I feel for the guy, and bet that he rues the day he got involved with 'that woman'.
Whether he did or didn't do BadThings to her, they came to an arrangement to settle the matter and she has reneged on her part.

Don't we just love idol worship?

**Skunk** · 18th August 2008, 12:59

I didn't think she had said anything before it came out. I could be wrong.

Idol worship, never from me - they're just people. Some lucky, some talented. TV is full of talentless ones.

She hadn't, and she kept her mouth shut for quite awhile too. I suspect the 50 and/or anti domestic violence groups may have pressured her into making a complaint.

While part of me wants to feel sorry for Mr Veitch having forked over 150k in hush money and thinking he'd gotten away with it until now, I find it very hard to feel sorry for anyone who beats a woman to the ground, then kicks her repeatedly hard enough to break her back in 4 places. I hope he goes to jail, I really do.

I just hope the truth comes out about the incident now.Fat bloody chance though really.

**jrandom** · 18th August 2008, 13:39

I have little doubt that the Dunne-Powell woman is a manipulative bitch and that Mr Veitch is an egotistical cunt with no self-control.

And I utterly fail to see why I should give a fuck about either of them.

I suppose we can really just be thankful that nothing truly awful is happening to fill the headlines, and that this pap is all there is to skim over.

Long may this remain a country of sufficient peace and prosperity to allow folk the leisure to concern themselves with such nonsense.

Fuck him.

If I gave my Lady the smack down I'd expect the system to nail me, No matter what the reasoning.

The piper must be paid.

**scumdog** · 18th August 2008, 14:22

I wonder if he will ask for the $150K back?

I wonder if I really care?

**kiwifruit** · 18th August 2008, 14:49

Who fucking cares

**yod** · 18th August 2008, 15:01

I'm just glad he's off the box and the radio

he annoyed the shit outta me

**forkoil** · 18th August 2008, 15:08

Trial by media. Now watch the cops lose this one. Back broke falling down the stairs.

Other than domestic violence as a general issue (which I feel quite strongly about)... I don't. Their lives, their business. It sells papers helps their transition from news papers to gutter press.

And what's more I won't join in any discussions on the matter...

Have to agree on this 1 , even tho he did wrong they had come to a legal agreement . But there is always 2 sides to every story
