You choose to believe a vindictive estranged mother in law which her own family have brought harrasment charges against and the gutter press which is full of inaccuracies about Kristina and Ben . You have no idea of the truth . Shame you can't judge (and get involved in by tweeting the Mother in law )Kristina on her talent and the good she does rather than her personal life .

It is awful when people grow apart and a marriage fails. When it happens and you are at the mercy of the British press, even worse. People should be allowed to move forward with their lives without inaccurate lies and speculation.

It's rather a sweeping statement about Russian women!? I'd never use such a broad brush to cover everyone like that, we are all individual, including Russians. Although I do agree about Vincent, I can never in a million years understand the appeal, but then I can't stand sprouts and others love them!

The blatant sexist bias towards Kristina is awful. The BBC press office should be ashamed of their actions too. Allowing such a firestorm of bullshit and lies and yet doing nothing. They are as guilty as the British press. The Siberian Siren panto characterisation gets them a lot of front pages and they exploit it, regardless of the personal price for Kristina. Shameful.

If Ben's marriage was over 'way before' he was on the show - Why did he readily allow a happy family/marriage/husband image of himself to be used in the strictly VTs? Why did his wife attend some of the shows in support of her husband? And didn't he himself talk about how much his family meant to him?

Just to put my side yes I did tweet Felicity and I still stand by what I said I do not think that Ben should take 68 year old woman to court I like you no nothing about what went on just because you are one of the strictly girls who no every thing and people are not aloud their own opinion for many years I have been a big fan of Kristina and have always stuck up for her on this site and took a lot of abuse for it.I felt for her when people called her and she wonted to quit the show and I no that always the woman gets the blame I no because I have been there but I will say what I wont I also sent a tweet to Abby when she was so down and wish her all the best as I would anybody what ever has gone on with Felicity and her family I feel sorry for I do not take sides I just see a grandmother fighting in court and I think it is wrong no I think in the past Felicity should have kept quite but that is up to her this is all that I am going to say on the matter you may wont to entertain people on here I do not I have given my opinion end of get over it

Sorry - no offence intended, but that is 1 heck of a long sentence! Lack of punctuation makes it really hard to read.

Her son also and other members of family have taken her to court, doesn't that tell you something at the level of abuse this woman has inflicted on the family for many years. Kristina is just being used as a scapegoat for her currently with the press. Her harrasment runs deep .I find it odd that a so called supporter of Kristina shows support to a nasty vile woman regardless of her age that has caused so much pain and hurt to Kristina and her family .

I gave up half way through - totally unintelligible.

I'm not being funny but some of the stuff that's been said/ alleged on this thread about Ben's mother in law by Kristina supporters is just as bad as some of the stuff said about Kristina by her detractors......the charges by Ben for 'harassment' have been dropped......yes she's using the media to let off steam about Kristina and Ben which is probably the worst thing she can do in an already fraught situation....but at the end of the day I think she's very upset for her daughter and grandchildren.

I feel for Kristina, but unfortunately, when you sell aspects of your life to the media, you do become 'fair game' in their eyes. You can't do photo spreads about your love life in Hello!, OK!, etc, then complain when the tabloids decide to write about your love life.

The 'being driven to the brink of suicide' thing, I have my doubts about. It smacks of Drama Queenery on Kristina's part. It wasn't enough to say she was upset by what was written about her - she had to ratchet up the level of drama by claiming she was suicidal, and blame others for driving her to that point.

The media have been ridiculous, but Kristina isn't exactly helping the situation.

Unfortunately her daughter and grandchildren are going to have to read all of this that she's putting out there.

I agree - and what with the Internet and Google all the stuff is easy to access.....it'll be hurtful especially for the children if they come across any the articles about this whole thing, but I still maintain my opinion that Ben made the situation worse by deciding to press charges against his mother in law in the first place.

Just to add, I think Ben's mother in law is spouting off to the media because she wants to give her side of the story after charges against her were dropped - I didn't say what she was doing was right.....but can understand since she feels aggrieved for her daughter and grandchildren and angry about the charges brought against her - unfortunately sometimes when people react out of hurt and anger, they don't always think rationally and about the long term consequences of their actions.

I fel bad for Ktistina, no one deserves to be harassed online or offline.

Once you open up to the media about your relationships, you do open the door for them to look for more, or for people to sell stories about you, true or not. It's not right but that's how it works. If you don't sell your private life to them, you can say that you never talk about it in the media. But if you give anything on paid interviews about it, you loose the right. And professional interviews are a completely different thing IMO, everyone in the entertainment industry has to to promo and give interviews about the job they do.

The facts remain, his ex Mother in Law has been served harassment papers by other members of her family too. It is sad that the case did not go ahead so the full extent of this womans activities would be given attention. The same attention to the misinformation she spreads. The extent of her activities were vile, emailing seriously ill people, approaching strangers via social media to spread her venom. Having personally gone through a harassment case and rape case, it doesn't take much for the court to throw out a case. Upsetting for those who want to expose the truth.

The press, like the BBC Press office, has it's own agenda as to what they print, how they present a story.

To present this woman as a victim or being bullied by her family is beyond ridiculous. If I invited someone to stay at my home, while they got over a personal upset, and they then used it to entertain a succession of guys I'd throw them out. Does that make me a bully?

If she had kept quiet and allowed all involved to adjust to the situation in private it would have been best for all, esp the children. Instead she continues to pursue a vendetta based on her own past rejections.

One day the full extent of her activities will be in the public domain; this wasn't a one off. It has been an on going campaign. Not just a one off done in a moment of upset and anger. She knew the consequences, she has history. What is so awful is the British press exploited her, fed her obsession, with no concern whatsoever for the impact on her or the people she was targeting. I hope she now gets help to break this cycle of behaviour.

You seem to present a lot of your opinions and speculation as 'fact'. Do you have any sources/ proof for the stuff you've posted about Ben's mother in law?

I stand by my opinion that things you've said on here about Felicity are just as bad as some of the nasty stuff said about Kristina.

Oh and it's funny that you didn't answer my question I asked you earlier in the thread about why you think that Ben's marriage was 'over' 'way before' strictly had started when he was still presenting a happily married image of himself on strictly and the media in general.

Interesting, but I think there are many exceptions to that stereotype. eg Pasha falling for the beautiful, feminine and intelligent Rachel - even if she couldn't dance!
Also take Ekaterina Gordeeva, petite, delicate, more like an English rose than the typical hourglass figured Russian woman you described, and Ilya Kulik fell in love with her. (For those who don't recognise the names - Figure Skating legends and Olympic Champions.)

I think it's more a case of personal taste and who you meet, and Vincent is not really big and muscle bound.

She also dated Corky Ballas, who looks a bit like one of the Osmonds fell under the sofa. I'm sure Kristina isn't just drawn to raw beefcake masculinty.

It helps the press quite a lot that Kristina dances like a tigress on heat.

pfftth, I spy with my little eye someone who's been knocking around the U S and A by the sound of it. The UK has its own relevant criminal law from 1997.
One member, all their posts in one thread.

She did.
