I was today years old when I realised this woman is not Lauren Goodger.

Say What?

I'm today's year old and still don't know

(Tbf I couldn't pick the real LG out of a lineup)

TheSecretIsland · 30/07/2024 21:21

I wouldn't actually blame AK if she decided to not 'let' her husband see the kids - she doesn't owe those children anything

What??? Let the father see the children?

The kids are not at fault.

Crunchymum · 30/07/2024 21:27

What surname do LG's kids have?

Is she fully estranged from her sister? (Or was she just uninvited from the wedding?)

LuckysDadsHat · 30/07/2024 21:33

I haven't followed this at all, but just saw her list of demands in the media. What a money grabbing cow she is! £12,500 a month in maintenance!!!! Plus cars and nursery and a nanny, and a car for the nanny (who can't drive) and tens of thousands for wardrobes and then she even asked for a bloody iron as her steamer leaks. Fucks sake woman go to argos and buy one for £30 out of your 12,500 a month.

StSwithinsDay · 30/07/2024 21:37

The judge was having none of her shit. Thank god for someone with common sense.

Lemony3 · 30/07/2024 21:46

It looks like Lauryn saw him coming and seems to think he should finance her lifestyle. AstroTurf, and aircon are not essentials. He got her pregnant twice so hardly wise. He may have a relationship with the children. Which could be managed as she employs a nanny. He doesn’t need a relationship with Lauryn going forward. Yes his wife must be hurt but it looks like Lauryn is sadly quite manipulative to get financial gain. In her position I think most single mothers would get on with their lives and be grateful for their home and children.

Yeah, poor Lauren Goodger - I think the mix up happens a lot!

Just because KW is rich, it shouldn't follow that LG is entitled to a chunk of it! His kids will have more than most, financially. She shouldn't get to rinse him indefinitely!

The court should prohibit her from using the kids to get publicity.

I wouldn't actually blame AK if she decided to not 'let' her husband see the kids - she doesn't owe those children anything and it's something that LG should have considered when she shagged a married man and had 2 kids with him. It was always clear that he is a selfish prick who doesn't behave in the best interests of his family, so she knew what she was condemning her kids too - it's her fault that they have a dad who doesn't give a shit!

Being an absentee, shit father is entirely down to Kyle. He has the means to make it happen. He has chosen not to.

TizerorFizz · 30/07/2024 21:55

Yes, for the £2.6 million house he bought. She threatened to sell it and move to Cheshire. Judges don’t like threats. Obviously KW has made some pretty big mistakes but she’s come across as very manipulative and grasping.

Itsmecathy87 · 30/07/2024 19:53

I can't see how the term baby mama is offensive.

It is reductive and offensive, sorry you can't see that. At the end of the day there are real live children involved in this mess - do they deserve to have their mother described in this way? It is bad enough that the case has attracted so much negative attention. Just call her his ex no need to use this term.

ABirdsEyeView · 30/07/2024 22:01

Indeed, he could. Obviously none of this is the children's fault, but LG got pregnant twice, knowing what kind of man KW was. She chose this for her children and it's entirely her fault that they are in this situation now, with a father who isn't going to prioritise them. She knew and she did that to her kids anyway and continues to monetise them.

I know we all think that we would be grown ups in the situation and if we remained with our husbands we would do the right thing and not stand in the way of him seeing the children and bring a proper dad. But I suspect the reality would be quite different, especially if there was a LG agitating in the background and shit stirring on SM all the time!

ABirdsEyeView · 30/07/2024 22:03

If he surprised if LG could sell the house - I thought KW owned it and she was just allowed to live there until the kids turn 18

TheCraicDealer · 30/07/2024 22:04

He’s an absolute wazzock but LG is so clearly using those kids as pawns. Giving them his surname when there’s no relationship, using his initial, trotting her son out to the Euros and posing them in Walker shirts in front of the telly for social media posts, it’s all so grim. I just hope she was making that stuff about her son crying for his dad up, because otherwise she’s already seeing evidence of having caused a whole host of issues for those kids. If she really wanted them to have a relationship with their father she would put her pride, feelings or ambitions aside and come up with some sort of arrangement where KW could have access supervised by a family member or similar and not insist on being there. She obviously doesn’t want to do that. You can’t consistently taunt people and use your kids as weapons and not expect someone to say “enough’s enough”, and enforce some boundaries for the sake of their own sanity. I just hope she has a soupçon of wit, enough to make sure the kids have some sort of nest egg once the maintenance dries up. Doubt it though.

TizerorFizz · 30/07/2024 22:06

The judgement doesn’t really support that view. LG wanted even more money and it was loaded with threats. The judge was very displeased about her actions to extract money. The case wasn’t about child care arrangements!

LessonsinChemistryandLove · 30/07/2024 22:11

I have sadly been following this story, it is literally car crash TV in real life.
KW is a (not very attractive imo) scumbag. He was clearly selling Lauren a dream whilst having no intention of fulfilling but my god, does she not feel shame! She is doing her best to look like a real twit, walking around with a KW necklace and posting daddy pics, when he is clearly not interested in those kids. She’s shown herself to be really horrible and unfortunately for her, decreasing her chances of bagging another footballer. Those children are going to have a tough life with those parents.

Women are not responsible for the behaviour of men.

And he got her pregnant twice, knowing what kind of woman she was. At the end of the day he's fathered 6 kids (that we know of) and doesn't see two of them. That's his choice and his alone.

"Women are not responsible for the behaviour of men."

No, but we are responsible for our own choices - who we decide to have babies with. Now fair enough, you don't always know how a man will turn out until it's too late, but LG knew full well that JW was married and cheating on his wife. So she knew who he was! She didn't care that this fine specimen was who she was saddling her kids with as a father.

Opinionwontchangeluv · 30/07/2024 22:19

She's vile so is he

LizzieBennett73 · 30/07/2024 22:25

I feel horribly sorry for AK in this. She's not asked for any of this shit/publicity, and it must be awful having your husband's mistakes all over the headlines.

Justgorgeous · 30/07/2024 22:29

Benefit fraud I have read. They all seem pretty distasteful.

Lincoln24 · 30/07/2024 22:32

Poor kids, all the adults here are awful.
KW - classic affair spiel, promises LG the world then doesn't even see the kids, what a deadbeat.

LG - can't believe she was dumb enough to fall for it twice, but her behaviour since has been dreadful. Judge basically called her out for the way she told AK about child no 2, and the way she basically extorted money from KW by threatening to move to the same street as him unless he paid her more money. Why would you drag it through the courts like this, my God.

AK - I have some sympathy for her but ultimately she has chosen to stay with this useless man who she could unquestionably afford to live without.

Whole thing beggars belief.

Cobswaffle · 30/07/2024 22:37

I get confused between Lauren Goodger, Lauren Goodman , and Charlotte Crosby 🙈

TizerorFizz · 30/07/2024 22:55

Lots of women stay with men like this for eventual stability and money. It takes two to tango. Both are wrong but LG was hardly left destitute. Sometimes being on your own isn’t attractive.

Crunchymum · 30/07/2024 21:27

What surname do LG's kids have?

Is she fully estranged from her sister? (Or was she just uninvited from the wedding?)

Edited

The kids are both called Walker and have K first names. She could have called them Goodman and literally any name with an initial from the other 25 letters of the alphabet. The KW necklace ‘for me kids’ is laughable. She comes across as unhinged.

I am very over invested though and would love to know if he’s on their birth certificate/s. He’d have had to have gone with her to register them though.

That doesn't make Annie 'awful'.
