Someone tell the girl getting cold water thrown on you by your partner in a relationship isn’t normal.

I saw that and thought WTF.

Dan is a vile little creep who threatened to stab his ex, calls his child a ‘mistake’ and now this! Behind his stupid grinning ‘oh I’m just a rough diamond, me’ persona, there’s a nasty misogynistic bully.

I fully condemn anyone who is friends with or chooses to work with him.

MargaretFaffter · 16/10/2021 19:16

Wow, that sounds like a fun relationship……

ballsdeep · 16/10/2021 19:16

I find him awful anyway. He is really creepy and had cheated on her before. Disgusting man

Glassofshloer · 16/10/2021 19:17

Oh I forgot about the cheating 🙄 it paled into significance compared to the death threats he screamed at his ex.

MsTSwift · 16/10/2021 19:19

They both sound utterly pathetic. Can they not use their words? Hope they don’t have kids what a horrible environment for them if so.

They have 2 daughters. I think you’re being deeply unfair labelling Jacqueline as pathetic, it’s quite clear he has worn her down over the years into tolerating the most awful behaviour & seeing it as normal. He’s a bully.

One of the worrying things here is that she is publicly minimising it, and the comment about how she loves the drama. This will not do her any favours if /when she has to file domestic abuse charges.

I thought I had read this somewhere years ago

How awful

State of him
She is so lovely

Yes sadly so very true
Glassofshloer · 16/10/2021 19:28

I think the ‘oh I love the drama’ is JJ trying to reshape it in her head as a relationship of extreme passion rather than abuse.

Clymene · 16/10/2021 19:32

Christ. Their children should be taken into care.

Mynextname · 16/10/2021 19:33

I feel awful for her but she will only leave when she is ready. Perhaps when her kids are older one can hope. Until then I hope she has lots of kind people around her building her strength up.

Oh yeah that sounds like a marvellous ideaHmm
Smileyaxolotl1 · 16/10/2021 19:37

I’ve met him and he is incredibly good looking in real life which I assume is why he feels he can behave as he does.
He has zero personality though.

AlphabetStew · 16/10/2021 19:40

I'd hoped being crowned Queen of the Jungle (winning I'm A Celeb) would give her a shot of confidence, enough to leave ideally. But no. Not yet. I do hope she makes it out and sooner rather than later.

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/10/2021 19:45

She’s punching above her weight though, I imagine she couldn’t believe her luck when he started seeing her and then it’s death by a 1000 cuts.

Eslteacher06 · 16/10/2021 19:45

I've had a pint thrown over me by an ex in a pub and he stormed off leaving me on my own to mop up the mess ...he tried to gaslight me and pretend it didn't happen or at least wasn't that bad. It took me years to get away.

It's assault. Plain and simple. She will realise eventually. But it's irresponsible to publish this article because it's almost normalising that behaviour.

I don’t think so. She’s lovely, he just looks like a grinning idiot who hits the gym now and then.
Pottedpalm · 16/10/2021 19:51

I’m pleased to say I had no idea who these dreadful people are prior to reading tjis article.

Glassofshloer · 16/10/2021 19:53

It’s making me really sad to hear people slagging off Jacqueline Sad she needs to leave him but listen to the evil voice messages he left threatening to kill his ex if she found another man, now imagine what he says to JJ behind closed doors Sad

MsTSwift · 16/10/2021 19:55

“She’s punching above her weight” ?!

Do you have comprehension issues? Seems like a violent thug. That said I have no clue who either of these people are.

She's really not.

He's was a reality TV wannabe, she was an actor in a mainstream TV programme. If he wasn't married to her, we would all have forgotten who he was by now.

Hope she gets some help and starts to see through him before the kids get to see this as normal.
