To think James Haskell is a bit of a prat

Watching their documentary and he seems so immature and not ready to have a family, he also so sarcastic and stroppy with Chloe.

Just binge watched their programme.

now think he’s even more of a dick.

I think they were playing up for the cameras! I like them both, but watch it more because I’m a Richard and Judy fan!
I also think that their current ‘issues’ are very well timed when they have a series on tv.

Richard and Judy don’t seem that enamoured of him. I don’t blame them.

He is a tool of the highest order.
Big mistake marrying that man child. It is as though she has two kids to take care of .
Honestly can’t see the marriage lasting

Your prediction came true!

Who are you Janie? Way too invested. Weird.

His mum, perhaps? Or auntie?

Perhaps Chloe finally saw the light when she watched the series.

poor woman. I was exhausted watching his antics. Horrified at the way he treated her and her attempts to match his vitriol. She is better than that. You could see that Richard. And Judy were horrified but staying close to protect their daughter and gc. Glad she’s free of him.

He is a horrible man and Chloe seems lovely . She can do much better and will have an upgrade soon I’m sure . But I don’t think boy child Haskell is going to cope with another man around his child . I see trouble ahead sadly .

FrenchandSaunders · 05/11/2023 09:42

wonder why she chose to marry a man like Haskell. Her father couldn’t be more different.

To be fair if you go for a daddy clone you’ve issues…😂

What's the betting they'll have a reconciliation programme/series coming to an media outlet near you soon🙄

tattychicken · 06/11/2023 00:51

@NeelyOHara1 I did wonder that! He is so deliberately obnoxious in the series, it seemed a bit manufactured. He is known to be a twat but seemed to take it to the extreme. Also he was seen nose blowing/wiping several times, why leave that in when editing unless they're implying he had been doing something he shouldn't?

It's like an extended version of the gag they pulled on Rich and Jude, "we're moving to California/splitting up". And now Chloe seen out clubbing in sexy boots. 🤔

Nah, you could feel the animosity bouncing off them. If they’re just acting then they’re brilliant.

I think he is genuinely very unintelligent.

Justleaveitblankthen · 06/11/2023 07:42

I only got through one and a half of the episodes.
Yes, I tried it again 😂

Brain rot is being kind and that is despite having to drag in a very willing Richard and a seemingly less willing Judy in each p.
His family didn't appear or were mentioned at all and neither were Chloe's three brothers 🤔
But yes, he's an utter Bellend.
He came across so negging and nasty, I assumed it was all for the cameras and ratings.

lollipoprainbow · 06/11/2023 16:32

She's equally as irritating.

JethroTullandhishorse · 06/11/2023 17:20

Haskell and his former England team-mate, Paul Doran-Jones went to Wellington College together, and whilst there set up a hidden camera when Doran-Jones was having sex with a girl. They then sent the video college-wide, I believe.

When a female rugby player (who’s also a doctor), Simi Pam, pointed out an inaccuracy on The Rugby Pod (they stated another male player was the most-capped player in history - the fact was that he was the most capped male player - the most capped player is a woman, Rochelle Clark) via Twitter, his response was “have a day off love”.

Odious, odious, misogynistic, narcissistic bullying piece of crap. The Boris Johnson of rugby.

Janieforever · 06/11/2023 18:21

To be honest I’m not convinced they’ve separated. The whole removal of rings, and being deliberately photographed out not wearing them seems a bit of a ploy. If they wanted to keep it quiet till after the show aired it would have been very easy to do so, just keep the rings on. And James being photographed talking to women, literally no more than talking is being taken a bit far.

sly and his wife fake split to give their show publicity and I’m not convinced that’s not what’s happening here.

wingsandstrings · 06/11/2023 19:52

Went to see him on his speaking tour. Stupidly thought it would be primarily rugby content: funny stories from training camps and some inside gossip on Eddie Jones etc. But no! It was the most gross misogynistic nonsense ever. Almost every story ended with a woman being wet for him, even if they were 'really really old and wrinkly' . . . . eg. "the coaches wives came on your with us and when I lost a bet and had to sing a song to the group I sang 'fuck me nice and slow' and I swear when the old biddies got up after my song their seats were slick with how wet they were for me'. He told a story about accidentally seeing his mother in law naked and how grotesque it was and how she 'needed a good iron' because she was wrinkly. Just ick ick ick.

ArcaneWireless · 06/11/2023 19:55

You aren’t really selling him wings 😁

wingsandstrings · 06/11/2023 19:57

He laughs about this in his speaking tour. He spent quite some time talking about trying to start a porn empire at school. He definitely hasn't emotionally matured since being 17 . . . he spoke about it in a way that assumed we'd give him kudos for the porn at school thing.

ArcaneWireless · 06/11/2023 20:01

I don’t know him from an egg but from how he has come across on this programme? I have known many who act in the same way.

I didn’t care for them either.

The idiot disrespected our Judy? Fuck him!
