I cannot believe some of the double standards going on here.
This is no one woman crusade against creepy cheating husbands.
A woman making a stand for other women wouldn’t:
Blame the ‘mistress’ more than the husband
Call other women fat and ugly - not just the ‘mistress’ but even women who dared to like IG’s status
Treat her 2 daughter’s emotions with flippant disregard, saying they’ll forget it all in 15 years so it doesn’t matter (check out the stately homes thread Alice) and sharing details of their pain with the press to make IG look like a monster
Drag her mother in law and children’s grandmother into the online spat (not the grandfather I notice)
I could go on
She may be hurting but this isn’t just a hurting woman, this is a not very nice hurting woman. Not very nice people get dumped too, and I don’t believe all this vile behaviour manifested the instant he left. I think she was a nightmare to IG and I can see why he feels unable to stay in contact with her. Remember if this is what she’s saying online just imagine what she sent him in private.
When it’s a man nobody races to pin the above behaviour on their unhappiness, it’s called abuse.
Just because she is de facto a woman whose husband has left her, doesn’t mean she deserves outpourings of empathy.
And for those saying IG shouldn’t have put his new girlfriend on social media because their daughter saw it; Alice posted that IG was leaving on SM, where was her regard for what her kids would see then?!
Honestly, supporting wronged women is great, but you undermine this by racing to explain Alice’s behaviour away with ‘breakdowns’ and ‘unhappiness’.
