This poor woman is clearly in the middle of the most horrendous breakdown - who the fuck thought this interview was a good idea?

for those commenting who haven't seen it.

However much she now hates IG she should still love her children more and (ergo) put their needs first. But she doesn't and so she hasn't. I think she actually loves herself the most, to be honest.

And what about him?
Glassofshloer · 13/11/2021 19:22

What should he be doing that he isn’t @Muddybanks ?

peaceanddove · 13/11/2021 19:22

What about him? I was purely talking about Alice Evans.

Exactly. No one knows what he is or isn’t doing. We only have Alice to believe.
peaceanddove · 13/11/2021 20:18

I'm grateful that we aren't being exposed to his every utterance and twitch. If only AE was similarly reticent.

widestripe · 13/11/2021 20:22

She's addicted and validated by the attention.

amiafreakofnature · 13/11/2021 21:09

I've never seen her Instagram before and have just had a look. Wow is all I can say- she must have been extremely hard work

Cocolapew · 13/11/2021 21:24

Someone made a pertinent comment on her insta, what's the end goal? Does AE think all this is going to make him come home and if he's so awful why does she want him back?
Also AE has said there was no contact between the 2 for them for 10 months and nows she's surprised he's moved on?

It irks me when people say about mothers that "they should love their children more and put their children first" and totally ignore the circumstances that brought about the family split in the first place. What about the blokes who bugger off putting their DC first and loving their DC more? Women have to be ministering angels while men can go off and conquer the world outside of the family unit without the same expectations placed upon them.

I imagine that her end goal is to be heard and to vent. And to not "go quietly". It's not rational because she is out of her mind with distress. She knows the relationship is over but she is still in shock about it. She may have still had a vague hope that they might reconcile before the photo on Instagram of IG and his new partner was published. Not a nice way to have your final hopes dashed so publically like that, and to read everyone's comments congratulating IG on his new relationship.
Cocolapew · 13/11/2021 22:42

He filed for divorce in March, would she really think there was a chance of reconciliation?
It's got to the point where she's thriving on the attention imo.

Don't expect it to abate any time soon, someone has just gleefully informed her that BE has been liking pictures of her children back in 2018, fuelling her "proof" of adultery.

(I do think it's a little odd though tbh).

Any sympathy for this woman is slowly going out the window with her targeting IGs new girlfriend. Calling her a stalker etc. It’s an embarrassment and unhinged. Why is a friend not stepping in?

MyDogLovesBiscuits · 14/11/2021 01:44

According to Alice herself she is apparently estranged from her family and has no friends IRL.

It appears as though her only support is the oddities she's attracting online who are only in it for the momentary drama. That bit is particularly sad and worrying.

greengrassapreciationsociety · 14/11/2021 02:50

I feel for her, awful to face a marriage break up during your early 50s. She needs some support and help. www.tmz.com/videos/020420-kayla-lashae-4725254-0-uc3gmyes/

This was from long before the breakup sadly.

"And what about him?"

How often do we see MN advising posters that it is very damaging to raise kids in an unhappy or dysfunctional relationship, gives them an unhealthy model for their own future relationship etc and to leave.

According to MN he is doing the right thing surely?

Snookie00 · 14/11/2021 07:31

She’s behaving so embarrassingly and the only people she is damaging are herself and her children. If anything she is doing her ex a favour as she’s upping his media exposure with every batshit poisonous post whilst at the same time making most people feel sorry for him having her as an ex.

She is behaving in a totally unhinged, bitter and destructive way and it must be awful for the kids seeing this. Many posters on here feel that’s justified so he doesn’t “get away” with it but it’s utterly selfish to do this to her daughters.

BurnedToast · 14/11/2021 07:47

She's basically having a public tantrum that her husband has met someone else. She just comes across as someone who wants to control the husband, but realised she can't so is now aiming for humiliation. It's backfired as the only one she has humiliated is herself.

Noooo not when it’s this way around…

She doesn’t have any friends she says. Given the names she has called any woman who so much as likes IG’s insta post, is anybody wondering why?
Glassofshloer · 14/11/2021 08:00

I’ve also seen the ‘seducing’ tweet. To everyone saying posters are being anti-women by ‘letting IG off the hook’, surely she’s doing that all by herself by pinning the blame on his ‘seductress’?!
