There's a quote from him in this DM article where he says:

'They [the kids] have got really terrible northern, Manchester accents. They're really common because of where they live and who they live with.?

AIBU to think that it's just not on to criticise your children- or anyone's children, really- like that? Personal feelings about accents/ "common-ness" (blergh) aside. Imagine how they will feel when they read that some day.

Sounds like he's buggered off to somewhere more glamorous and now regards his old life, and his old family, as beneath him. Not on.

He's been quite unpleasant about his kids before. I get that he hates his ex, but if she's that bad why doesnt he spend more time with the girls.
Ah yes, because he lives on the other side of the world to them.
Twat.

He is an appallingly bad parent.

Sugarice · 04/03/2013 13:40

He's a massive twat, this being the bloke who shagged a lapdancer on his stag do before he married KK, he's got some nerve!

Twat!

SkylarWhite · 04/03/2013 13:41

He comes across as vile, immature and a terrible father.

scarletforya · 04/03/2013 13:44

He's a wanker. He's from around here where I live so the cheek of him calling someone else common!

Gobshite. He never bothers his arse to see the kids from what I can make out.

Snowflakepie · 04/03/2013 13:46

He is appalling, simple. This is all about publicity for his new tour (as a support act, no less) because he is a talentless arrogant twat who shagged around and abandoned his first wife, kids and band because he thought he was better than them. For all that I am not a fan of Kerry, she has never abandoned or slagged off her kids like that. Crawl back under a rock, Bryan. Oh yes, he changed the spelling of his name because he thought it was common with a y. Tells you all you need to know. Vile.

itsallyourownfault · 04/03/2013 13:47

He pays little or no child support so he loses his right to comment. He's not exactly class personified himself anyway. Attention seeking at its worst. I can't help but find him sexy though...so wrong!

threerings · 04/03/2013 13:50

Can,t stand the toad that is Brian Mcfadden. It,s all to easy for him to slag off the women who has had her problems but has always done her best by her kids. Like feeding,putting clothes on their backs and shoes on their feet. Where was he, living it up on the other side of the world whilst leaving Kerry to get on with it.
He is a nasty bitter jealous turd that should keep his mouth firmly shut. What next for you Brian..... clinging to a gantry for Fathers for Justice in your Batman suit shouting "She done my kids wrong they speak common" You are a knobend. Kerry and her Girls had a lucky escape from you a Father that is clueless on how to hurt his kids feelings so publicly.

DixieD · 04/03/2013 13:51

Oh god, he gives me the rage. He is a terrible parent. Abondoned his kids and moved to the other side of the world. Even in his custody battles he was not looking to get them himself. Oh no, that might interfere with his wonderful career in Australia, he wanted his mother to bring them up.
If I couldnt for whatever reason get custody of my kids, I would be moving as close to them as possible. Particularly if they were being brought up by a drug addict, alcholic married to a very dubious character, as Kerry Katona was for many years.

scarletforya · 04/03/2013 13:53

How in fuck he pulled Delta Goodram and Vogue Williams I will never fathom. It's not like he has money either, seemingly he gambled the lot. Confused

chicaguapa · 04/03/2013 13:55

YANBU. I like the Warrington Manchester accent. I think Kerry has made sure everyone knows what a bad father he is though. So no-one's in any doubt.

Fairylea · 04/03/2013 13:57

Can't stand him.. he's like my ex, has every opinion under the sun of how to parent and chooses to live in another country to his children. Utter twat.

I feel really sorry for Kerry k actually. She has made some bad choices in her life but had a terrible childhood and suffers very badly with bi polar disorder but has always been there for her girls. I'm pleased she's managed to turn her life around recently. She's doing well.

No you are not being unreasonable. He is a Twat! However, a lot of the facts about the girls are wrong. They live in Surrey.

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 04/03/2013 14:13

YADNBU! He is a vile cunt of the highest order!

KK is a knob, I dont dispute that but if he is that concerned by how their daughters are being raised he should pull his fucking finger out and spend more time with them, build their relationship. But sadly he'd rather use the situation to score points against his ex. Sad fucker.

Also whats with attacking their accent?! Presumably they speak like their mother (not a huge shock- shes actually there for them, he isnt!) who he married and had 2 babies with! If the accent pisses him off so much why he marry someone and make babies with her who speaks that way?!

Their poor girls. Makes me sad how they've been treated. I'm sure their mother loves them loads but their dad?! i wouldnt feel loved i think.

Trazzletoes · 04/03/2013 14:18

123 they have recently moved back north.

LaurieBlueBell · 04/03/2013 14:18

He is vile, the biggest twattyest twat who ever left twatland.

lolaflores · 04/03/2013 14:18

wonder what his own mammy thinks about the sterling gentleman she has raised? I am sure she can walk the streets of the Northside head held high and proud of punch of her darling son. The total tool that he is. I feel sorry for his poor old mum, the shame of him
