To wonder why there’s no media reportings that describe Dwight Yorke as the scumbag that he is?

[Y1000]

He has had no presence in Harvey’s life. Why isn’t this repeatedly in the media as to how atrocious this is? Misogyny at its finest or something else?

Yanbu!

I've another thread but I find it hard to hate Katie price, given the men shes been dealt

Whats his career like now though, does he do anything? I havent really seen him in the press

Because it’s old news. It’s been reported on for many years now.

'the men shes been dealt'

That's such a weird way of putting it.

Almost as though she had literally no choice.

Andrew Tate, Trump - they don’t get nearly as much coverage as they bloody should. Imagine if they were women.

The men she chose. She did have a choice

@TinyTempest Katie has been there for Harvey from day one.

Dwight however also had a choice and chose to opt out. Scumbag.

Are you just gonna follow me around mumsnet today?

Yeah, shes been dealt a bad hand when it comes to men imo

She makes bad choices so isnt blameless

But no-one forced Dwight to abandon their son

It’s mind boggling that a man can do what Dwight did to Harvey and that’s apparently Katie’s fault!

Just how brainwashed are you by the patriarchy @TinyTempest and @Kangarude ? Sad.

@HundredMilesAnHour not sure that’s the only reason, given Katie is still criticised for actually parenting.

Did dwight at least pay for Harvey? I cant remember

I suppose if you dont wanna be a dad, fine. But it seems to me it was about his disability, which makes me sad 🥺

@youreactinglikeafunmum no idea if he has ever paid.

How can it be fine though to not want to be a dad? He IS a dad. A thoroughly awful one.

Brainwashed? Because I said she chose her boyfriends?
What a ridiculous suggestion.

It was newsworthy at the time Harvey was born. She chose to have sex with a man who had no interest in becoming a father. Yes he is a shit bag who should have used condoms

Honestly, i said the same about mo gilligan

In my own experience, a 'dad' who doesn't want or like you, who is being forced to be around due to societal pressure, is worse than an absent one

The kid will know they aren't wanted. Better to be with a mum who is sane and loves you

What does this have to do with my reply?

Did you quote the wrong poster? 😳

He paid out years ago for Harvey, made it clear he didn’t want a relationship and has been open and honest about that.
Maybe he still finances H?
Not Dad of the year obviously but then is KP any better?

Don't flatter yourself.

It's hardly may fault if you're all over MN like a rash.

@Kangarude there is no blame to be placed on Katie for Dwight not parenting his child. It is honestly sad that you can’t see that. Please reflect on your thought process here! Dwight had sex, Katie had sex, a baby arrived, Katie picked up all the parenting and Dwight did nothing. That’s not Katie’s fault.

@lilaclemon i think actually knowing your child does make Katie better, yes.

Whoah wait a minute?

Dwight Yorke is an absolute scumbag, the lowest of the low.

But that has literally nothing to do with me saying KP hasn't been 'dealt' men, she chose them.

Dwight Yorke isn't the only one who has done this. Jack P Shepherd cheated on the mother of his children and had a child with another woman. The child is disabled. JPS pays but doesn't see his son.

@youreactinglikeafunmum yes it might be better in the circumstances thay men think they can impose on their child. But those circumstances should never come to be. Men should be held accountable and it shouldn’t just be accepted to emotionally abuse and neglect your own child. Which is exactly what an absent father does.

@MrsLizzieDarcy the fact you are detailing these things when Katie has parented just shows how absurd this is. Dwight has been doing whatever he wanted since the day Harvey was born! Nobody has repeatedly criticised that over the years… which is my point.

I've another thread but I find it hard to hate Katie price, given the men shes been dealt

She wasn’t dealt them, she chose them.

@jazzybelle i didn’t know that. Awful.
