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!

I had no idea who the two of them were but now I have deep admiration for how classily she handled it.

To the PP saying we don’t know the whole story - true but kissing someone else on your partners birthday pretty much tells me a lot about him.

SaucyJack · 08/10/2018 22:15

More power to her for not sitting and waiting for him to shag the other woman, and then dump her (Rebecca).

Sarcelle · 08/10/2018 22:16

He didn’t have the grace to apologise to her. This is her response to the cynical tweets. Hopefully nobody votes for him and they both get the elbow. Or he bows out now. Don’t want to see his sexy squirming (or his rumba face). Makes me feel bilious.

myrtleWilson · 08/10/2018 22:17

I love the (n) bit most of all Grin

a drunken kiss??..ive kissed a fleet of toads...drunk on an olympic level-and apologised for neither.a twats a twat drunk or sober.she'll be ok-other two-whats their names again?

CoolCarrie · 08/10/2018 22:19

Well done to her, he is clearly an arse. The only thing I’ve seen him in is Bad Move with Jack Dee, appropriate title considering his behaviour now.

troodiedoo · 08/10/2018 22:19

I don't think it will have any effect on his votes. Many people don't use Twitter or read daily fail etc. Or they will think not my business. If he dances well then he will get votes.

WinterSunglasses · 08/10/2018 22:29

Ah, dignity. Seems to = silence. Maybe there's dignity in having your say and getting people to listen, rather than keeping quiet while your ex's PR people 'shape the narrative' in his favour. Good for her.

bluetrampolines · 08/10/2018 22:30

I hadn't heard of him either

The (n) bit was amazing. Dignity does not = passivity, but I think some people think they are one and the same. I think she retained and actually got back dignity that those two tried to strip from her with that post.

Blatherskite · 08/10/2018 22:32

I love that she spelt his name Sean(n) Grin

ilovesooty · 08/10/2018 22:34

It won't affect whether I vote for them or not. I agree with samcro

Loopytiles · 08/10/2018 22:35

So according to her statement he was controlling and gaslighted her when she raised issues with his behaviour. Nasty.

SquidwardTentacles · 08/10/2018 22:39

More power to her. I admit i thought he was a kinda loveable goofball and i liked him for it at the start of SCD. But to not even apologise to her? What a Richard.... (this is what my daughter insists i call the DDog when he is being a dick as it is "less rude, mum".)

BehemothPullsThePeasantsPlough · 08/10/2018 22:47

I love Katya’s dancing and have enjoyed her partnership with Seann so I was happy to believe the “drunken one-off snog, nothing to see here” story (I’ve got a much higher tolerance for ill-advised drunken snogs than most mumsnetters).

But this tweet from Rebecca makes him sound like a horrible piece of work, and it has the ring of truth to my ear, so puts a much more serious spin on it.

I notice it went out in time to catch the tabloid front pages for the third day running - but that’s not a criticism of Rebecca: just because you’re the wronged party doesn’t mean you can’t play a canny PR game.

(Still love Katya though, and until her DH complains I will continue to do so).

flopsyrabbit1 · 08/10/2018 22:50

she will probably be back with him next month

isnt he the guy who is the musician in that comedy with Jack Dee?

AynRandTheObjectivist · 08/10/2018 22:53

*She would have had more dignity if she had said nothing."

Yes, there's always a reason why women should shut up.

ladyratterley · 08/10/2018 22:54

I thought the same OP!
The way she describes him in her statement really does have a ring of truth to it. The gaslighting, calling her “mental” is exactly what a cheating ex of mine used to do to me. Ugh, she’s well rid!
Glad she took the cat too.

spinabifidamom · 08/10/2018 22:55

I hope this helps with her career. She is a brave lady for doing that. I hope that they realise the significance of what she said. It was a powerful statement on respect. Is there any way to see what she said? Was it a magazine article or something else?

123time · 08/10/2018 22:57

Sorry to not get it, but can someone explain the (n) bit to me? Blush

MintyJones · 08/10/2018 22:57

Absolute bravo to this woman.

Yeah, let's just tell her she should shut up shall we? He's publicly humiliated her but she's the one with a lack of dignity? There's always on on a thread eh?

I like how she's managed to let everyone know that he's verbally abusive. Good. People should know. He sounds absolutely horrible. I don't actually care too much about the kissing stuff - it happens and I'm not into him being absolutely crucified for that per se.

I do care that he's clearly what she implies he is.

And do you know who he reminds me of? That other curly haired weasel who was actually convicted of verbally abusing his girlfriend ... Yep JUSTIN LEE COLLINS

StoneofDestiny · 08/10/2018 22:57

Never heard of this bloke before the kiss incident hit the headlines (I don't watch Strictly). He sounds like a disrespectful arse and any woman with self respect would dump him like a stone.

MintyJones · 08/10/2018 22:58

@123time his name is Sean. He's clearly added an extra n to make himself stand out. So his silly name is Seann. And she's let everyone know he's actually just plain old Sean
