap but I won't hold my breath.
Word. It's not so much the sex than the deception that makes infidelity so completely deplorable. No one can guarantee emotional fidelity to one's partner, because our emotions and feelings isn't something we can control at every point of our lives, but what we choose to do with our bodies is something that's very much under our volitions.
Not everyone is a creature of circumstance or completely shorn of every last ounce of their free will. I find it very hard to make a case for cheaters or sympathise with them or condone their actions because that would tantamount to making a case for their disregard of their partner's feelings or sympathising with their selfishness or condoning their betrayal of their partner's trust. I may be sounding very antediluvian or just very Anglo-Saxon here, but for me, trust forms the fabric of all relationships, and if one can't trust their partner anymore, then I guess the writing is on the wall that the relationship has run its course. Some soldier on with their relationships even after the infidelity, but it's pretty rough sailing and takes effort, time, repentance and forgiveness to weather the storm, and many don't manage to weather it in the end.
