Not a great tabloid reader either but this isn't just a tittle tattle story about a couple splitting up anyway. It is a story where a guy has been accused of domestic abuse. Actual physical assault as well as seemingly further charges of misdemeanor, charges of terrorizing, criminal threatening behaviour, criminal restraint, criminal mischief and obstructing the reporting of a crime. The story made the main media and not just the celeb magazines etc. He has of course as yet not yet been found guilty of anything.

Again my point though was that the idea that domestic abuse is only the business of the abuser and the person being abused is wrong. That is an attitude from another century.
