So what is Vincents excuse?
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/late...g-to-man-eater

That he's a shameless hypocrite who loves a bit of self-publicising ('I'm a celebrity' being a case in point, and the rather tacky interviews he did when he and Flavia split)?

Really? Yes I'm sure he was very desperate to have his name in the daily mirror despite living and working successfully in South Africa, and showing no signs of trying to forge a career in the UK. More likely the mirror was doing digging and contacted him for his opinion, I doubt highly that he sought them out.

Equally, each of those things you've said could well be levelled at kristina, this is the same woman who attends events wearing betting slip dresses and who I'm sure has given interviews to the daily mail etc about her personal life.

As it happens, despite the above, I like Kristina's dancing and think she is very, very talented. All I initially wanted to do was correct an inaccuracy.

Such a shameless hypocrite ! ... ....She was single .... He was in a relationship ... So the onus was on him to not stray.... Such a hypocrite ..... But what else can we expect from him ?

And you would be qualified to make that comparison, because......?

If he didn't want his name in the Mirror surely all he had to do was say nothing - instead, he's given comment on the perceived sexual rapaciousness of a woman he used to work with. In exchange for a fee.

Classy guy.

I wholeheartedly agree that Kristina is no stranger to courting the media herself, and to be honest I'm not especially a fan of her dancing, but there's quite the bandwagon going as far as painting her as a 'siren' goes, and the men lining up to hitch themselves to that bandwagon are not exactly covering themselves in glory.

He commented on her dancing style, not her actual loins, although I can see the tabloid editing to imply that. I do enjoy the use of rapaciousness in a comment though. I also doubt that for such a small article, he'd have a fee - but I'll admit to happily not knowing the inner ways of tabloids.

Anyway, obviously I do not know him as person. However, I do know that he is an undeniably brilliant dancer who has achieved more worldwide recognition in the dance world than kristina. Although I like Kristina's dancing, classy is also not the first word that comes to mind to describe her image, whether that's an unfortunate one she's ended up lumbered with or otherwise.

And I'm sick to death of those ridiculous homewrecker stories - and sick to death of people who constantly blame the woman when a man has an affair, or blame a woman (any vaguely connected woman) when a man's marriage breaks down. Have you been watching too much Downton Abbey? This is the 21st century, when you would have thought a man and a woman could smile at each other without people assuming they're jumping into bed with each other. What boundaries are you talking about? And how an earth do two people dance, say, a rumba, without the odd smouldering look. Why is it Kristina's job to 'protect the spouses from hurt'? What utter nonsense!

Disappointed in Vincent saying such things

I've been to Riga.

I agree - I really like Kristina.

Well maybe I'm just a jealous woman-hating woman but Kristina is trashy imo. And in the photo with Vincent in the article linked to she looked terrible (not the top picure but the one w/Vincent when you scroll down). I don't think the years will be kind to Kristina but hopefully she can find work coaching (soon). Bring back Katya to replace her!

Even if all this is true, it amazes me how this is laid at Kristina's door. It was the men who betrayed their partners. Nobody forced them into these trysts but they are made out to be the poor victims of the Siberian maneater. My heart bleeds for these poor men. If it wasn't so sad it would be comical.

Ben released a statement today confirming rumours are false and very unfair on Kristina .I find the whole attack on her quite sad .

....and you spent your evenings in the lap-dancing club(s)?

[quote=dmolyneaux@virg;74988525]
I'm glad about that, doubt it will stop the tabloids though they never seem to let the truth get in the way of a good story

I fully expect tomorrows headline to be "Ben proves his love by leaping to defence of Kristina."

I have been to lapdancing clubs, but to be honest Kristinas can be found in bars across the entire of Eastern Europe, you don't have to go to a club to find one.

Kristina also tweeted

@KRihanoff: To the British press, internet trolls & lowlife individuals who desperately sell stories-it's not ok to abuse,bully& push people to suicide

😢

Agreed.

But at the same time if the latest rumours are true, she does have some responsibility.

I've managed to live 30 years without any shenanigans with non-single men...

no, kristina is really not the sort of person you can find in any bar, or street corner, or whatever else you would like to insinuate about her.

She's a world class latin dancer who is one of the stand out stars of perhaps the biggest entertainment show on uk tv.

Like her or not, she's certainly not ms average.

She's a competent dancer, her choreography's good, her looks are fairly average.

There are more intelligent or talented women in the world than Kristina.

Oh sure.

And there are much more unpleasant people too.

Downton
It's called female intuition I guess.... I haven't slated K, just said she could be more careful, but it's not her duty to you're right. Would have been kind and respectful though. She was all over him, staring wistfully...it wasn't a smile n a high five. Then being in public witH his arm round her soon after the marriage breakdown was not a nice thing for either of them to do, his wife must have been gutted, it was lazy and thoughtless at the least.
This isn't a thread about Ben!
If i was a dancer id be very aware of the wife watching, would keep the relationship extremely professional And vastly play down the 'chemistry' act, and certainly never act on it. Then having said that in real life I barely even look my friends' boyfriends in the eye - ott maybe but I don't want my friends to get the slightest idea that I might pose any threat whatsoever. I've been burned in the past by friends guys coming onto me, was extremely unwanted, awkward, killed friendships and so im just extra sensitive to these things maybe... Also I like to treat people the way I'd want to be treated.
