And has had another baby.

I honestly thought he was such a good bloke and it’s turns out he’s just another philandering rock star. I’m so sad for his wife and daughters.

He stood up on stage and said she doesn't play live. Which she does, as does her band. It was the actions of an arsehole and completely unnecessary.

Exactly, it was completely and utterly unnecessary. It speaks volumes about him that he felt the need to say what he did.

I’m pinning all my hopes on Keanu at this point.

Why?

Why are you pinning your hopes on any celebrity?!

Exactly - as well as the celebrity aspect because they are strangers to us it screams of not my Nigel . They are human beings- albeit in the spotlight, they're bound to put a foot wrong at some point.

Awwwww man! He’d seemed such a decent sort. Damn.

mottisfontrose · 10/09/2024 22:55

He's a rock star...isn't that the norm? Also, Jon Bon Jovi has hinted that Dorothea 'put up with him' during the early years and that he made a lot of mistakes...though hasn't openly said he cheated but we can all work it out. I would be very surprised if he was faithful. Maybe in the last 20 years or so but definitely not in the 80s which is when he was referring to. Most of these marriages that have lasted are due to the woman putting up with it. Same with rapper Snoop Dog and his wife.

Is anyone who doesn't rate TS 'an arsehole' then?

It's fine to not rate someone, a completely different thing to slag them off in public.

I'm afraid that's not all, he's also an AIDS denialist.

That makes an interesting, and depressing, read....

Aquamarine1029 · 10/09/2024 22:07

Give it a rest. I don't "rate" Taylor Swift at all. I don't listen to her music, I've heard some songs, obviously, but I'm not a fan. It was what he said, which was incorrect, btw, to do nothing but try to lessen her, because he's clearly an insecure, sad little man. It was pathetic.

What's him cheating on his wife got to do with his opinion on an overrated singer though?

KlaraSundown · 11/09/2024 00:29

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 10/09/2024 21:18

I always liked him, but went off him a few months ago when he slagged off Taylor Swift. Big old rock star MAN cannot stand it that a talented WOMAN is more successful than him.

Plus, he is not a conventionally good looking man. No woman would have been interested in banging him if he hadn't been a rock star.

Well this...

I think he is good looking.

That is so tragic and so terrifying. How can such a platform be given to such incredibly dangerous misinformation. That poor poor child.

A) he didn't state an opinion, he lied

B) He trades off his image of being such a nice guy so a lot of people were surprised, and it was quite recent so this further confirmation he's not so nice has come quite soon off the back of it.

Stll not sure why the two are related.

Greentreesandbushes · 11/09/2024 08:28

The fact that he is a Dad of daughters somehow makes it worse. Ffs.

Holidayhell22 · 11/09/2024 09:20

If you are going to put your dick into anything with a hole in it then at least use contraception.
Makes me feel sick.
I also never got the fuss over Taylor Hawkins death. He was a druggie. If he had been the local smack head people would not have had sympathy.
You make your bed and you lay in it.
I was only saying to a friend that all these long time married people are not necessarily happy. Lots of them tolerate all manner of abuse.
Jon Bon Jovi did come up in conversation too. I’ve seen the band many times in their hey day but, he had cheated on his wife.
It’s all depressing. Yet another man ruining peoples lives.

Don’t worry, there’s still Denzel.

PontiacFirebird · 11/09/2024 09:41

To be honest if I read about a good looking famous man who has been married faithfully for decades I always assume he’s gay. ( Paul Newman for example)
Only because to be frank, if most men were offered sex by beautiful young women in a daily basis, and doing it would not mean they were going to end up penniless in a one bed flat, they probably would. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Also I have met tons of male actors and I would say around a third were gay, but soooo few “out” famous actors, the chances are lots of wives are Beards.

notacooldad · 11/09/2024 09:55

@emonpepperlady

He's not a good bloke, he's been known in the industry for decades to be a total twat
In what way is he a twat?

Also why do people think he is 'one of the good ones' and ' the nicest guy in rock' etc.
I mean he seems fine but why do people put celebrities on such a pedestal when they can easy fall off.

You have an exceptionally low opinion of 50% of the world’s population if you think they would all cheat if given the chance.

GoodnightJude1 · 11/09/2024 09:58

He’s still the best.
His private life has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else and doesn’t change who he is as a musician.
I just hope the media leave his wife and children alone.

Since when?

I’ve been a FF fan for donkeys years and the only ‘negative’ thing I’ve ever seen written about him was when he’d made a comment about TS not singing live…..

Always been my absolute favourite. SO shocked.
