Kristina brings it on herself. She has a proven track record yet people still blindly defend her. Great role model she is.

Why does she have to be a role model?
Rachel Riley broke up with her husband straight after Strictly and (if luigy is correct) started dating Pasha soon after. I don't see Pasha being burned at the stake as a marriage wrecker.
I'm not defending Kristina, particularly - or wishing to slate Pasha - but the double standards are ridiculous.

She tries to make out she is that's why. And this is a thread about her and Ben which is why I didn't bring anyone else into it. Kristina has a history of this and people forget that.

Yes she is a grt role model who raised 93000£ for her children's charity this week and put endless hrs of hard work in.She works hard and financially supports her herself and family back home in Russia . Fact u choose to listen to insinuations with no fact in the gutter press is disappointing .

Charity doesn't erase loose morals, and most of those dancers are supporting their families financially. Many celebrities hide their unpleasant character behind charitable work and think they can behave however they like in other ways, because they know people will forgive them with ignorance and saying "But they do so much for charity".
Kristina's not a nice person. A fine dancer, but not nice away from the cameras.

I doubt Scott's partner will be too concerned.

Yeah, but Pasha is a man and seems so innocent and cute (to the ladies). It is kinda hilarious to read the spin on that story though (yeah, well, Rachel probably realised that she got married too soon or to mend an already broken relationship
).It would certainly make a great study subject. Mind you, as a man myself, I can't see the attraction of Kristina (perhaps bendy and all, but not that attractive in either looks or personality).

The photo I've seen doesn't exactly look like cosying up, I have to say.

Are u speaking from personal experience ? Whatever it is there are many that know her well and would totally disagree quite strongly .
Ben and his wife have split and also said no one else is involved, blaming Kristina is unfair .

Ben's wife angrily and vehemently denied any marriage issues in the papers 3 days ago, now look where we are.
You have Kristina up on a pedestal. You won't look at the big picture. There are many, many people who don't like her and don't gloss over her behaviour just because she's 'famous'. Just look at the daily mail comments if you want evidence of that.

Some people 'don't like her'..... she must be a harlot.
Are you citing the Daily Mail comments section as evidence of Kristina's misdemeanors or a source of misogynistic, ignorant, hate filled b@ll@cks?

We? We're still members of the audience for a tv show. We get to judge the dancing, the cossies, the whole flim-flam and daftness of SCD. I think that's the limit of fair comment.
Can't be doing with condemning anyone

Her conduct is what would insinuate her being a harlot. Vincent, Joe and now more than likely Ben. All men in or just out of relationships that she sunk her teeth into.
DM is no better or worse than here for that.

The men could have said no,especially as they were all in relationships

Citing the Daily Mail itself as evidence of anything smacks of desperation, but citing the Daily Mail comments as irrefutable evidence of someone's character is a whole different universe of desperation

Ah, the irony ~ mind, you're not wrong that there's a fair amount of misogynistic, ignorant, hate filled b@ll@cks on this forum all of a sudden, eh?
Did Kristina sleep with your dad or something? You do seem to have more than a passing interest in the past liaisons of someone who you presumably have no actual connection to.

Absolutely ~ I hate the lazy archetype that women, whether single or not, are always to blame in a relationship breakdown, even if they were the unattached party. The attached person has the responsibility towards their partner; it's not a universal female responsibility to prevent infidelity, as if all poor chaps are inherently incapable of stopping themselves falling onto another woman just because she was 'there'.

No the DM is not at all a valid resource for truth or fact but I didn't suggest that. I Simply used the comments section as one example of people's opinion on the matter. Not conclusive no but this isn't like the Scottish Referendum, I can't poll the entire country.
I'm a fan of Strictly that's all and I don't like the reputation she has been a big part of bringing to it.
No Ben (the man) isn't blameless in this, never said he was. He is just one of her indiscretions though.

I completely agree with that. No one held a gun to their heads and forced those men to get involved with Kristina; believe it or not, they're adults and are therefore responsible for their own actions.
Besides, apart from a couple of photographs of them on the tube, which only prove that Kristina and Ben remain friends after having been paired together on Strictly, there's no evidence at this time that Kristina is in any way involved in the break down of Ben's marriage.
Marriages and partnerships break up all the time. If a relationship is strong, spending a couple of months with a dance partner will not break it. Rachel and Pasha, for example. I'm sure I heard Rachel say in some interview, that her marriage was going through a bad time before her time in Strictly.
Whether Kristina has anything to do with Ben's marriage break up or not is probably speculation, but do know her reported "antics" after her break up with Corky Ballas is true.
BTW: I love the heading of this thread! Was that waltzed up the tree or chacha'd?

You never know, Ben Cohen and his wife may yet make things work between them, especially if they're left alone to work things out in private

Has Kristina got hypnotic nethers or something? One flash of a gusset and men loose control of their own body parts and she can do what she likes with them?
will Simon be training in a tinfoil hat?

Well if he can give up his fame whoring then maybe. Happens all the time when people get fame later in life, while a success at rugby this is his first mainstream experience of fame. Now he's ditched the wife for a more glamorous life.
