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

Omg that's so beautifully written! What a lovely girl she deserves better

MrsReacher1 · 08/10/2018 21:51

Thought I'd be in the minority. NOT excusing his behaviour - it was unacceptable. Not a nice thing to do - and I don't blame her for ending it. Neither do I think she's amazing for putting it all on Twitter though - just fuels the flames of the drama - that's all.

Can see others disagree though,

I am clueless to who he is but she on the other hand is one awesome lady. She has her dignity and good for her for calling him on his past emotionally abusive behavior.

I hope she goes on to find great happiness in life.

SemperIdem · 08/10/2018 21:53

Fair do’s to her, that is a strong statement. He sounds a horrible piece of work.

PortiaCastis · 08/10/2018 21:54

Why shouldn't she put it on twitter he's been grubbing around in public and deserves public humiliation.

Sparklingbrook · 08/10/2018 21:54

I think there's now 3 threads. Grin

He does sound horrible and I don't blame her for what she's done. Plus she got the cat. Smile

SheCameFromGreeceSheHadaThirst · 08/10/2018 21:55

If she wants to end her relationship - fair enough - but on Twitter??

She hasn't ended her relationship on Twitter. She ended it in real life, and, having unwittingly found herself at the centre of a media shitstorm and some very public humiliation, she's opted to make one brief statement about it.

I know there are people who are far more comfortable when women who have suffered emotional abuse and humiliation at the hands of vile men just slink away quietly and don't say a word, but why the fuck should they stay quiet? He's a nasty piece of work, and she can announce that if she wants to.

Samcro · 08/10/2018 21:55

I do nt know him or her, so i am not going to believe everything one says over the other.
No one on here e knows them.

BlancheM · 08/10/2018 21:56

What a woman. Classy, dignified. Knows her worth.
It must almost be a relief to have proof in black and white that no, she isn't crazy like he'll have had her believe, but is actually a thoroughly sane and perceptive.

Celebelly · 08/10/2018 21:57

I love this. Fuck men who gaslight women and treat them like shit because they think they can get away with it.

RollerJed · 08/10/2018 21:58

Exactly what @SheCameFromGreeceSheHadaThirst said 👍

MrsReacher1 · 08/10/2018 21:58

OK, I see the other side now. Fair enough. (I never meant women should slink away, I just tend to deal with things differently)

GunpowderGelatine · 08/10/2018 22:01

I don't watch Strictly but heard there's been a snog between two of the taken contestants.

This woman is awesome, what how refreshing to see a scorned woman not stick by her cheating arse of a man but instead walk away with dignity. She is awesome!

Feefeetrixabelle · 08/10/2018 22:01

@mrsreacher1 it would have been her most dignified option for stopping the relentless media requests and intrusion she would have been facing.

Gardai · 08/10/2018 22:01

Fair fucks to her
Circumnavigating the whole publicity, sad face crap and just being honest.
Good example of womanhood !

Petalflowers · 08/10/2018 22:02

The photo in the Daily Mail is a full on snog.

Well done Rebecca and I hope Neil is okAy.

Furx · 08/10/2018 22:06

She clearly has class, dignity and the cat

And I wish her well

user1471426142 · 08/10/2018 22:08

I thought it was a brilliant statement. He sounds like a total knob and she has come out of it with dignity and has said enough for the press to leave her alone.

LanaorAna2 · 08/10/2018 22:09

The cat, Winston, is lovely and clearly a much better life partner.

Havaina · 08/10/2018 22:10

I'd never heard of these people before, but all I can say is Katya seems to have a predeliction for ginger men.

derxa · 08/10/2018 22:10

I like him Blush

HerculesTheBerkules · 08/10/2018 22:11

It sounds like there's been problems for a while and this has brought it all to a head.

Badtasteflump · 08/10/2018 22:12

I agree she would have shown more dignity if she'd said nothing. She already had the public on her side - the mud slinging is a bit grim and is fueling the drama imo. But hey, she's in the public eye too and there's no such thing as bad publicity etc etc...

Sparklesocks · 08/10/2018 22:13

Samcro true, but there is a photo of him snogging another woman - on his girlfriend’s birthday..

LaurieMarlow · 08/10/2018 22:15

This won't do his vote any good at all.
