Wow. You go and do real life stuff (children, car, work etc) and come back to double new threads and have to spend ages catching up!
I feel for Oscar and Ava but I also completely understand the psychological dependence that has been created between them and their mother. They are children, and she’s been all they ever knew, and her lies and mood swings are normal to them. I think they will spend most of their adult lives unpacking the damage she has done, but I hope they understand that it is not their fault - they aligned themselves with her to survive.
And now we know - thanks to LoveHoney - what Ash’s official position is - LH says they received this directly from Ash and her management - ASHLEIGH HUISH NEVER KNEW that Gail Gayle Newland was a two time convicted rapist.
So if Ash never knew, that means that Gail never reported her status to Ash, and broke the terms of her Sexual Harm Prevention Order. Has Ash reported Gail to the police? And what has Gail said in her defence?
Ash has bullied many a person in her life, it seems, but she’s never gone up against anything like Gail Newland. That predator keeps grudges and is obsessive. No matter what happens publicly in terms of Ash being cancelled, If Ash shops Gail, she’s in for a rough time of it (but from her account, she likes that, so

).
Ash at the very least failed in a duty of care to her children (who whether or not they met Gail, are now dealing with these revelations). She and her management failed in a duty of care to her brands. They really are stupid because they’ve backed themselves into a corner.
