@MsTSwift

Is it me or do their children essentially have the same name?
Far too similar for sisters!

@Janegrey333

Anyway, the rumour is he's left her for a chap.

Really? I don’t like him. He was a stalker and a serial date rapist / would be murderer, in a drama I watched. Creepy.

This is the most stupid thing I’ve read on the internet in quite some time. And that’s saying something!

Dirty laundry...... no need for a spat. Keep it private.

You haven't seen any of @Janegrey333's other posts then Grin

I'll support anybody to leave a relationship they dont want to be in whilst the other person shit stirs and causes drama and trouble. Should he be made to stay?

@ShesMadeATwatOfMePam

Wow her Instagram makes her come across as super needy and resentful of him.
Yeah I thought her Instagram was really weird too.
Viviennemary · 27/01/2021 19:30

I saw it this morning. I really liked Ioan Gruffudd in Hornblower. Though it's not my usual type of programme. If she hadn't posted that now deleted tweet I expect all this would have not been noticed by anyone. But I do think it's their business.

Oh I do like him, he was the only officer from the titanic who went back and looked for survivors you know. Bloody good bloke.

OwlLovesTea · 27/01/2021 19:56

what did her deleted tweet say?

Butchyrestingface · 27/01/2021 20:40

Has it yet been established who/what the "secret actress in the Guardian" is?

Thanks in anticipation. Flowers

rosetylersbiggun · 27/01/2021 20:47

Secret [Job Title] is an regular column the Guardian used to publish, where people working in unusual or high profile jobs would anonymously share their experiences. Alice Evans wrote three anonymous pieces for them.

I've got it now. Smile. Didn't realise they were all written by different people. I was reading one where it said the SA was "Oscar nominated" and was thinking, well, that's bloody well not her, is it?

God bless his wee cotton socks.

Sorry to bump this thread but is anyone still reading her Instagram posts? She is coming across as a bit unhinged..Shock

buzzing · 04/03/2021 09:33

When I read the title the images in my head were of these two people ... was very confused as I didn’t know they were in a relationship, let alone split up.

I was very wrong Grin

She's coming across as someone trying to make sense of a major change in her life, the only difference is that she's doing it on social media. So what?

CommunistLegoBloc · 04/03/2021 09:46

Why do women play into the vernacular that other women are unhinged, mad, psychotic? It's a line men feed them to excuse their own shitty behaviour and redirect blame. Fuck that.

This type of tripe really annoys me. You're pro-women but only those that agree with you.

Women are allowed to disagree with another woman without being told they are feeding into misogyny.

It is not ok for a man to tell a woman what to think. It is equally not ok for another woman to tell a woman what to think and it is not ok to infer that the woman must be of low intelligence and easily influenced.

Pinkmoon33 · 04/03/2021 10:50

I think she is wrong for posting this all over social media and it's unfair for her kids to have to read all this stuff about their father. It really is a private affair and she needs to work it out with him or talk to friends about it on the phone. It snacks a bit of her trying to get sympathy and paint him as some kind of abusive deadbeat for wanting to break up with her which seems unfair.

Ahh the data lounge. That well known den of truth. Reality is almost every male celeb can be found in there with rumour and gossip from some anonymous soul behind a keyboard.

As for Ioan, the scum that is the DM seem to be pushing pictures of his Harrow co star into every article, dropping hints as subtle as house bricks. Only thing is, they list said co star as being 30 when in reality a quick look at her instagram has her in school uniform barely 4 years ago so she cant be more than 20 or so.

Alice seems to be lashing out. Ioan's silence is a bit more dignified.

CommunistLegoBloc · 04/03/2021 11:35

Sure. But in this case, I think they are. 'My ex is crazy!' 'My ex won't let me see the kids' 'My ex drove me to it.' Why make men's gaslighting easier by buying into the rhetoric? Assumedly because you think you're not crazy, so by believing someone else is, you think this kind of thing won't happen to you. Doesn't make you stupid, it's self protective, but it's shit.

Lampzade · 04/03/2021 12:17

I only feel sorry for the children.
Their mother choosing to air all her business on social media.
I don’t know what the ins and outs of the relationship was, but what I do know is that putting this information on social media will have a detrimental effect on the children
