Yes, appearances can be deceiving. Outrageous Debonaire (OD) would have been the subject of many tabloid reports had he not taken that all-important warning call while he was checked in at a spa.
You see, OD was having “extra service” done on him (read: paid sex) on the night police investigators conducted a raid on the establishment. But because OD is considered a VIP, he got a quick tip from people running the spa not to pass by the building’s regular entrance and exit through its secret back door, instead.
That was a “close call” for OD, whose wife would have raised hell had she found out where her “hardworking” husband had been.
