The rumours about MO being a man are truly disgusting.

I highly recommend her memoir. It is really well written and moving.

It's fantastic, she's an amazing woman and what an inspiration. Imagine achieving all that she has, and all some people have to say about her are rumours about her marriage.

PullTheBricksDown · 25/01/2025 18:51

If I were Jennifer Aniston 😉I'd pick the hottest guy I could find - who was totally unknown to the media - to have an affair with. Not, and no offence to Barack, someone where the press are bound to notice his comings and goings.

Well not sure I believe this.But she deserves to meet someone nice, I've been reading about the Obamas about to divorce for a few weeks now,
.

She's already met someone nice. Her husband.

It is a right wing propaganda machine, that draws people in with gossip and tattle. It is full of lies, 'suggestions', divisive reporting, fear-mongering, racist , inaccurate, hate-filled, misogynistic rubbish.

If that were the truth they would be sued for libel on a daily basis. Just for clarity I don't and have never read the DM nor do I choose to read broadsheets like The Guardian.
They are both too extreme in their journalistic bias for my taste

You do know that the DM isn't classified as a newspaper...

My ex MIL would disagree :)

StormyWeather01 · 25/01/2025 18:56

Well they seem like an unlikely pairing but who knows?

Whowillwintraitors25 · 25/01/2025 18:57

It’s a story in the Daily Mail.

That’s probably all we need to know.

I assure you it is true. Read it for a week and analyse the type of articles, language and actual facts. It is a rag only suited to being used as loo roll

Brombat · 25/01/2025 18:59

Next door very kindly donate me their DM after it's read. I put it in my hen coop poo trays, it's really good as chook toilet roll.

ClairDeLaLune · 25/01/2025 19:02

I think they are on a break.

Americano75 · 25/01/2025 19:02

She's a bare faced liar, they were at the same wife swap party as me and Mr Americano last weekend. I was hoping to pull his keys out the bowl but no such luck. Had to settle for Bob Carolgees instead.

I saw them in ‘Spoons in Grimsby on Tuesday morning sharing a full English and a pint of mild.

I was there too, Jen kicked right off because they substituted her hash brown with another sausage and she said it was too much meat. Obama looked well fucked off.

Neither has Trump and Melania or Rooney and Coleen or Will and Kate. No divorce doesn't mean no affair.

And bitchy celebrity gossip doesn’t mean an affair either.

Wayne’s infidelity is well-documented and the Rooneys have been open about things. Colleen has spoken about why she stayed in the marriage.

AFAIK there’s no proof that Melania has had an affair. Rumours circulate because she often has a face like a slapped arse and (understandably imo) doesn’t seem to like the Orange One touching her.

Trump is a sex offender and has admitted himself he sees no issue in being a sex pest (“grab them by the pussy”), or shagging other women (Stormy Daniels).

The rumour about William’s affair came from a stupid, drunk “joke” tweet from a journalist that went viral. He’s since admitted that it was a joke that got out of hand but people love to imagine that William is shagging on the side, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I don’t know why Michelle stayed away. I imagine it’s because she’s a strong-minded, intelligent woman with clear principles and she has no time for a corrupt, spiteful felon like Trump.

No one knows what the Obamas’ marriage is like. BO always seemed so respectful of Michelle, and very affectionate. Their talk of family life with their daughters was genuinely heartwarming. It would be sad if their marriage has broken down but these things can happen to anyone. I hope it’s just more of the usual gutter press bullshit. There’s certainly no evidence at all right now to suggest it’s true other than Michelle’s absence which right-wingers are having a field day with 🙄

They probably are sued for libel on a pretty frequent basis. Not all cases/settlements happen in the public eye.

In America the libel/defamation laws are very different. It's extremely difficult for a public figure to win, and they need to meet a legal definition of proving actual harm has come about as a result.

The can sue in the British courts, but if often has the effect of elevating the rumours. If the Obamas sued every time something untrue or false was printed about them, teams of lawyers would do nothing else.

Michelle is a trouper. She did eight years in the White House, then was trotted out every time he wanted to say something profound backed Biden then Harris.

I think she's entitled to say it's her time now. She's had it up to the back teeth with Washington. She has to endure the secret service in her life still. Her husband just can't let it be he's still embroiled

I am JA and can confirm it’s bollox - HTH

I'm the bed and confirm it is 100% true

TiredCatLady · 25/01/2025 19:13

OP - I have a great suggestion for improving your life: stop reading the DM. It’s 99% gutter press shite written by desperate hateful excuses for journalists taking advantage of gullible people.

Side note: I really do hope MO runs for office.

SecretSoul · 25/01/2025 19:13

I highly recommend her memoir. It is really well written and moving.

I know she doesn’t want to but it would be amazing if Michelle ran for office.

She’s an incredible woman and one of the few people who has admirers on both sides of the political divide. Obviously excluding the racist idiots who think it’s funny to suggest she’s a bloke.

stormacoming · 25/01/2025 19:14

Did you even read the article? It states that she denied a rumour over a year ago and has barely met the bloke.

CoolShoeshine · 25/01/2025 19:14

The affair's in the past- let them have closure.

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 25/01/2025 19:15

Obama here. I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Prove it! Tell us what the definition of "is" is!

Then let us look and see if you have cigar stains on your fingers.

How???

As much as the Daily Fail is a cesspool of right wing twaddle - this kind of stuff that they print does tend to be spot on.
They always do it in a sneaky, underhand way.
But more often than not - it turns out to be true.

SnidelyWhiplash · 25/01/2025 19:16

I’m sure it’s bollocks.

I’d be gutted if the Obamas split. I admire them both so much.

But I will also immediately divorce my lovely husband in pursuit of Barack.

Why read an article when you could just make something up 😂?
