So Cheryl has finally given Ashley the boot, a terse 21-word statement issued just hours after her return from L.A. to Heathrow signalling the end of what one could refer to as one of the most controversial celebrity relationship of this century.
Of course the tabloids had a field day with the story: "cheating husband gets the boot" and "because he's not worth it" splashed across the papers. His "five flings" made public knowledge, not to mention his oh-so-sensitive images taken by a mistress being beamed into every Sky box this side of the Atlantic. Harrowing images of a heartbroken Cheryl (the nation's sweetheart, how could he) leaving the airport in turmoil ... a tragedy, but dare I say a delicious one.
One could attempt a baseless arguement that newspapers and the media *nagging old woman's voice* "have no right to invade the privacy of a couple's relationship" - that's is, I admit, 100% true. Nobody has the right, but the fact remains that as long as people want to know about the sordid details of a couple's failing relationship, the media will provide. There is A LOT of money to be made in the misery of others, horrible but true. Nobody likes this fact, but a fact it remains. Deal with it.

Not sure who wrote this, but I think there are elements of courting the media going on here. If Cheryl wants to keep her privacy, it seems strange that she would make a statement to the media. That, in my eyes, is Cheryl giving the media the all clear to follow both their private lives.
ReplyDeleteAs for Ashley, well he certainly doesn't deserve the privacy. I remember being on a football website about a year ago in which they were conducting a poll:
"Ashley Cole aside, who is the most despicable footballer in the Premier League?"
And then there was the time he said he "almost crashed his car", in disgust at the £70,000 wage that Arsenal were offering.
