Is there a Rebecca Humphries thread? Her public statement about the end of her relationship is awesome.

I will try and link. I love that she took the cat!

LethalDrizzle I only saw her statement once this morning so I might be mistaken, but didn’t she explain that? Something about how she was at home waiting for him to come back and he messaged to say he was off for ‘one drink’ with Katya. And that she was annoyed by this as she felt something was going on.

Maybe she had her suspicions but needed the actual confirmation in front of her eyes to finally end it.

I'm curious to know why she was on her own waiting for boyf to get back from work on her birthday

Maybe they'd made an arrangement along the lines of 'let's get a takeaway and open a bottle of champagne when you get back from rehearsals'?

I don't get why it's odd. It's what I'd do if my partner was working late and my birthday fell midweek

I think rebecca is an amazing role model for young women and men! I think the problem here is not the fact that it was a drunken snog....people make mistakes and unfortunately we live in a world where affairs are morally accepted. I think the problem is that he called her a psycho for suspecting something. And on her birthday why would you be out with another woman. I had 4 years of my husband telling me I was cracking up due to my suspicions and I was right all along. This is mental bullying! Rebecca you are well shot of him he is punching well above his weight and I would love to see you and neil take their place. You would win the show!

I read she's an actress, anyone know what she's been in?

She has been publicly humiliated.

Nope. He's humiliated himself.

Can’t wait for Saturday I must admit!

I thought her statement was brilliant. She totally showed him up to be an abusive arse.

Seann and Katya have just been on ITT. Apologised again, and Seann says that he has been portrayed wrongly. Katya says her husband is ok, and it was a mistake.

Sounds like a publicity stunt. We fell for it.

A snog might be a publicity stunt, if one couple were about to break up anyway and the other were relaxed about it for reasons of their own.

But an accusation of emotional abuse surely wouldn’t be done as a stunt. It could seriously hamper Walsh’s career.

Havania, my thoughts exactly. For one thing where they were they would have known they would be papped. The dancers husband doesn’t seem remotely bothered about it.

So I think either it was a publicity stunt and the pair of them did it deliberately to piss her off. Apparently she’s been accusing him of things for weeks while he’s been at work and they were both pissed off at it.

I saw the headline about the cat and I thought ‘Ha, ha, that’s quite funny’. To be honest though, the more I hear about her reaction the more I think she is unhinged, hysterical and undignified. I mean, tweeting at Women’s Aid and making lots of references to them and making ‘I AM NOT A VICTIM’ statuses.

It’s like, yeah, love, I appreciate it’s not a nice experience, but you’re behaving like someone who’s been a battered wife for years finding out her husband’s been having a long term serious relationship with his secretary and a secret family with her’.

It’s just so over the top she’s clearly milking it hoping for a media career.

Why is emotional abuse less valid to you?

Ginger I mean this as nicely as possible, but what the fuck is wrong with you?

I’m so sick to death of women being shut down for being open about abuse. Violence is not the only form that DV takes, so how dare you belittle her experiences because you don’t think it’s as bad? You have absolutely no idea what has gone on, other than reading shite in newspapers, so I’d wind your neck in.

Emotional abuse is draining.

Just because it’s not physical abuse does not lessen the abuse. It ruins your self esteem. Grounds you down.

You start thinking that you are mad, unhinged. But you are not. Your abuser is the one who is mad & unhinged.

Speaking as an ex family solicitor.

I would say the emotional abuse my dd suffered has been more damaging to her long term than the physical.

So why did she stay with him?
I mean it’s not like they were married with kids and she depended on him financially, so why was she with him?

surger because it’s not as easy as leave. If you spend enough time with someone telling you you’re mental/nuts/psycho you start to believe it. Emotional abuse is evil, because it rots away your self-confidence and you truly think that you aren’t good enough for anyone. You don’t need to be financially dependent or have kids for it to happen.

But she didn’t take long getting rid of him after ‘the kiss’ & came across as very strong.
It’s all very confusing.

Perhaps having the support of a few thousand people, and people telling her she is good enough/he is a total twat was enough to do it? If I had that kind of backing I would have left my ex a hell of a lot quicker.

Can't believe what I'm reading.

Man gaslights woman to condition her to believe she's unhinged to get away with treating her like shit. Man is caught out doing exactly what he was suspected of. Woman is not 'unhinged'. Instead she takes the opportunity to leave him and then, how controversial, says something. In public. Oh the shame!
Woman is then called unhinged, hysterical and undignified.
People can be fucking shit.

@surferjet if you are in an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissistic sociopath it is not always easy to just get up and go because they can make you feel like you are losing your mind and that without them you are nothing and nobody will ever want to love you.

But there comes a moment and I guess her being publicly humiliated that gives you the strength to walk away and be able to stay away.

What I find laughable is him now saying he is not the man he is being portrayed, when there are people who have come forward and spoken of witnessing him verbally abusing her. But no doubt he will be able to make a joke out of it and get a good run out of this.

And then we have Janet Street Porter on Loose Women feeling the need to take it upon herself to berate and belittle her with regards to her post. She has no empathy for what this poor women is going through or has gone through and that putting words to paper has more than likely helped her a great deal but then again what do you expect from Loose Women who are known for their bulliesh behaviour.

JSP wouldn't have any empathy given her multiple affairs only serve to give her hilarious anecdotes to tell the other women on a regular basis. I quite like her and it's up to her to make light of her own experience of infidelity but what a shame to bring another woman down over it.

To be honest though, the more I hear about her reaction the more I think she is unhinged, hysterical and undignified

And this is why more woman don’t speak out. Misogynistic twaddle like this.

Come on. Let’s make a rule book.

Ok women, it doesn’t matter what a guy does to you, keep quiet. I mean, dignity, right?

Don’t for a minute dare to suggest you’ve been abused, you’ll appear deranged.

Take control of a situation not of your making? Hysteria. Burn the witch.
