I too was disappointed in Petit's behavior towards those who supported him so magnificently. Human beings are really complex and sometimes great artists make personal choices that I don't agree with, but I still appreciate their work. I admire most those who make a success of both.

They don't seem to be his friends any more. In particular, just about the first thing he did after having completed the walk was to sleep with a stranger and destroy the relationship with his girlfriend. The men were similarly discarded. I thought he was quite ruthless.
