"  Although Elisabeth Moss has always been a standout as proto-feminist heroine Peggy Olsen on Mad Men, we didn&amp;#039;t get to see much of Moss&amp;#039;s real-life personality until her notoriously messy split with Saturday Night Live (now Portlandia) funnyman Fred Armisen. After their marriage of only 8 months, the two divorced amongst rumors that he had been having an affair with his younger SNL co-star Abby Elliot, who he continued to date once he and Moss were officially broken up. Refreshingly, Moss didn&amp;#039;t indulge in the Hollywood fakery of &amp;quot;amicable&amp;quot; breakups and the &amp;quot;we&amp;#039;re still friends&amp;quot; rigamarole we&amp;#039;re used to. When asked shortly after their divorce about Armisen, she replied: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s so great at doing impersonations, but the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.&amp;quot; (A+ response, in my book.) And she stands by it, too. This morning a reporter for the New York Times Magazine mentioned to Moss how cutting that quote was, and she replied: &amp;quot;Thank you!&amp;quot; A+++ again. Owned it. She added: &amp;quot;Oh, God. I learned so much [from the marriage and divorce]. Not to be at all Oprah on you, but it is one of those things where you are kind of glad to have learned those lessons at an early age \u2014 to get them out of the way.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s a great example of why Elisabeth Moss is the quintessential Cosmo girl, as far as we&amp;#039;re concerned. That&amp;#039;s the thing about divorce. Whether you&amp;#039;re a celebrity or a Muggle, for awhile, things simply will not be okay. And then eventually, after some time and thinking and red velvet cupcakes and the occasional tequila shooter or three, they will be. So until then, say your piece, remember the lessons learned, then move on and continue to kick ass. So yay for Elisabeth Moss! And get a beer with us, Elisabeth. We could always use some lessons. Incidentally, since Moss slammed him, Armisen himself has confirmed that he&amp;#039;s terrible at relationships: &amp;quot;I think I was a terrible husband, I think I&amp;#039;m a terrible boyfriend. I feel bad for everyone I&amp;#039;ve gone out with.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s the other thing about dating or marrying the wrong guy. Karma&amp;#039;s a bitch, and they&amp;#039;ll get theirs in the end. Follow Anna on Twitter: @annabreslaw Image: ABC "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
