Diversity

[rebelgirl]

Wonder has she met the kids yet

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.

geo had appendicitis? Or you did? Sorry for misunderstanding. Stars probably get away with some bad behaviour because her brothers Ashley’s right hand man.

I really rate Geo, she’s a great dancer, seems focused and will do great things. I hope she sees her worth, and Shan too

Been away because of appendicitis but I think it is so strange that they allow Star to be at the center of so much drama and bitchness and she even gets rewarded by being part of the diversity studio stuff. They obviously read here it is just crazy that none of them care or maybe i care to much becasue if people were gossiping saying i need to be a better person i would listen? or maybe they are a bunch of narcissists like Ashley who knows!

So many questions we need answers…

So are the kids never gonna see Cass and Mimi again because of this fall out?
Will Fran and Naomi speak again?
What’s Ashley playing at and what’s his fancy piece?
Why the hell has Shante been excluded from the group?
Is this Diversity’s last tour?

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.

Have you all noticed Starr is giving Geo her time of day now Najah is back in the USA?

I had noticed how friendly they were again. Lots on social media, assumed it was to protect the precious diversity image but I guess it shows that Starr is just the type of person we all know she is.

As I’ve said previously I worked on many of their tours in catering. I think most of the dancers were not paid a great deal and I think that’s why the other brothers who were in the original group left after an argument over money. It’s the Ashley ( and maybe Perri ) show and everyone else is a worker. The mother is in charge together with Ashley and Francesca was in the management team before the split.
Perri’s, sam and Mitch’s, and Theo’s mum were all chaperones on the tours ( due to the kids ages ) but were also required to be in charge of wardrobe.
I see both Ashley and Francesca using their kids to make money online now.

Yeah, because when you think about it the other members are just pushed to the side even since the beginning when they won BGT, the only members that were popular were Ashley and Perri.

Perri especially before he hit adulthood because of his looks - having the glasses, the big Afro, and the exceptionally small height for his age. Even nearly 20 years later, people still hold onto that image of Perri.

Although there was a little bit, I never saw any sort of hype for Mitch despite the fact that he was the same age as Perri when they won diversity and equally as small and cute.

Thoughts on Shante posting a clip which featured a close up of georgia sitting alone and what looked like maybe Starr and some other girls standing in the distance together.
Seemed quite telling particularly as she didn't tag Georgia in the clip
Maybe there has been a fall out and Georgia is now on the sidelines as well?

very strange story indeed - knowing Diversity members would see it. Laura has liked Shante’s birthday photos and I think it says it all that the fall out is around her siding with Laura.

I don’t think Georgie and Starr are close anymore, I think their relationship is for social media only. I’ve not seen them together at all since end of tour or I could be wrong?

however Georgie did post a group photo with Shante and a few of the guys a few days ago on stories and Shante shared that.

 

[Mythoughts]

I don't think it's an issue tbh...I used to spent part of mothers day with my mum and partner and then part with his mum.

Kirsty has posted a story where you can clearly see she’s got a bump. She must be due soon. I wonder if/when they will address it.

Pity it can’t be shared here, I don’t follow her. They’ll have no choice but to address it now. I wasn’t sure if they were still together given how busy he always is and the fact their relationship hasn’t been leaked but that confirms it.

Have they got something in place to prevent pics of them being leaked to the media? They’ve been together over 2 years then, same time as Perri and Jess. Surprised nothing had been leaked of them together.

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!

I think there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that they’re trying to keep quiet.

Sorry babes it was me! God forbid anyone experiences that pain especially not Geo she is a lovely girl wit even better talent I agree with you. Hope you been well hun x

 

[Late to the party]

Just saw Stars stories saying she didn’t answer Bali questions / recommendations whilst she was there for her own safety . How famous does this girl think she is hostels would be flooded with fans

I noticed that the people that she was there with were posting and tagging her whilst they were there. Still didn't get bombarded lol

 

[Mythoughts]

This is the survey....if you can win a years worth of classes at a studio near you then surely they are opening more rather than a pop up? Xx

 

[sunnydhaliwal]

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.

Just her me me me attitude. She is also quite cold to people who aren't big influencers

 

[Mythoughts]

That’s what I thought it would be, but Ashley makes it sound like they’re actually opening up new studios! Maybe it’s just my brain Your version definitely sounds more viable though.

I thought the same, but the pop up venues make more sense

 

[JessikaJai]

I won’t be posting details of location online but Perri’s new house was over a million quid. Diversity and Kiss must be paying more than I imagined!

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

Naomi has confirmed Jordan isn't on tour as he has a few commitments that would take him away for 3-4 weeks at a time. He is happy to have built a career around the Banjo and Diversity name but now bails out when it doesn't suit him. I really can't imagine it brings a huge amount of money to the dancers.

Someone mentioned the mums being part of the crew which started as the kids were too young to be touring without a chaperone so the mums went but did wardrobe aswell. They don’t need to do it anymore but still do. There was a very young dancer called Theo whose mum went but he seems to have disappeared. I think dani and Ashley are quite ruthless

 

[missyt95]

I don’t think it’s about fame, more so that there are loads of weirdos on the internet, even for your average girl so it’s smart not to post in real time

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!

It’s actually been discussed here quite a lot over the last few months about them but there’s very little evidence. A few people have said they have connections to DV in real life and Ashley is dating her.. others said the same about him getting back with Fran…

Looks like Ashley doesn’t want to go public with her. They don’t like each others posts since the end of Panto. Surely the press would’ve photographed them at this point?

 

[JessikaJai]

How is starr to blame? Unless he cheated on fran with her that is. If they got together after the break up then she hasn't done anything wrong, and neither has he really, yes she is younger, but there's nothing to say that this relationship is unhealthy or grooming (at this stage)
I'm not defending Ashley at all but if it is true, maybe it just happened? Lots of relationships start in the workplace, often with age gaps. Doesn't mean they are predatory.

I agree with you, and if it is true about Star and Ashley then Fran can’t be that overly upset with the situation cos she’s still attending the shows, commenting on posts and so on. I don’t think the age gap is that alarming at all. She’s a grown women in her 20s, not an impressionable young girl. The situation is morally wrong, of course. I guess we can’t help who we fall for. The time on tour they spend together on a tour is very intense and connections are often formed.
