AIBU ... to not understand the problem with Michael Buble?

I read a story about his wife being pregnant for the 4th time and then read the comments underneath it. They call him a bully. Say they "won't forget how he treated her on that video." That he is an arrogant narcissist lying cheat. That he treated Emily Blunt appallingly.

I have never seen anything about Micky Bubble like this before! :D

Can anyone enlighten me. I am baffled.

Why did uou bump an old thread? Weird

Never paid much attention to his music, there seem many much better at his style. Did not know about his private life, other than the relationship with Emily Blunt, who I agree has upgraded.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 22/02/2022 11:37

Oh wow. I didn't know anything like this about him!! What a horrible arsehole. All I knew about him is that I would rather shit in my hands and clap, than listen to his nauseating, cheesy music.

Rosehugger · 22/02/2022 11:27

Meh. Doesn't look like anything much to me.

@PaperTulip

There was lengthy thread on MN during the first lockdown about some FB livestreams they did together. There were quite a number of red flags to me tbh. We know a real life couple going through DM and his behaviour and mannerisms of talking, along with her reactions, were identical. They were incredibly subtle though, just enough so people can pretend it's "nothing". They sound trivial when written down but you have to see them in the context of the video. Eg, in one livestream he complains about her being late because she was baking with the kids and sort of hammered that point in when she finally arrived to make her realise what a mistake it way. She also inadvertently talked over him at one point and he jabbed her with his elbow which caused her to shut up immediately and mouth I'm sorry in such a way it wasn't meant for the live stream audience to see. There was also a few scenes of him gripping her arm quite forcefully as if to control what she did or how she comes across on screen (again, sounds stupid when written down and easily brushed off as many people have done here).

This is the thread. I just looked it up. This is all news to me. Shock

My DH would never elbow me and then grab me but I can see MB is very focussed on the camera and it looking good for the camera. I couldn’t tolerate my DH draping his arm around my neck like that or wrapping himself around me so much and we are really close. It’s a bit off for me. She does look nervous too.

Initially it looks to me as if he elbows her harder than he meant to.

But then the way he grabs her back loos (to me) unnecessarily harsh.

The arm around the neck has always given me the creeps-never had anyone do that to me & it always looks way too possessive.

Maybe some people are OK with it?

RockstarDotCom · 22/02/2022 10:57

you didn't see him elbow her while giving her a dirty look because she spoke?

They act weird in their videos. I didn’t see it as a red flag no. I genuinely thought he was just being a bit silly. But I’m not saying it wasn’t something more or defending him at all. If he’s abusive, I hope she gets away from him and that he’s exposed.

CornishGem1975 · 22/02/2022 10:56

He did shit all over Emily Blunt, they were engaged when he cheated on her.

Shit. Guessing this will get taken down in a bit but omg I did not know this.

We listen to his Christmas album every Christmas morning!! Not sure I'll be doing that again if he's a twat.

I had no idea at all. Never seen anything about it before. But then I'm not a fan and don't follow stories about him. But I always thought he was Mr Nice Guy.

You'd have to be blind not to see how "off" that was. And the way he regularly choke holds her. Ugh. It's subtle but anyone exposed to domestic abuse would recognise it. The snarling face remind me of the way my father was towards my mother. Awful.

LizBennet · 22/02/2022 10:50

Elbows her, looks quickly at her like he's furious and she looks shocked and then quietens? Abusive to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

NutellaEllaElla · 22/02/2022 10:50

I remembered the video, don't know a thing about the Emily Blunt reference though

ComDummings · 22/02/2022 10:49

Video showing the clip ^

VapeVamp12 · 22/02/2022 10:46

I watched the "elbowing" video and really didn't see it as abusive.

ComDummings · 22/02/2022 10:46

The video of him and his wife was horrible IMO. It was only a second but the mask slipped.

Arnia · 22/02/2022 10:43

I felt really unsettled watching that video... and others on youtube. He is not a good man.

LizBennet · 22/02/2022 10:41

Oh aye, Krasinski is way nicer than the Buble.

Pyri · 22/02/2022 10:39

Emily Blunt massively upgraded to John Krazinski though so MB did her a favour

Iheartmysmart · 22/02/2022 10:38

YABU - he’s a rubbery faced twat who inflicts dire ‘music’ on the world.
