I think cheating is awful, but I really don’t think it was Sarah’s place to talk about a relationship she wasn’t part of. I get that it’s annoying to have people calling her names and saying she played a part in the demise of Jim’s marriage, but that would be easily solved by simply adding a few words to the blocked wordfilter (e.g. Tanya, Tan, homewrecker, cheater)
Wouldn’t she save herself from this misery by doing that? Or by not reading every dm? It’s almost like she wants this drama so she can victimise herself. Jim was with Tanya from the time they were in school and were both integral parts of each other’s brands. I’m honestly shocked that Sarah is shocked by the hate she’s getting from unhinged fans of Jim and Tanya. It’s not pleasant but it’s to be expected? Look at all the deranged Selena and Justin Bieber fans who bombard Hailey Bieber with hate. It’s ridiculous and wrong, but you’ve got to have thick skin to be in the public eye, especially when your current partner was previously part of a much-loved duo??
A simple statement would’ve sufficed, I think, without having to ‘out’ Tanya’s indiscretions and redirect hate to her.
“Jim’s marriage had ended and he and his ex-wife were separated by the time I met him. I was not ‘the other woman’ and Jim did not commit infidelity. I will not entertain trolls and will be blocking anyone who continues spinning this false narrative.”
As an emotionally mature adult, I totally agree. But to be fair, Sarah and Jim did try that approach. I’ve seen numerous posts from both of them saying they did not cheat, Sarah met Jim after the divorce, they’re going to block and call out haters, etc. None of it has worked. I still don’t think this was the right approach though because now she’s just thrust weirdo fans onto another woman’s comment section. Cheating, while morally reprehensible, doesn't mean anyone should be subject to verbal abuse or public humiliation.
I think Sarah and Jim both feel very bitter about the constant accusations, knowing that Jim was the “wronged” party in actuality, and they’ve lost the capacity to care whether Tanya now gets the heat.
It’s totally out of frustration with Tanya for never speaking up and defending them. Jim wanted this from her and he’s said so publicly. Maybe he asked her countless times and she refused to do it. They did talk the week before Jim proposed to Sarah, according to Jim. Tanya could have had lots of reasons not to though. Like, she never posts personal stuff unless it’s her boyfriend’s hairy arm wrapped around her waist, buried in a photo dump. She thinks she’s an actress and entrepreneur and posting personal stuff is beneath her. Or it’s the fact that Jim could’ve been a
crappy partner and even if she cheated she didn’t feel the need to come out and defend him. Or she didn’t want to redirect any psycho fans her way to start accusing her of something that she might have done. Lots of reasons to remain silent.
A quick insta story just saying “Hi all, please don’t send hate anyone’s way. Everyone has moved on and we all have great respect for one another and and we are very happy” could have gone a long way though. She never did anything to imply Jim was a villain but she also never did anything to deny it, knowing what vile stuff was being flung his way. Maybe she got it just as bad but never complained so we don’t know.
Either way it’s a whole mess. If anyone was going to out this news though, it should not have been Sarah. Jim should have had the balls to say it himself. Sarah said it herself, she was not there and did not know Jim at the time. She doesn’t know what really happened, only Jim’s account of it. If Jim wanted to protect his daughter and his partner he shouldn’t have let Sarah do it like a lackey. This was on him to reveal because the wrong was supposedly done TO him. What a spineless move to get his baby’s mother to out the big secret he’s had on the tip of his tongue for the last few years.
they literally get like 3 comments on every Authored post
I’m amazed she still has money coming in to be honest
although even after this massive reveal, there were still very few comments on Tanya’s account (before she deleted them all)
