Just because John doesn't like doing premiers, reality tv shows, mag articles doesn't mean he can't do adverts, modelling or djing.
He is accused of being lazy and having no focus career wise what is wrong with these options. Adverts and modelling are to promote products not themselves.
I hope that all these rumours etc will not jeopardise his opporunities and any work he has coming up.
When will he be allowed to get on with his life without being expected to keep Josie informed?
Is he not allowed to set foot in uk without josie's ok?
What has he done wrong? He is single and if he has asked his friends to keep things quiet they wouldn't be good friends if they didn't.
Josie and her or friends seem to be able to make insinuations about anything to do with John and get away with it.
If he is back he will probably be following instructions on what he should do from an agent or hirer of his services.
Josie seems to have used every little bit of info on him to promote publicity for herself.
They were not married or engaged and only lived together for 8 months isn't it therefore perfectly normal for him to move on and not have to consider Josie.
Also with all the comments been made about him particularly from the Josie camp ie hankies, closet gay, not enough sex, could do with learning a few moves in the bedroom, I think he will have a girlfriend as he moves on quickly, selling stories on you, lied about you why would he feel that he needs to consider josie's feelings because she had not considered his.
Josie can be guilty and always defended as being innocent John is always guilty based on little evidence or sound reasoning.
I think Josie is bringing all this on herself with her silly tweets and lack of respect and contradictory stories in the press.
You can't help feel that she is positioning herself for the victim but I'll bounce back image for her tv appearances next week.
We have seen Josie openly flirt with mat on tv but John hasn't done anything public and he is slated for it.
I would think anyone would think twice about having a relationship with Josie now they know what they could be in store for if they split.
Maybe John feels he has pretty much let Josie have free reign in the press in the lead up to her programme and that he has therefore done enough and should be free to move on in whatever way he chooses.”
Absolutely spot on jjjfinny. Terrific post and I couldn't agree more. I think John has more than paid his dues to Josie - paying for the flat etc etc. I get so annoyed when I see Josie's FF butting in and making nasty tweets. They weren't in the relationship, they only heard one side. Surely they don't think they are doing any good involved - or do they?
John and his friends have kept quiet. As you say, they haven't commented on the tacky magazine articles, they haven't responded largely to the nasty tweets about John's sexuality. John and Josie lived together but it didn't work. Finished.
If John is over here and working good for him. As you say, he can build a media career without having to go to premieres, nightclubs and staged parties and without doing tacky photoshoots. He can do what he wants with no obligation.
Despite what some may think, I believe John truly loved Josie, he may still love her, but he cannot live with her. She has too much baggage. He does too, but I think he can deal with his a bit more easily as he has a good support network. John doesn't need to be accountable to Josie anymore. He is single. Whether he now has a girlfriend, who knows? It is up to him whether to tell us or not - and why not? Both Josie and John acknowledge the relationship is over. So we wait to find out what is happening.
I don't believe the relationship before Xmas was fake
and despite what it may seem, it does take two to love and live and break up and live.
