To think she owes him a public apology?

Has anyone else been following this story?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15024445/Conor-Maynard-paternity-test-results-revealed-Charlotte-Chilton-demanded-second-test-ongoing-row-daughter-Penelope.html

Brief summary: Charlotte, from S2 of The Traitors UK, claimed she had a ONS with Conor Maynard, resulting in the birth of her daughter. She was quick to drag his name through the mud as being a deadbeat dad for not providing her with support, but two paternity tests later, it has been conclusively revealed that he isn't the father.

What an embarrassing situation for her. Surely as a woman if you're shagging multiple men at a similar time, it's basic sense to at least be sure of who the father is before publicly naming them and making accusations!

Perhaps she hoped it was Conor because he was single at the time, and the other potential father/s weren't?!

That poor girl. She's going to see all this online when she grows up. And all because of her mother's stupidity.

Surely Charlotte owes Conor a grovelling public apology at the very least?

Charlotte Chilton breaks her silence over second paternity test result

Charlotte, 32, announced in June last year that Conor, also 32, was the father of her unborn 'miracle' baby.

I’ve never heard of either of these people, however…this does sound strange. If she’s been public/adamant/requested a 2nd test etc, it indicates that she was absolutely certain that he’s the father. Very strange indeed. This child has got a father so if it isn’t this man, who is it? As no other man seems to have materialised during this saga.

It's because she's become fixated on him being the father. She's after her 5 minutes of fame and probably thought if she could convince him the baby's his she'd be set for life. Only he wasn't stupid.

Invaluable contribution to thread.

Show quote history

i agreed with her

SaltAirAndTheRust · 23/08/2025 08:45

YANBU

She has made some insane claims, that he was the one who slept with her, but another man was there, drugs were involved and so she doesn’t know if anyone else slept with her etc etc.

She wanted it to be him because he’s wealthy. It’s not, but she can’t let go of that idea. She should just disappear off now and focus on raising her baby girl. He should sue her.

It's a bit shameless not to even know who the father is. Still who are we to judge. I think she should sue him.

Edited

Why should she sue him?

taxidriver · 23/08/2025 08:39

no me neither, i dont know him, and i googled her

OrsolaRosso · 23/08/2025 08:31

Are there other pics of the baby other than the one in the Daily Mail article? Because in that she has that baby look where you could probably spot a resemblance to anyone!

And is that photo of Charlotte and Conor taken on the actual one night stand? Did he know it was being taken?

It's all very odd.

taxidriver · 23/08/2025 08:23

this was in the second series?
i dont remember, did i watch the second series? is that the most recent one?
oh i have just googled, this was when poor molly was hoodwinked
i dont think i liked her

TimeForATerf · 23/08/2025 08:23

I’ve had to look this lot up even though I watched series 2 of traitors. I can’t remember either of them tbh, I remember the winner only.

That baby has a very distinct look and it isn’t her mother’s, I don’t believe Charlotte doesn’t know who the father is. Like others have said, she probably has a type, and probably doesn’t know or have a way of contacting the other possible father.

ThatNattyPlayer · 23/08/2025 08:19

She’s a bit strange, she’s spent ages slamming him saying he won’t pay for his child or acknowledge the child and I think she knew all along the baby wasn’t his but had got into it too deep and would look a fool so she continued.
she probably knows he’s a rep for being a player and thought nobody would question the paternity.

Is he even that rich? Seems like a lot of effort for a grift on her part.

I think his parents do. The statement was so hyperbolic and made her looks even more foolish. I do feel sorry for her as she’s obviously struggling with a lot.

But the baby is the absolute spitting image of him… why double order a paternity test if you know he’s probably not the father? I think he’s cheating the system here.

What's more likely? That he's somehow found a way to cheat on DNA tests, or that she's attracted to a particular type and the actual father just looks very similar to him?

Apology should be as public as the original accusation, IMO.

Eh?

hellohellooo · 22/08/2025 21:27

Ok I agree

And yes it is madness

Have you seen how much the baby looks like him

What, strong jaw, good head of curly hair and a light beard?

diddl · 23/08/2025 08:02

I think the baby looks similar to him.

But maybe she looks similar to her father also?

Why would she publicly be so sure it's him?

TottyMaude · 23/08/2025 07:59

Why are all these people just shagging randomers? They're like dogs shagging your leg. Yuk

Wtafdidido · 23/08/2025 07:47

She has made an absolute fool of herself and lost all credibility. She has the morals of an alley cat. The second paternity test was done u see extremely strict control and supervision and is 100% clear he is not the father. She dragged this poor man and his family through the mud for well over a year and lied about everything. The very very least she owes him is a very public apology. Why did she choose him to accuse she so obviously she was also screwing someone else? Or wa that another one night stand and she has no idea who the person was? Either way she is a liar, a cheat and really does not deserve to be the parent of this beautiful, blameless child.

PudgeJudy · 23/08/2025 07:41

It’s incredibly rare, but there have been cases of chimerism causing babies to not match parental DNA (including mothers not matching their children’s DNA). I believe that different types of samples can reveal different DNA in the same person, so multiple samples should be tested (saliva, blood, thyroid). It happens when one embryo “absorbs” a second embryo (its twin) in the womb. The fact she is so positive he’s the father does make me wonder if this is one of those cases.

cheesycheesy · 23/08/2025 07:31

This chancer has had 2 dna tests which prove her baby isn’t his. All babies look like Winston Churchill. She doesn’t look like Conor. Why do people think this?

BlueandPinkSwan · 23/08/2025 07:19

SpinandSing · 22/08/2025 21:36

Agree with Hellohellooo...the baby is the absolute double of him so who knows what's going on here.

Really? Chabby hasn't got a beard or a 'tache😃

People who claim that baby looks the "double" of Maynard must be looking through beer goggles or something. She looks nothing like him.

I think Connor Maynard just has a round baby face so he looks like a lot of babies.
