The Popbitch article (they are behind a paywall) about Chim is interesting The French guy had been pictured a lot with L.siverman. It's a strange coincidence if you buy into contract rumours.I agree. I think she got too confident and thought she didn't need to appear in the tabloids to stay relevant.
I remember hearing at the time that the malaria was the work of the X Factor PR team. Allegedly, the true story is that she was hospitalised for an eating disorder.
She was also never legally married to the French guy. I think I read about that on Popbitch. There was no real divorce (and the accompanying legal documents/court dates) because there was no real marriage.
She wouldn't get much royalties. Songwriting is where the money is.
People don't make a lot off songwriting anymore unless you're signed to a label as a writer. Nicola Roberts has been posting a lot about how streaming has ruined earning a living for songwriters, you need a million streams just to get anything significant now. She afterall had to sell her house the other year.
You believe that was a real relationship.I think Ashley Cole was her one true love and she has nevergot over him or his cheating on her.
