Diversity

[JessikaJai]

They shouldn’t of even be allowed access to that corridor, nevermind banging on it like primary school children! Only thing I can hope is the crew knew it was all empty and the exams hadn’t began.

I think the Banjos close rank on anyone wanting to leave the fold. Will be interesting to see how the relationship with Perri changes.

I think it’s why Fran hasn’t moved on.

Been busy with family stuff. Starr is a evil little wench isn't she? I actually kind of take back my thoughts about the possibility of her snd Ashley being together. Even though he is a narcissistic with very obvios delusions of grandstanding he is still quite mature? I don't think he could cope with the childish behaviour. Starr is an actual bully. Someone needs to say it like it is here and to her face. And that little elf nosed Jess better watch out. Once Perri is done with her she will be thrown out just like Laura was.

Also, I hope none of my daughters/granddaughters ever experiance a little self obsorbed wannabe witch like Starr. But if they do then may they have the class and grace of Shante and Fran. As a mother i am taken aback by Danielle, I would have thought she would have had a word. But she is jut as self centered. You can see that Jordan wants to be fighter and she is living her failed dance dream through them. Not suprised she will push everyone to the limit!

Starr is really up her self tbh - like thinks shes the best thing since sliced bread and super rude

She would have no opportunities without Diversity, the Kiely name, and being Perri’s sister. Mental how much money and opportunities she’s gotten in the past year especially.

Yeah she’s a cunt energy to be honest, even more in recent years when she became close with Jess and got into the modelling. The fake boobs are ridiculous.

What did she do that you thought was really rude?

I have a lot of respect for Perri’s half sister, Elvie who has kept out of the their limelight and has a good career.

I've noticed this tour there seems to be a lot of divides..
Perri doesn't appear to take part in many of the tik toks/vids and Ashley hasn't at all.
There are very few girls and boys dance videos whereas before they all used to be more mixed together
Shante seems completely ostracised, whether that's her choice or whether it's been forced on her.
I think if Ashley is worried about ensuring diversity keeps a squeaky clean image he needs to think less about hiding any potential relationships and more on the dynamics of the group as it is glaringly obvious something has changed.

I really feel for shante, must be horrible seeing all the others have so much togetherness and her be by herself.
Also, as soon as they were back home, Nathan was making videos with the boys again but geo was no where to be seen, I think something has defo happened.

 

[Mythoughts]

Seems neither Shanté or Fran were at the party

I don't think jordan or nathan was there either.
I think its good fran wasn't there, she needs to be able to form a life for herself away from ashley and diversity and she seems to be doing that which is amazing.

Looks like geo and starr are more ok now.

Right! If I was only 25 years younger I would know the playbook of how to target one of them. Then I could get paid for doing nothing and sunset into being one of the Real Housewives of Brentwood in the Z-list Banjo crew

Join Nay and complain about my husband who bankrolls my lifestyle on one of our walks. Anyne got a time machiene?

I can’t imagine KISS would want to let them go considering the listeners they’ve brought in. I wonder what happened. I doubt they were particularly happy that Perri and Jordan created their own podcast. But yes, waking up at 3am and then having rehearsals etc must’ve been torture for their health.

You won't believe this but I was wrong and my luck. My neighbour had a barbecue yesterday and we all ended up watching BGT together inside as it was freezing and there was a little boy on dancing saying how Diversity are his idols and I said I don't think diversiy are that good and started on the usual Ashley hate. All the women were saying how fit Ashley is and one of them made a comment about being his next wife. Out of nowhere a girl said he already has one and her name is Kirsty and everyone just laughed and said lucky her. Later on that evening i was chatting to her and couldnt bring myself to bring it up. All I know is this girl is in her middle twenties and lives in Northampton 10 mins or so from me. Don't want to say her name here because I know they read here and don't want to get her in any drama. I searched who Ashleys following and there is only one Kirsty the one from the panto.


Her instagram is open and there is a photo on her profile with Starr at the diversity new year party in 2023. Maybe that caused an argument becasue she was there with Fran whilst she was still wearing her wedding ring. I would be furious. That my husband invited woman he was seeing or interested in to a new year party I was at with my kids. And i am very sure that the rest of them must have known about it the glances the smiles all whilst our fran most probably was hopeful for them getting back together. Them all posing with her for photos looking all cosy and friendly, where is the loyalty?

Yeah i know they were separated but still imagine how fran must have felt. All of them getting close to her replacement who is literally a younger replica of her. Shame on you Ashley!

Is it maybe is the same Kirsty that was discussed in the Fran thread and we think diversity members were pally with her as they did a show/panto with her last year or the year before. It must be common knowledge between Fran and her if they’re in the same space. Or maybe not? Could it be that the girl who said it read that info on the other thread?

also not to discuss the ring thing again but a lot of women I know after getting divorced feel weird without a ring on so put a plain one on that finger as a transition, could this be what’s happening?

I feel like some people (not you obv) are painting Fran out to be a desperate stay at home wanting to get back with him but who knows she could have called it off and said she wasn’t getting what she needs from him and is happier now. When does she get time for herself though???

I could not do a part time relationship

Something definitely happened around summer/back end of last year. Again Starr stopped interacting with Shante’s posts around September last year. Shante and her brother are the only ones that still openly have communication with Fran on instagram.

It’s all very odd and it’s starting to seem that maybe Starr is one of the issues

 

[Picklelily]

You already know, I am die hard Francesca fan. I am so disappointed in all of them for not liking and commenting on her birthday post. Sure some of them did, but for people who are on line all the time it is so strange I am sure after this post they will all start the rubbish…

Even worse because she still works for Diversity!!! I’d love to know what’s gone down with everyone

 

[Rose28454]

Omg just realised my comment suggested we did the bed hopping I meant the tours not that!!

 

[avb00]

I seen Perri’s really gotten into video making and to be honest, his videos and the themes are actually quite decent.

I'm sure he will end up making contacts in industry and that he will break into that field fully post-dancing.

From his first video that he uploaded, it was pretty much implied that it was a shock that they were let go from the radio and he felt lost in terms of what was next and was the catalyst for him to start a YouTube.

I do think that Perri is trying to break into this to get some sort of a second income as the loss of the radio would've been a massive hit.

 

[4fourHon]

How young and naive must that Jess be to put her whole career on hold and follow Perri wherever he goes and take on minor roles to allow that. I know she met him at panto but is that her aspiration to do panto once a year and be their wardrobe girl?! Silly girl.

 

[Cocoflowers]

Jordan and perri are leaving kiss breakfast im guessing it wasn't their decision

 

[JessikaJai]

I feel really sad for her. Even if she’s chosen to distance herself, it must still be so isolating. I haven’t seen her with ANY of the members

Me either other than her twin. I’ve seen Jordan winding her up on a few stories. Her Mum works on the tour too. The dynamic was much nicer when it was Star, Geo, Morgan and Shante. The inclusion of new girls has seemed to really push her out which is shocking behavior considering she’s been part of Diversity for many years. I bet she can not wait for this tour to be finished to surrounded herself with better people.

 

[JessikaJai]

I’ve already said it in Perri’s thread but wonder what happened between them and Shante. I wonder why she’s in the group - I wouldn’t be happy with no friends and being excluded from the circle and always lack of sponsorships etc

I can’t believe the team behind the scenes is made up of the mothers of the group and they allow it to happen. Sitting back and watching a young girl openingly be segregated is disgusting. I have a daughter only a few years younger than Shante and it would break my heart.

 

[JessikaJai]

She has Jess and Najah too far up her arse to even care it seems.

 

[Rose28454]

She needs to take him to the cleaners. I think the group is so over they kept it going too long. Some of them will have dancing careers I.e Nathan , Warren and Georgia because at least they are talented and humble. Perri has got too big for his boots.

 

[Esme]

Nathan is immensely popular and did a lot of classes at the studio. I wonder what pushed him to leave? He was quite emotional in his video and paused, like he was stopping himself from saying more on a few occasions.
