If your husband cheats on you it's because you've let yourself go

..and not because he's a shitty person.

According to this twit

www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/14067488/scummy-mummy-make-effort-husbands-speak-me/amp/

Carla believes many turn into “scummy mummies” who “let themselves go” after having kids.

She argued this is why some of their husbands have wandering eyes and decide to cheat by scrolling through her sexy snaps online.

The glamorous model doesn’t feel guilty about this as she blames the women themselves. She told Fabulous: “Women have let themselves go.

“I hate to say it because I’m a girl’s girl but women just give up on their looks as soon as they have children or get married"

This has made me so angry.

What are your thoughts?

Scummy mummy Grin oh my word lol
Never heard of her and never want to. She sounds like an idiot Confused

The worst bit is that it’s women having a pop at other women.

It’s usually the men who age badly and let themselves go in my experience. I mean they lose their hair, thats more image changing than the things that happen to women. So many podgy, bald middle aged men who think they can pull any 20 year old, it’s gross.

I'm suddenly reminded of the long ago days of Samantha Brick declaring herself the most beautiful woman in the world.

These days there are so many Z listers desperate to become a known name that it's hard for them to gain much attention. I can't imagine there's much money to be made being this type of...glamour model?

Thewinterofdiscontent · 19/02/2021 12:08

I agree.

That’s why I started off asa non make up wearing, low maintenance, overweight scummy mummy when DH married me. If I make an effort he sees it as a bonus.Much easier than setting the level too high.

What a class act she is...Even the Sun seems to acknowledge in the piece that she's thoroughly low rent.

poppyzbrite4 · 19/02/2021 12:12

Isn't this all woman hating, no matter which side you are? A woman using a misogynist trope to get attention, in a sleazy, exploitative paper and women bad mouthing her and calling her names.

gigity · 19/02/2021 12:12

Well the reason the married men are messaging her is cause she's prepared to get her tits out for a tenner, which is her prerogative of course.

Perhaps some of the wives have "let themselves go" maybe the husbands have too.

gigity · 19/02/2021 12:13

Plus beautiful women get cheated on so....

1FootInTheRave · 19/02/2021 12:21

She is the epitome of a scummy mummy.

notalwaysalondoner · 19/02/2021 12:24

I think the reason it often happens after children is nothing to do with the woman - a lot of men basically find child-rearing a bit dull and full of chores, (sub)consciously think of it as women's work, and find someone single and flirty much more interesting than the day-to-day of family life. Pretty sure it would happen with the same frequency no matter how 'put together' their partner looked...

Yep but it's easier to blame the wives rather than examine the men's behaviour.

YANBU. She’s clearly a misogynistic dick.

Why would you want to stay with a man who only values you if you’re botoxed, made up and dressed like a doll?

This airhead is a nobody. Stop giving her attention.

YABU for given the rag oxygen.

Wetalkedaboutthis · 19/02/2021 12:49

Calling anyone a "whore" is pretty repellent.

MissMarpleDarling · 19/02/2021 12:56

Stupid woman. My cousins dick of a husband cheated 3 times, each time when she was heavily pregnant/after the birth as he has 'needs' too. Idiots.

Fembot123 · 19/02/2021 12:58

@ChancesWhatChances

Just read the article, which included pictures of her children. Wonder how they feel about their mum being a whore and selling her body for money Hmm
🤦🏼‍♀️
Bythemillpond · 19/02/2021 13:04

Personally I think the men messaging her are really seedy.
Maybe the wives couldn’t give a shit and want to divorce the pervs

Verite1 · 19/02/2021 13:04

Just read the links. She clearly is just saying controversial things for publicity. Don’t give her the oxygen of publicity- its playing into her hands.

Bythemillpond · 19/02/2021 13:05

I presume she is including herself in this description as she too is divorced

thecatsthecats · 19/02/2021 13:18

Although she is just being goady for clicks, I have met women who think like this.

They're hardly a source of envy. Most of them embrace a very artificial type of beauty that I have no wish to emulate. Most of them endlessly need validation for their looks. Most of them attract ugly toerag men who only value them for looks then cheat anyway. Most of them don't have much intelligence or sense of humour.

I sit here with no make up on, 20lbs or so I could lose and my legs like the amazon rainforest and think, yup, I would not trade a single thing about myself to be a tiny bit like them.

How can you get outraged about someone is entirely unenviable?

peak2021 · 19/02/2021 13:21

Did she tell this to Boris Johnson for him to justify his behaviour?
