Shortly after Paige Shiver's ABC TV interview aired Friday morning about her years-long affair with fired University of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore, Deadline Detroit readers responded very critically to her on social media.

"I don’t care to hear about what she has to say. She knew he was married with children and seen his family at the games every week," wrote Debbie McIntosh on Deadline Detroit's Facebook page. 

Cynthia Toney wrote:

"I’m sorry, but why would they interview this woman? She shouldn’t be given airtime. Unless, they are going to give the same airtime to Moore. She is as much at fault as he is."

In the interview aired on ABC's Good Morning America, Shiver, 32, said she thought she loved Moore,40, but reflecting on what happened, "that's not love at all."

Shiver, who was the former executive assistant to Moore, said he had complete control over her emotions and career, knowing he could fire her at any time. And she says he manipulated her into staying in the on-and-off relationship for four years.

She also said at one point she got pregnant with Moore, who is married with children. She wanted to have the baby. But doctors told her she had Pompe, a genetic disorder that weakens muscle strength, and that she shouldn't go through with the pregnancy. So, she got an abortion.

Here's some other comments on Deadline Detroit's Facebook page:

Sarah Dare:
·
Are people supposed to feel sorry for either of them? I know I don’t.

Gary Richert:
·
She’ll be on a reality show soon

Lovey Richardson:

So where did the Plan B pill come in?

Jan Laveque:
·
I think some things should be kept private. The fact she got pregnant and had an abortion is no one’s business. Old saying “It takes two to tango!” She is not innocent and has zero class having a relationship with a married man whose wife is pregnant.

Loria Corder:

No matter how she shapes this story, as a woman she will always be viewed as the home wrecker, the mattress queen a reputation forever.
There’s a saying that still stands when it comes to women and how they carry themselves. For some men can go out there and have several women & it gets thrown under the rug or still blend in with society but women when they do what she did as a mattress queen and home wrecker she will have the tag hanging over her head no matter what , you might not blend in with other women well with that type of reputation.

Barbara Markman:
·
Doesn't anyone feel honest-to-goodness shame any more?

Everly Tucker:

She’s hoping she gets sympathy. No ma’am!

Yvonne Black:
·
She's building her civil lawsuit claiming emotional trauma.

Lisa Voigt Krenn:
·
When she entered into the affair with Sherrone she knew he was married. She is just at fault as he is.

Richard Hauck:
·
Irrelevant news. Let all these folks along to get the help they need. He’s wrong. She’s wrong. Move along.

Mary Banks:
·
It takes two for that to happen and apparently she was a willing participant! Now she wants to play the victim game!!

Johann Majer:
·
Could u imagine the outrage if someone else received the same punishment , he did of probation.

Linda Niczay:
·
She participated of her own free will. I'm sure she knew right from wrong. So instead of accepting her responsibility in this fiasco, she wants to talk. I'm thinking she should recede into the background to be forgotten eventually

MsLes Jones-Shepherd:
·
She needs to shut up...she wasn't talking about it during the affair with someone else's husband! Guess she gearing up to sue.

Adele Johnson:
·
He was wrong and so were you! You should've said no! You got caught up just like he did! You could've walked away at anytime! Now you want him to go to jail for what? Next time stay away from married men! Now you go on national tv trying to make him look bad but you look bad for getting involved with him! He was not going to leave his family for you! Learn from this foolishness and do better!
