I am so glad this thread exists, if I was still a follower of theirs I sure wouldn't be after this tit show jen has pulled. The "i don't talk about it online" narrative is mind blowing, does she even realise she's just aired some seriously personal details about isla, hannah and hannahs husband.
I know sometimes in the film world the step mum is often made to be evil, and the step dad the hero, but this situation is so different. Jen wants to talk about sexism? How about feminism hun? Jen slept with al while hannah was pregnant with isla, for months they snuck around behind her back while she was carrying als child. Al spoiled jen with presents and flowers rather than being there for his expectant wife. While H was working her arse off as a midwife, and dealing with the normal strains of pregnancy, al was meeting jen in the park for a quickie, with no thought to his baby. Jen has painted this picture of her and al being sidelined by H and her husband, acting as if her and al are hard done by.
When the reality is Al left baby isla when she was 5 weeks old. He made the choice to walk away from his infant daughter and move in with jen, he chose his mistress over his baby. Whatever way he paints it, he cannot overlook that. Marriages break up, I don't argue that, but al acts like it was a natural end to the marriage and he moved on afterwards. When really he was cheating for months and then when the grass got greener he packed and left. Hannah had no idea what was going on until that day. Imagine that, a first time mum, with a 5 week old baby and your husband turns around and says I'm off, I've got another woman. You'd be bleeping terrified.
The way jen and al act is like jen should have been involved in every isla moment for the second they got together. Even though that was when isla was 5 weeks old, and H was left on her own. Did they want H to role the red carpet out for jen and welcome her as islas new step mother.
The timeline of the events they talk about show me just how much this is about control. H was on her own with isla for two years before she met her husband, he became a part of her life a few months after. They got married and had a little boy a year into their marriage. Their little boy got to one/one and a half and started talking, he obviously called his dad, dad. Isla then at 6 years old, asked if she could call him dad too, as her brother did and he had been a father to her since she was around 3. So al and jens whole "isla has always called her step dad, dad" dig is all out of place. Isla was 6 by the time this happened. 6 years old. Not the narrative al and jen shout about. They act as if al moved in with jen, and then H moved her partner in, but there was years between all this. They cannot stand to have the narrative of H being a single mum, struggling on her own while jen and al were off having the time of their life.
I have no idea why jen has decided to do this now, especially as little isla is over there more often, they have openly saif themselves she stays every Thursday and every other weekend. I find it shocking jen feels the need to share all this so publicly, especially as H and her husband cannot have their say.
Jen you should be bleeping ashamed of yourself you lying, cheating, manipulating woman. You go on about trolls but you're the biggest one love, the way you treat H is beyond disgusting
