Diversity

The ego on him…

 

[Esme]

This was on the naomi thread....I do wonder whats going it all seems so odd. Ashley is exceptionally quiet on socials, even the likes of perri is.

I found it so odd he never spoke about Warren taking the lead, how good he was or that he was then back in place. Yet I saw other people sharing stories of someone who shared how awesome Warren was every day that he did it (not sure if he was a fan, part of the crew or went to a lot of shows). I can see Ashley has liked posts on Instagram so it’s not like he hasn’t been on there.

If I was her I would take the clothes off his back as well as everything else. He is keeping her sweet so she doesn't ruin him. I can't lie I have been thinking about this all day as I am not quite healed from my situation with my ex (currently getting therapy). I jsut want Fran out of this before she wastes anymore time. Their is a whole world waiting for her

She is responsible for much of the success she worked so hard for the team. She managed the tours with him and Dani

Somebody said on an old thread they got £10,000 per month for kiss

He’s got his Kiss job, Diversity and all the spinoffs from that, his glasses direct contract, numerous social media earning streams etc. Plus whatever he’s made from reality shows like DOI. He’s definitely not short of a few quid!

Jess is definitely drifting into the influencer life on tiktok! Lots of GRWM, daily vlogs etc
---

Do we think he bought this as a joke, or did Jess buy it to stamp her ownership on him?

Is she only in it for 5 mins? Jesus. I thought she had more of a main role given how much backstage she’s shared

Why are Jordan and Perri man-children? Knocking on the door of an exam room then running off? Are they 12?
So stupid and irresponsible. Jordan is in his thirties and finds things like this hilarious. I just don’t get it!

I agree. They clearly haven't thought about the impact on that person on the other side of the door

Another story of all the girls getting ready together without Shante. It’s giving the vibe of high school nasty girls.

Ok…so a bit of a fan here. I went to see their show on Sunday night. BUT all a little random…,.
My favourite Sam was not dancing. He was playing walk on parts so massively disappointed. Another injury I’m guessing.
Nathan was a complete no-show but was listed as being in the group in the programme credits but didn’t feature in the profiles at the front (if that makes sense)
I had no idea the nurse was Jess until I saw it on here!
Theo (the Perri looky-likey) is completely out of the picture now.
Lots of changes going on I guess!

Sorry to go back to this I’m catching up on the thread. Why isn’t Shan with the other girls at all now? The whole group seems to be interacting less on social, maybe it’s just tour stress. Also I don’t mind Star, I think she’s pretty but it is giving mean girl vibes with the two new girls. I liked the Shan, geo, star and Morgan setup but I do think Morgan was a bit too flirty with Ashley. Saying that I cannot stand men who bate younger women flirting (not saying he was) but I think god are you so in need of validation

 

[Late to the party]

I would really be so surprised if the Ashley and Starr rumours are true, it just feels so wrong. Would love to know what’s really going on. There were rumours here about him dating that blonde panto lady though.

I took what I heard with a very big pinch of salt. I just couldn't see it happening but who knows what is going on. Guess until one of them goes public with a new partner we'll never know.
I personally think Fran is a fantastic mother, friend and was probably a fabulous wife as well. She certainly seems very supportive of him as a friend as well. She really doesn't deserve to be treated badly by anyone.

 

[QuirkyFlamingo]

I added that one, should of clarified that the rest are all listed but she’s not

Fair enough! She’s an official member in her own head, I’m sure!

 

[Picklelily]

It’s all very odd. It’s cruel the fact that she is so excluded. It’s very obvious now with all the tiktoks of the other 4 that she’s not on talking terms with them. Wonder if it’s to do with the fact she’s still following Laura? I think the fact her and Jess don’t follow each other after all this time is telling

Could very well be! She’s pretty much the only one that is still interacting with both Fran and Laura. I have noticed that Starr seems to of dropped Georgia recently as well. There’s been no TikTok’s of them two since Jan and they used to pretty much live in each others pockets

 

[sunnydhaliwal]

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

 

[Shelby1]

I do feel for Georgia in all this back slapping and congratulating thats going on about the end of tour . She is still a part of diversity too.
Did Ashley thank her for staying behind and running the classes at the studio whilst tour took place?

 

[Late to the party]

Call me cynical but I wonder if the honorary degree is how they "pay" for a "celebrity" to be present at the graduation?
Seen a few posts from friends who's kids were there saying he was there and they had photos with him. Didn't realise until later he'd "graduated" as well!
P.S. Proud auntie as my niece was there graduating but no photos with him lol

 

[avb00]

I hope not. Someone said that he and Fran were still living together I can't imagine her being fine with that!! Jordan does not follow her on insta but everyone else does... surely his bestfriend and brother would be following his girlfriend?? All very weird.

The problem is Ashely is so private. I highly doubt he’s living in the house of his ex wife with this ‘new’ relationship. From what Fran shares it seems she has the house to herself.

We’ve no idea where Ashley lives - maybe with her?

But what the above said would make sense.

Panto was in December 2022 - he would’ve met Kirsty there.

Fran and Ash announced their split in December 2022.

So it looks like they started dating around that time and were worried it was going to be leaked online / to the press by people BTS.

That doesn’t explain how the press haven’t picked up on the new relationship - surely they’ve been seen in public together?

 

[rebelgirl]

Ladies one more piece of confirmation on Ashley and Kirsty. I take my grand daughter to a play group every Friday morning and my neighbours daughter takes her little one. I was on my Meryl Streep acting today and said i love the party but didnt like that girl who was gossiping. She confirmed that she is friends with her, and that girl knows becasue she is friends with Kirsty's sister who won't stop going on about it. Her family are super pleased.

Apprently they are happy and all Kirsty has ever wanted is to be famous and have a rich man on her arm. Dreams do come true aye. Am I too old to start the manfestation? . The whole diversity lot love her no idea on his family and that situation. They are meant to be going public soon. So very happy I was wrong about the Starr thing

I a

I think everyone with a high following try to dress ‘Paris’ like. I totally agree with you, both girls have brought a very strange element to the group. I feel they’ve really brought out Starr’s true colours.

Yeah it’s true about the classes - maybe Geo had to stay behind to do them? She’s been there 7 months so maybe she has a few core groups and that can’t be switched up. Plus there’s no other girls who could take over the classes - don’t think Shante does classes (I could be wrong)

I agree, I think those two just confirmed Starr in her mean girl energy.

 

[JessikaJai]

Shante was together with them NYE in 2022 and then she sorted disappeared last year from their posts. Saw her getting ready in the hotel room on her stories compared to the others in the backstage room. Really sad!

They are all making tiktoks and getting ready together whilst she is alone. Regardless of what’s went on I just could not see a girl be so alone like that. My daughters not much younger than her and I can’t imagine how I’d feel if that was her being so isolated. Maybe Shante is isolating herself. I don’t know. I noticed she doesn’t follow Jess but follows the other 3 new girls.

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.

Two years together now, do we reckon she really loves him? I doubted it completely at the beginning but she does seem to really be into him. But I do think this is it, don’t see him ever dating or being suited to anyone else. And yeah she’s also pretty much become a TikTok vlogger in the process..

Outside of panto and the odd dance lesson for whatever she’s involved with, she seems to spend all her mornings and afternoons in his house waiting for him to finish work.

 

[Late to the party]

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

I wouldn't be surprised. I don't get the greatest vibe from her personally.
