Apparently he has cheated on his wife and fathered a baby girl. Not the nicest man in rock after all.Wink

He cheated on his first wife.
He cheated on Louise Post
Not surprised he cheated on his second wife.

It's just hope over experience.

He comes across as a decent bloke and then sadly defaults to type.

PrincessScarlett · 10/09/2024 21:35

No surprise at all that he's cheated.

I'm not sure why this is a shock, since his affair with Wynona Ryder is why his first marriage ended.

No, it was Louise Post who said he had an affair with Winona Ryder and she was never married to him. In fact, she was the relationship immediately after his first wife (Jennifer Youngblood) with speculation of some overlapping.

I would guess that this story was due to hit the headlines (from the other point of view) in the next few days so he got ahead to try to control the narrative and timing. Equally sure that he wouldn’t be admitting to his infidelity voluntarily to the public or his family if there wasn’t a baby or other evidence to prove it.

I hope his wife does divorce him. It’s not even the infidelity but also unprotected sex and the risk to her.

When you sleep with another woman/ man without protection you put the health of your partner at risk. Unforgivable in my opinion

’He has cheated before so why is anyone surprised?. I wouldn’t vouch for any man

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 10/09/2024 21:36

Wonder how many times he cheated in the past.

Scum

Maybe a combination of the death of his mother and a mid life crisis?

Oh not one but two feeble bullshit excuses.

I read the headline and thought it was gonna be about aexual assault. So this is better...I guess.

I thought he must have died!

RainbowZebraWarrior · 10/09/2024 21:37

This is always the result of male entitlement plus opportunity.

Yeah, you're right. Started hanging around with WR right at the end of his first marriage, and was on/off with Post because WR was always in the background.

Anyway, he's notorious for typical rock star shenanigans, and was known for groupie stuff even back in the 90's. Courtney was right about him being toxic, but she's a headcase as well so I think that's just two people with enormous egos not being able to deal with not being the centre of attention in the room.

I'm still not sure why being a talented entertainer makes people assume he must be a nice person.

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 10/09/2024 21:19

I always liked him, but went off him a few months ago when he slagged off Taylor Swift. Big old rock star MAN cannot stand it that a talented WOMAN is more successful than him.

Plus, he is not a conventionally good looking man. No woman would have been interested in banging him if he hadn't been a rock star.

Agreed - when he did this I thought "wow, he's really lost the plot", but I guess in hindsight he knew about the pregnancy and the shit storm that was approaching and was acting out and being spiteful.

His poor family.

powershowerforanhour · 10/09/2024 21:41

"Id look up the aids denial foo fighters were involved in, hers always been a twat."

I didn't know about that or the previous cheating, but when I saw the needless dig he made about Taylor Swift I thought, what an unpleasant arsehole.

Luddite26 · 10/09/2024 21:41

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 10/09/2024 21:32

Well if anyone can spot a complete arsehole, it's another complete arsehole.

I think that we can agree that the likelihood is he has spent his life being systematically unfaithful.

I don't think anyone cares about Dave much at the minute.... except Dave of course.

TheBers2024 · 10/09/2024 21:47

Yeah but his music sort of implied he got it...what it is to love, trust, be hurt etc. So you assume he has some concept of what having an affair might do to his family.

Mitsky · 10/09/2024 21:47

I am a huge Dave fan and Foos fan.

But his PR team are top level, if you scrape below the surface slightly you can find cheating rumours on message boards going back years. PR have managed his reputation fantastically.

Over40Overdating · 10/09/2024 21:49

FFS Dave.

I hope Jordyn takes him to the cleaners.

Courtney, for her many quirks, does not miss the mark when calling the rockstar men out it seems.

BeautyPageantDropout · 10/09/2024 21:50

always found his nice guy persona pretty nauseating.

SpicyMoth · 10/09/2024 21:52

JaneJeffer · 10/09/2024 21:55

He was always a pain in the arse, don't understand what anyone sees in him!

Blinky21 · 10/09/2024 21:55

What's to say he hasn't been doing it for years and the pregnancy means he,'s been caught. PR team probably thought they'd put the statement out close to tonight's debate to bury it a bit.
