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

I think she thinks he's a real catch though - not sure why.

@Fluffycloudland77

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.

Can you explain what you mean by that?

What a scary interview, almost entirely focused on their rows. Good to see the comments on the article calling him out for domestic abuse, it needs to be identified and called whenever possible.

@onthinice

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.

The raising awareness campaigns need to get louder in that case.

It's a worry if the criminal justice system fails to understand the nature of domestic violence - including the psychological impact and effect on the victim.

Perpetrators thrive on pushing the 'both as bad as each other' narrative, whilst destroying the victim's mental health through control, threats, and fear behind closed doors.

I remember reading about his domestic violence history (the threats to stab his ex). I knew who she was because of EastEnders but I'd never heard of him before. I still don't understand why he wasn't charged (unless he was?) since there was recorded evidence. Nor did I understand why some in the media and entertainment industry minimalised what he did (I think he went into a celebrity big brother after his domestic violence was public knowledge).

As for a pp claiming punching above her weight. Seriously? She is the one with the looks and successful career.

That was a bleak read

She's sadly so in love with him that she tolerates all his behaviour. My Mum was the same with my Dad. He'd cheat, she'd find out, they'd scream and argue, she'd throw him out. Then came the hysterical bonding and constant sex. All would be well for a few months and then the cycle began again.

I won't tell you how fucked up it's left me, and I just want to shake her awake from her apathy. Her poor poor kids

Yeah have heard plenty of bad things about the piece of shit she is with. By all accounts a vile abuser and not a very good father.

@Tealightsandd she doesn’t have a successful career anymore. I mean, she’s more successful than me as I’ve never been on TV but the last thing she did was IACGMOOH. I think she had a range of clothes in Asda last year.

If I was a TV exec, I wouldn’t want either of them anywhere near anything I was involved in. I imagine he would bring their issues on to set. I’ve no real idea who he is and I only know she was in EE but I remember reading about him cheating. Their poor kids. She can make a choice, they can’t.

That sounds absolutely dreadful. I’m sorry but I’m struggling to find a lot of sympathy for her. She’s got her own money and career and yet allows this to happen. Women are not simpering creatures, we aren’t all vulnerable. She’s in a position to get rid of her abuser, lots aren’t.

@Takemetothe90s you obviously haven't been with an abuser then. Yes, financially she would be fine but it's not always about that.

She's defending him against all who tell her he's a bad 'un. In time she'll possibly realise the naysayers were right and ditch him. But until she hits her rock bottom tolerating his behaviour, she'll carry on defending him.

WTAF though? She is not punching above her weight. He looks like a creep, like American Psycho. She is beautiful.

It’s the minimising of their “rows” that is really irresponsible. I wish someone would tell her that what she describes isn’t a normal relationship and she shouldn’t be giving interviews about relationships when she is obviously in a shitty one. Wish someone could give a big shake and tell her to leave the nasty specimen of a man.

I couldn’t even imagine having a disagreement with my husband and he throws a glass of water over me. Don’t think we’d even do that to each other as a joke.

If someone threw ice cold water at me after I had showered, they would be out of my house faster than a shot from a gun and never invited back in. You don't throw water/objects at people in anger.

He's of a type I used to date when I was 19 & had no self esteem ( but was actually rather pretty when I look at photos now). They think they're God's gift because they'vre goodlooking, but in reality they're not very bright & emotionally abusive narcissists . Once I'd got some self esteem & matured, I realised i I wanted conversation, a brain & kindness. Hopefully Jacqueline does the same.

She has tolerated his cheating and abuse for years though hasn't she? Over and over and over again.

She clearly has no self esteem. It's absolutely tragic. I suspect she views leaving this piece of shit as "losing" to all the other women he has shagged. She has been doing the "Pick Me Dance" for so long, she probably can't remember what it's like to actually be at peace.

Oh gosh, you poor thing. And you knew about the constant sex?

[quote WhenISnappedAndFarted]@Takemetothe90s you obviously haven't been with an abuser then. Yes, financially she would be fine but it's not always about that.[/quote]
No but I’ve grown up with one, my mum is the big earner and has let my dad treat her like shit for 40+ years. Forgive me for putting kids over a woman who luckily can and should do better.

Not that looks have anything to do with it, but JJ is beautiful. He is not.

It's really sad. He is awful and I hope she finds the strength to leave him soon.

Not heard of him but this is not a healthy relationship and is an irresponsible piece of journalism.
She could do far better

This is so sad to read. I hate this phrase. She’s a gorgeous woman.

You read what the creep threatened to do to his ex if she got with another man?

Dirty so and so

And he swore on his sons life that he would go ahead with it

Vile being

@Getyourarseofffthequattro - it will help actually. This is a woman in an abusive relationship. Note the women here excusing that because he's 'very good looking' and 'she's punching above her weight'.

The only way we stop women being abused is to make it socially unacceptable. Right now it isn't. The victim thinks it's acceptable, some posters here think it's acceptable and the children will grow up thinking it's acceptable unless the authorities step in.

Taking their children away sends a message that this is abusive behaviour.

How depressing. It's such a shame she met him - I think she would have had a great acting career if he hadn't dragged her down. I felt so bad for her that her time on I'm a Celebrity was spoilt by the cheating revelations and she wasn't able to do much of the publicity afterwards even though she won.

Totally agree

Yeah, that’s what I meant with my post. I think with interviews and pictures like the one in the article, she won’t be taken seriously for acting jobs. I don’t watch EE so can’t comment on her acting ability but I wouldn’t want either of them anywhere near any projects I was doing as the tabloids/mags would be there and it would become all about her/them.

I’d also bet my house, he’d be the type to ask her to get him a part in whatever she was doing. Interesting to know why he wasn’t charged over the threats to his ex (I can’t find anything to say if he was or not).
