About Jamie Vardy's new wife?

I'm quite prepared to be flamed over this, but I can't be the only one to think that there is something really off about her? She is really milking his new found fame for all it's worth, desperately trying to turn herself into the new Victoria Beckham/Coleen Rooney. First it was the newspaper interviews, then the lingerie shoot, followed by the big OK wedding spread.

Now very conveniently she was caught up in all the trouble between England and Russia fans over the weekend and ended up getting tear gassed. Managing to get her face on the front pages of course, and this morning I woke up to see her being interviewed via satellite on Good Morning Britain about her terrible experience, looking all serious. I thought it was just me, but you could tell from the way he was questioning her that Piers Morgan also thought she was talking complete bollocks.

Now I know she's not the first woman to use her footballing husbands fame to boost her own career prospects but he's apparently estranged from his entire family, parents and grandparents because they dislike her and they didn't attend the wedding. Then you hear that she has form for selling kiss and tell stories going back years, I can't help but think that she's been waiting her whole life for this gravy train to arrive.

Am I just being a massive bitch here?

She claimed she got caught up in the fan violence and was tear gassed. I find it a bit hard to believe in all honesty.

Why? Confused

She was drinking in a bar when it kicked off and she, along with many others, got tear gassed.

As for ending up on the front page, can you imagine how many cameras are following her about?

It's down to the editor to put her on the front page - not her.

ElspethFlashman · 13/06/2016 18:20

She's quite vocal and forthright and easily riled on Twitter so I think that contributed to her being interviewed as well.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 13/06/2016 18:20

I'm with you OP. She seems desperate for fame and money, constantly trading up men. I'm no fan of the orange one who loves his kids but her kiss and tell on their one nighter was pretty low.

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 18:22

There is nothing at all wrong with having 3 kids by three different men.

When all three of those kids are from relationships with high profile rich guys and fairly brief relationships, trading up each time and you make remarks in the media about someone's genitalia it suggests you are a bit of a gold digger TBH.

She claimed she got caught up in the fan violence and was tear gassed. I find it a bit hard to believe in all honesty.

I was tear gassed at a match in Marseilles so I can believe it sadly. My first thought when I read the story this morning was that her 'fame' might help raise awareness that the police there are a bit trigger happy on the tear gas canisters.

Grilledaubergines · 13/06/2016 18:25

There was nothing convenient about her being caught upon it all I wouldn't have thought. I'd find it scary rather than convenient, personally.

ElspethFlashman · 13/06/2016 18:25

I'm not sure the first one was with a rich bloke. I think she was very young and he was one of her first boyfriends and they just got caught out. Not at all sure though from my brief nosey skim reading of an article on her last week.

ErNope · 13/06/2016 18:26

and you care... why?

Grilledaubergines · 13/06/2016 18:27

Yes cute it would have been far better for those fathers to be plotless so that yet another mother has to fight for a penny or do it completely alone. If my DCs father was going to be a feckless ass, I'd rather he was a feckless ass with a good bank balance.

Grilledaubergines · 13/06/2016 18:28

Potless. They may also have been plotless.

MintyChapstick · 13/06/2016 18:28

I can't stand Peter Andre either, but shagging him then selling a story in which she mocks the size of his manhood and tells the world that he's crap in bed is pretty low IMO.

Who honestly gives a fuck? Why have you given this so much thought? I wish I had that much time on my hands. Hmm

ErNope · 13/06/2016 18:29

Oh and the average number of sexual partners over a lifetime works out at about 10 (think its 8 or 9 for women and 12 for men) so before judging who has kids with how many you might want to think about that statistic.
Plenty of people fuck 3 people or more in their lifetimes, seeing the averages above Is it really shocking or bad that conception occurs in under half of those encounters?

tudasaurus · 13/06/2016 18:30

I judge his family more, for putting their disapproval of her above a relationship with their son and grandchild.

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 18:30

Well Grilled that wasn't my point and nor a reason to have children with someone - because they are rich? Lovely.

She's been utterly vilified in the press and here you are doing it on a supportive parenting site. She's got three kids by different men. He has two by different women so only one less, why isn't he being attacked and having his past raked over for all to see?

What a twatty OP.

Citizensmith1 · 13/06/2016 18:33

I have never heard of either of them, despite watching the news every day. Why are you so interested that you know that much about them? Especially if you don't like them/her?

YABU for being so invested in a complete strangers life.

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 18:34

If he had made horrible remarks about one of his conquests' body I would expect him to be vilified in the press Hmm

PerspicaciaTick · 13/06/2016 18:35

I find her rather refreshing and hope that she goes on to huge success and has a very happy marriage.

MintyChapstick · 13/06/2016 18:37

Yes, can you imagine the outcry on here if a man had shamed a woman's body in the same way she'd shamed Peter's?

She's been vilified in the press for good reason IMO. I coulndt give a fig about how many kids she's got, but it's her sheer desperation to get her face into the papers that irks me.

OP, I know nothing about the new Mrs Vardy, but "conveniently she was caught up in all the trouble between England and Russia fans over the weekend and ended up getting tear gassed" sounds bitchy even by Mumsnet standards.
