ok fourteen years ago she deserved the pasting she got (or rather, she deserved HALF of the pasting). Grant Bogey came out of it all as some hapless knob but the vitriol was directed at Anthea. I'm no fan of hers but I think if she'd MURDERED somebody she'd only have been hung drawn and quartered once. I'm not a second wife before anybody asks me if I am! I just hate to see that we're still in this place where the woman gets ALL the blame, twice. One man, a double dickhead.

They all get all the blame as far as I'm concerned. The whole lot of them are shagging other people left right and centre.

YANBU some of the comments have been very unpleasant and unnecessary.

i agree, double standards as usual.

I didn't know she had a criminal record.

Apart from MN, I'd seen nothing about this. I really didn't realise there was significant commentary about it.

But I don't think it's unique for those who break up marriages to face life-long condemnation for it. Esther Rantzen, for example.

Eh? Both her and her husband are getting a pasting on that thread, people are quite rightly saying its karma for both of them as they were both cheats in the past.

She has comitted many crimes against fashion

slartybartfast · 31/07/2012 11:52

she knows how to make a bed

Although it would be nice to see Bovey getting his comeuppance too, he seems like an odious creep.

How can people still hold it against her (or him) when they have been together for 14 years. It wasn't just some casual affair. Sometimes people fall in love with other people, sometime marriages work and sometimes they don't. Not really anyone else's business apart from those involved. People are human beings not saints - if they murdered someone or committed some heinous crime then fine but fgs it was an affair 14 years ago. Worse things go on in the world.

He's having another one now allegedly Kelly.

Hold up OP. You make the exact same point on Bup's thread why start a thread about a thread?

And have you read Bupcake's thread? I would estimate about 25% of the posts are actually about Anthea - it's actually a bitch fest about a lot of slebs. And the ones about Anthea are slagging, mostly, her telly career and perkiness.
Very little mention of the marriage. Quite a lot of mentions of Grant being a cock.

I agree actually. Whilst I think the ex Mrs Bovey must be feeling a certain degree of smugness right now (and rightly so) I still feel sorry for the 'new' one. She has been betrayed. Whatever she did in the past (and it was a long time ago) is not the issue here - the issue is that this particular leopard didnt change his spots, and he is the tw*t. Those poor children. I have no idea what their relationship with their step mum is like - it would appear that they have a good one but then the DM isnt always a fount of truth - and the idiot has gone and turned their lives upside down AGAIN.
