    I don't get it at all.

    So now ex BB reality 'star' Imogen Thomas has been told she can't reveal which married premiership player she was having an affair with.

    Why can't she blab?

    She probably got paid a load of money to keep quiet

    And, who cares?

    No idea, tbh.

    You're asking in the wrong place for a serious answer anyhoo.

    'His' injunction is being contested in court this coming Wed so there could be a landmark ruling given all the attention these injunctions have been getting of late.

    She cant blab.

    Her mouth is full.

    All I can see is Premiership footballer and Big Brother. I think my head is going to explode.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    I'm just curious, that's all.

    I figured despite all the 'who give a fook comments', someone will know why.

    Apologies for wasting everyone's precious time. Actually, no I'm not. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 827 ✭✭✭Wolflikeme


    Why does she want to reveal it? These women are such twats.

    Not defending the player for having an affair by the way, but obviously tramps like her (who knew he was married in the first place) just want publicity, because I assume she's talentless having resorted to Big Brother.

    I just hope it's not Giggsy (as rumors are suggesting)! :(

    That ginger one from Girls Aloud was going to publicly reveal she was with me.

    Had to get an injunction to stop her smearing my name :pac:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,943 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    I hate modern day "celebrity's". If you can even call them that. fools.
    So desperate for money that they would rather tell a rag and the world about the affair rather than the wife which is unfair to her.

    Why people actually give a **** about it I really dont know. But until people stop caring about nobody's this kinda stupid **** is going to be around for hundreds of years.

    Sad fcuks.

    It has to do with privacy. Some players lose these cases when they seem to be more interested in protecting their assets rather than their families. Some players are also involved with charities or brands and by throwing themselves in the limelight as a "role model" then it could be argued it is right to publish such allegations. But if a player just plays football and maintains a private personal life, he could argue it is an invasion of privacy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    I presume they can stop it going to press if the other party cant provide evidence?

    Thanks, TheWaltzing.

    Kiera - evidence of what? How can they prove it didn't happen?

    Well, I suppose all the Manchester WAGs are going spare now.

    As she's the one who wants to make the accusations, I assume she has to be able to prove it. Otherwise, it's her word against his/theirs!!

    Er, well you can pipe down!

    I asked a simple question. Why? You didn't have to open the thread if you are that uninterested :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭Pauleta


    Maybe the player is Keane to keep this a secret from his wife and family.

    Well any slapper can go to the papers a pretend to have slept with someone famous to try get money out of them. I guess the injunction would be given out to the footy players and the likes until the slapper could prove they actually did sleep with them/have an affair?

    I dunno....

    Do you not think these kind of stories are a bit ridiculous or that be too personal? Do you like hearing about them?
    I'd imagine his wife.
    And telling the whole world before telling her really makes it that bit better.. Please.

    I LIKE HEARING ABOUT THEM

    And i find the legalities of it quite interesting.

    I'd like to understand it further actually , it doesn't sound a million miles away from lads outside the district courts paying hacks not to report on their drunk driving convictions in the local papers.

    The hints going around are that he is at a top club, which rules him out and that he is an ex international, probably could be a couple of other options but Giggs the one I thought of.

    They've enough money to throw at lawyers to get them injuctions

    i imagine some are sick of the constant claims with no evidence to back them up affecting they're family life careers and sponsorships.

    I think it just keeps the tabloids in check that they now need solid evidence before they can print anything

    British judges, acting on their own accord and through injunctions, are redefining privacy for citizens in the public eye. Instances like this would go to court and get resolved in favor of one side or the other, but the judges are blocking the stories before they are published. These judges are essentially saying, “This soccer player may or may not have cheated, it’s irrelevant, but it’s of no concern to the public. It’s a private matter so it’s not newsworthy.”

    'HEARTBROKEN Imogen Thomas told yesterday how she was cruelly betrayed by her married footballer lover - the latest superstar to hide his cheating in the courts. Her eyes red from crying, she said: "I can't work because of the fuss so I don't know how I'll pay the mortgage" - As reported by The Sunday Mirror.

    'She was spotted near her London home yesterday weeping before holding her head in her hands and crumpling to the pavement. The agony showed as she made a phone call just hours before a meeting with publicist Max Clifford. Friends said former Miss Wales Imogen is now considering telling her story so she can move on with her life. Mr Clifford said she could earn £250,000 if she tells all and the footballer's identity is made public' - As reported by Monday's Daily Mirror.

    How big is her fcukin' mortgage!?!
    She can't work?! Why not?! Too sad? Good enough for ya, twat.
    Sad? I don't care, you knew he was married.
    Needs a quarter of a million to move on with her life? BOLLOCKS!!!
    Presumably after she ruins his marraige (I know he's not toally innocent) she can find work again.
    If she cares about him, why does she want to do this him?

    What a class A CNUT.

    I would tell her get a job, other than riding footballers and trying to sell the story for money. She reeks of desperation.

    She's a professional kiss n tell merchant and he's an idiot. You'd think that dalliances with the likes of Linsey Dawn Mckensie back in the 90s would have 'learned' him

    well obv if it was him (!!!!)

    It is amazing that despite all the stories they still go on and do this, with a fair few gold diggers out there willing to spill the beans. I think she went out with Russel Brand at one stage, that would have had the alarm bells ringing for me!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,900 ✭✭✭✭Riskymove


    she is actually free to tell anyone she wants, subject to the usual risks about slander etc

    the injunction is against media outlets reporting what she says

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    I havent seen it said that she broke the story, from what I can see the story was about to break, he got injunction, left her to take the abuse and now she is gonna get a little revenge by making some dosh outta it. Good on her.

    He is the one who is married, he is the one who should be called the slapper.

    I feel a little sorry for her.
