whenever there is something online about this woman… the haters come out in force. today someone calling her “a Katie price that can keep a husband”

what is the problem? She seems like a fairly inoffensive woman who has made a success out of her life (and that was her own success: she had it before she met David)

Successful, knowing her own mind and not falling into the normal wag frame. I also think she keeps a lot fairly private and people don’t like that. So they make up their own shit.

I find it really odd too. Whenever I've seen her being interviewed she's always come across as being funny, intelligent and down to earth.
I've never heard anything about her cheating on her dh and seems to adore and support her dc.

I can only presume because she keeps herself to herself privacy and has become successful in her own right - the haters are as a result of disliking people who appear to do well, especially women

Anything like this is delivered by jealousy.

At the end of the day, she achieved fame and fortune, married a handsome husband and has a lovely family and life.

Some People can’t stand it when others do well.

Perhaps because some people resent success that they believe isn't warranted.

It’s odd . On another thread someone said she was famous because of her husband 🤣

I don't know much about her, but I can't say I'm aware of anything especially awful she's done.

I don't get it either, I think she's genuinely funny and nice. Misogyny and internalised misogyny runs deep in society so probably would go some way to explain it.
