Thought it was ironic today that all throught he Man U v Chelsea match they kept, repeatedly refering to Ryan Giggs as a gentleman.
Dh says that he has it on good authority that Ryan ' Imogen Thomas Super-Injunction' Giggs, can really no longer be referrered to as 'such a gentleman' !!

UrsulaBuffay · 08/05/2011 20:17

PMSL I just came straight here after reading that paragraph!!

MollysChamber · 08/05/2011 20:35

Me too. DM surely sailing v close to the wind with that one.

StickyFloor · 08/05/2011 23:17

OK ladies, admit it, you have to love love love the DM sometimes.

I only skim read it devoured every page but apart from the para quoted above, there are also 2 other separate references to Hugh B referring to him in a sarcy way for being such a gentleman, great image and family man.

Apparently they don't give a toss about the super-injunction after all.

Oblomov · 09/05/2011 13:41

Errrmm, helloooooo. My reference to R Giggs was not DM related. Dh has it on it very good authority. From inside the football world and the horse racing world. Not the DM. Give me some credit !!

I have only ever revealed one piece of gossip prior to this, from our football and racing sources. And I was right about that. I have zero doubt that this is correct too. You will see.

?? Confused

Bishopsbuddy · 11/04/2016 11:13

Did I not hear that the name was printed in a Scottish newspaper?

Dos no one read that paper?

Do we know which paper it was?

Am I way behind the times?Hmm

CadleCrap · 11/04/2016 11:16

This thread is 5 years old!
Guessing the latest super injunction is nothing to do with this.

LaConnerie · 11/04/2016 11:17

Hence my confusion that this thread has been at the top of 'trending' all morning cadle!

firesidechat · 11/04/2016 11:23

It's to do with clicks apparently, so lots of people viewing old threads about celebrity scandals and gagging orders. I'm surprised that so many people care about this pointless stuff.

SheHasAWildHeart · 11/04/2016 11:36

The current super injunction does not involve a British actor - and is all about the press making an issue out of a non-issue under the pretence of free speech/in the publics interest etc etc.

mmmnmmk · 18/04/2016 18:54

Maybe not an actor more of an entertainer. His partner/husband is a filmmaker not actor

Queenbean · 18/04/2016 18:58

What was the answe to this though?!

MattDillonsPants · 05/05/2016 06:56

Can someone PLEASE PM me?? I can't work it out!

KeyserSophie · 05/05/2016 07:06

"OUTED: US publication names famous 'family man' actor who used legal gag to cover up his sex with Wayne Rooney ..."

WTF??????

Goes on to say .... "prostitute who says he 'kissed like a virgin and eagerly agreed to a sex toy'

Oh, right!! be careful where you cut subtitle off !!

Berthatydfil · 05/05/2016 07:14

There are 2 super injunctions one is the married Celeb in a threesome and the other is the married actor with a prostiute. The latter goes back several years but the us press have got hold of it which is why it's back in the media. The name was widely quoted at the time.
Think Billy Joel song linked to a house of nuns

TrojanWhore · 05/05/2016 07:19

FFS.

This is a ZOMBIE thread from 2011, and one of the very few on superinjuctiins where everyone stayed sufficiently within the rules so it wasn't deleted.

If it's scribbled on now, about another, completely different case, are we going to lose the whole thread?

Anyone would think that there was a concerted effort by supporters/PR agents of individuals concerned to get rid of all trace.

Marthacliffscumbag · 05/05/2016 07:20

He took out the injunction in 2011, it's only just coming to light now. He will be named in the US media today. It will fuck his career right up over there as he is hero worshipped in America!!!
I was surprised to learn who it was but there is no 'type' to use prostitutes I suppose.

MattDillonsPants · 05/05/2016 07:20

Confused Jack Convent? What do you mean Bertha? House of nuns and Billy Joel song?

MattDillonsPants · 05/05/2016 07:21

Trojan it's the same case though. It's just been re-animated.

AgingJuvenileBinkyHuckaback · 05/05/2016 07:32

Yes this specific thread has been awoken from the dead because this specific story has been revived.

Daily Telegraph story does not name names obvs but makes it clear that it's the same story.

Berthatydfil · 05/05/2016 07:33

It's a hint to the name of the actor in the old injunction case - sorry not too bright this time of the morning pm me if you want

MattDillonsPants · 05/05/2016 07:34

I just don't understand! I will PM then!

Berengaria13 · 05/05/2016 11:32

The amount she received to sleep with him was way to low. He is hideously ugly imo and reminds me of a wet blanket. Yukky yuk yuk. Sex with him...... Shudders at the very idea of it. Confused

KeyserSophie · 05/05/2016 12:49

If you want to know, just go on Twitter and search "Helen Wood Injunction"
