Do the wives/husbands know of superinjunctions?

[flobadob]

There is a lot of talk lately of the superinjunctions being bought in court by celebs and sports stars to stop details of their cheating being made public. What I'm wondering is do you think that the wives/husbands of the celebs in question actually know that their spouse has taken the superinjunction out in the first place? Do you think these superinjunctions are being taken out to hide the affairs from their families as much as from the general public?

Jemimah Khan denied hers vehmently and siad that she had dined with the great and wonderful Mr C and his wife. Think that she (Mrs Clarky) must have the skin of an elephant to be married to the Jeremy.

Got a kind of a ring phonetically though, "Jeremy and Jeemimah" Puddle-Can

In some cases 'Yes' and in some 'No'.

Several of the Plaintiffs have had to 'fess up subsequently to suspicious spouses.

Interesting that only Jemimah Khan has issued a denial.....

There is so much sha**ing going on amongst celebs that in reality no one really cares anymore about fidelity !
Financial security seems to be more important than who is bonking whom.
'Love' does not seem to matter as Celebrities Q up for max exposure.
Farce !

I would think they would be taken out to protect the family and participants outside the family(and their family as well) from a highly publicized scandal. I don't know if a husband and wife would discuss one parent's indiscriminate relationships in great detail with their children but the press certainly does. I don't care who on the whos-who list does what to whom. Its tabloid reading for those that have too little to do and too little to do it with.

I guess it depends on the individual relationship. I would have thought that the whole point of a SI is to stop a spouse finding out - as well as the public, but some couples accept that either or both of them are non-exclusive, and that it really between the two of them.

ladybirder - Gabby Logan has issued vocifourous denials of a perceived relationship between herself and Alan Shearer. He should be so lucky!

If it is the case that the spouse doesn't know that their partner is taking out superinjunctions it just goes to show how little they know or care what is going on in their lives. As redman says it seems to be more about financial security than anything else.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

The newsapers reported that the footballers wife was suspicious and googled. She then challenged him and he had to confess. Probably kept quiet for the sake of the young children but most people seem to think they know who he is.

[ladybirder]

Didn't know about Gabby redman. So do we assume that if they fail to issue a vociferous denial then the allegation is true? If so, how do I get a story out there that I have been having a passionate affair with Antonio Banderas which I shall refuse to deny. Of course he might!

[Old_Geezer]

Not that surprising. If I were rumoured to be having an affair with Jemimah I'd be in no hurry to deny it :-)

I think these injunctions are debatable enough on their own, after all if the activity was sufficiently public to be known, what is the case for privacy ? But the so called super-injunctions, well they are just beyond the Pale. And then someone wants to be tipped off before a story is published in order to give them time to get their friends to issue one. Good grief !

As for spouses, well I guess it would depend. if the super-injunction was applied fast enough and they hadn't been sufficiently aware, maybe not. But I'd suspect this happens rarely. Must be difficult to hide that much from a spouse.

[Old_Geezer]

They should think of that before they opt to be indiscrete.

I imagine some know and some don't.

I once knew a solicitor who had embezzled quarter of a million quid from his employers. He was sacked, yet still went off to work every morning. His wife had NO IDEA that he had been sacked, nor less any idea that he was facing criminal charges. I imagine the conversation the morning of his sentencing hearing over breakfast was quite interesting since he knew he was looking at 4 years.....

i know of one to do with gordon ramsey....and his boyfriend (or flings, cant remeber which one) ... but his wife knows all about it...heard it from one of the staff working in the legal firm involved ...i guess she thought id have no-one to tell...(she doesnt actually care if it gets out)
