Ryan Giggs accepts no basis to accuse Imogen Thomas of blackmail

[SardineQueen]

Not usually a sleb watcher but this is linked to the "superinjunctions" palaver a while back which was discussed on here a lot so I thought it would be worth sharing!

FWIW my thoughts are what a lying scumbag this man is.

Yeah she's a saint too
Both as bad as each other and no doubt countless other slebs.
They deserved each other in the worst possible sense.

In my opinion, this is the end of an epic own goal (sorry couldn't resist!)

Had he have just took his comeuppance like a man then it would have all blown over in a few days. I mean nowadays who is surprised when a (married or otherwise) footballer sleeps with a pretty girl? Hardly even front page news anymore.

But in trying to keep her quiet he ensured that everyone in the world talked about it, even MP's.

But aside from that act of crass stupidity, the reason I will never ever find anything but contempt for Ryan Giggs is not that he had an extramarital affair but the fact he also shagged his brother's missus.

If you can betray your own brother like that, it just shows you what morals he has. Ie. None.

I don't really know anything about her. What has she done? He has lied to a court that he was being blackmailed, in order to gag her so his wife didn't find out he was fucking around.

Does she get compensation for him attempting to trash her reputation like that, accusing her of crimes that she had not committed?

She fucked him and then went to sell the story to a tabloid.
And it's not the first time she did it.
Giggs is deserving of the scorn and it's acceptable.
But why this tramp should get away with sympathy is beyond me.

You think that's as bad as cheating on your spouse with multiple people including your brothers wife, attempting to use your money and privilege to stop it coming out, lying to the courts and attempting to trash someone in the media for something they haven't done?

Interesting.

She must have known he was married.
Saint Imogen that is.

She was single though wasn't she?

How on earth you can think a single woman having sex with someone and then selling the story (is that definitely what happened?) is as bad as the list of things he has done is beyond me.

Mind you I suppose your use of the word "tramp" says it all really.

she has always said that she didn't sell the story though

Slutty behaviour on both their parts:

Her for sleeping with someone simply because they are famous, married or not, and because she can then make money from the story.

Him for betraying his wife and thinking with the organ between his legs and not his brain.

Serves him right for acting like a dog. She needs to get some self-esteem that doesn't involve dropping on her back, legs akimbo. There are girls out there who will happily shag around with married men, there are men out there who will happily go with them.

May they be happy together.

She was single he was married.
You see nothing wrong in her shagging a married man who has children?
What she did made her a tramp.
I will say that Giggs was wrong and a nobber for doing what he did.
And if you think shagging a married man and then selling the sordid story is ok?.....that's interesting.

Agree 100% TwoIfBySea.

Strange views on here.

How is having sex with someone who is married, on a par with being married and having sex with lots of other people including your brothers wife, trying to use your money and influence to cover it up, lying to the courts and lying in order to try and tarnish someone's reputation?

Do people really believe these are on a par? I think what he has done is so much worse.

Are you on a wind up sardine?
You've got a weird way of understanding what's right and wrong if you are not.
He behaved badly.
She behaved equally as badly.
I reckon most posters on here would say the OW is as much to blame.
And to tell the story afterwards?
Talking about using Giggs as a payday it's almost prostitution.

Neither of them have covered themselves in glory but to call her a tramp while describing him as 'only' a nobber does seem a bit one sided.
She wouldn't have had a story to sell if he had thought about his wife more.

She did not sell her story. Nor did she try to. How much clearer did it have to be stated?

Of course I'm not on the wind up xyfactor but I think you must be.

How can you look at the lists of "wrongdoing" and say that they have behaved equally as badly? That's just silly.

But it says in that article that the Sun later made it clear that the original story had not come from her and Giggs has now admitted that there was no basis for calling her a blackmailer.

If you're going to call her trash at least get your reasons for doing so straight. She's foolish, he's something altogether more sinister.

Here's Max Clifford excusing her actions.
She had every intention of selling the story and now she is making a fortune out of it.

Agree with Sardine. If my DH cheated it wouldn't be the fault of the woman who "tempted him away", he is the one who is married, it is therefore his responsibility to make sure he respects his vows. Nobody else has sworn any loyalty to me so they cannot be expected to act as zookeeper.

Her morals are definitely questionable if she went after him knowing he was married but all he had to say was no.

You don't see lying to the courts and the press about something as serious as blackmail is a particularly big deal then?

Interesting.

xyfactor the link you have just posted also says that she didn't want to sell her story

zookeeper

What does your DH keep in his pants??!!

xyfactor. She never sold her story to the papers. Giggs brought out the superinjunction on the basis that she had treatened to (the "blackmail" referred to) It subsequently turns out she had never threatened to blackmail him.

So he shags a single woman then brings the force of the law down on her to keep her quiet because he can afford to. By that point she had no legal redress. Because it was a superinjunction she was not allowed to even mention that the injunction existed, not did she know he was doing it so she couldn't protest her innocence at the time. How can you bring a case under those conditions, even if you did have access to the amount of money Giggs had?

Giggl lied in court to keep her silent. Man with power silences woman without.

If he really thought she was blackmailing him, there are very clear blackmail laws that he could have used. But there was no evidence, there never was.

Totally agree with Sardine. He made a promise to his wife, it's him who's broken it. I wouldn't do what she did, but it's her business.

Furthermore, he lied in court. What he's done is not just dispicable, it's illegal.
