Absolutely you see it said on here all the time, that when the husband has lined up his newer, younger model and wants a new life, the history of the marriage it totally rewritten to portray the wife as horrible, not happy for years, etc so he doesn't look like a bastard and IG did have a reputation to keep. Didn't he do an interview shortly before they split singing AE's praises?
I thought his issue with not taking his daughter to a theme park was horrible as well. If his new girlfriend had a medical condition and he was so worried about her immune system, he could have taken his DC on a fun day out of their choosing (hadn't he not seen them for months at that time?) and stayed away from his girlfriend for a few days afterwards until he got a Covid test? Surely his gf could have coped not seeing him for a few days so he could spend time with his DC? Anyway his DC could have picked up Covid from school or actives etc so that didn't make sense at all.
IIRC IG has been away for a few years working in Australia and according to AE refused to come home when Covid struck. She said something about finding him a flight. Odd he wouldn't want to get home to his DC when a world wide wide pandemic hit with all the fear of the unknown that created. Obviously something was keeping him in Oz if that was true. He said he wanted to end the marriage after that I think.
I haven't read the court papers but was there anything water tight in his description of her being abusive before he ended the marriage or was it her behaviour afterwards and very few people behave well when they feel they've been betrayed. Obviously anyone is free to end a marriage if they're unhappy but expect some comeback if you're going to blow your kids world up, they're going to have to come out of a school they've been happy in and to lose their home.
If the prenup is as stated, the house would have had to be sold anyway, even without the public drama that has allegedly ruined IGs reputation so he's not getting roles, from the sounds of it.
That could have been largely avoided anyway if his girlfriend hadn't felt the need to post that inflammatory picture while IG was going through a messy breakup, crowing that she was the one making him smile again! Didn't his DC make him smile? Very odd caption and obviously desperate to finally make their relationship public. Was it necessary to make it public though? AE said she'd had her suspicions and I'm sure IG knew that so just why?
At that point I only remembered IG from Liar and AE from Vampire Diaries but I can imagine her distress at knowing she was fucked financially from the pre-nup and not working as both parents couldn't be flying all over the world to be on set for months so she'd given up her own career while he buggered off into the sunset.
I don't believe women should shut up and put up for the sake of the DC (not a good example for them at all) as seems to be the general consensus if they think their husband has royally shafted them so I kind of admired her for speaking out but also I don't think she's doing herself any favours now and she's in danger of losing custody of her girls completely.
It's a great shame as she could have done a chat show or something for women in her situation of the back of the media interest if she'd been a bit canny but I can imagine self esteem would have made that difficult.
