If she wanted to keep the baby its worth more to her than the $50k she got.

Unless the kid wasn't Cartwrights. She might have been with other guys too. Only reason I could see for her to get the abortion is if she never really wanted the kid, or if she wasnt 100% certain who the father was.

Everyone knows they could get a fortune being knocked up by a guy with a bit of money.

Holy shit, I know you are a Pennies supporter, but seriously.

Ever had your children or yourself put in this situation?

They are both very young and emotions would have been high, they needed family support not a fixer.

Never mind the media, fans, etc

If I'd ever done something like this everyone outside of my mum would have been incidental damage. She'd have taken me to the cleaners. And you just have to cop it from your mother.

He has some growing up to do. Quick smart.

Players have to realise that they are public figures 24/7. Anything they do is probably going to end up in the press or on social.

Yeah this sort of stuff shouldn't be splashed across the papers, but Cartwright is quite clearly a grade A f**kwit

Well as far as I see it if she wanted the kid she could have kept it. No one can force her to abort it. Its her body and her decision to make.

She chose the $50k over the kid. The only logical reasons to do that are if you're not convinced he's the father (and cant get child support) or if she never wanted the kid to begin with.

Bryce Cartwright is a bit of a dick regardless of that. Im not trying to defend his actions. I just cant see a logical reason for her to abort the kid if she wanted to keep it and if he was the father. She couldnt possibly believe that it would be hard financially. If Bryce is the father he would be on the hook for a shitload of child support and she would be set.

Dude, you are delusional.

She is a young woman who fell pregnant when it was not planned. She would have been an emotional wreck, and the fact the young father told her he wanted zero to do with the baby if she had it would not have helped her emotional state.

As for a "bit of a dick" - drop the "bit of", he sounds like a real turd with no balls to man up.

Bryce has pretty much got what he deserved. He's been an absolute arsehole in his behaviour, basically forced this girl to get an abortion, and just thought that throwing a bit of cash at the situation will make it go away. The club is just as bad enabling this.

He got what he deserved.

Not surprised the majority of the knuckledraggers in here blame the girl...

Tell me I'm wrong, she mayhave been bullied into the decision, maybe not, she may have accepted $50k reluctantly, maybe not. Where were her parents and friends helping her with the decision? If the baby menat so much why did she agree? Why cry to news ltd scum now?

No one is arguing Cartwright is a scumbag for his attitude but end of day she made her decision and now she wants it dragging through a scummy media outlet. Like I said, classy.

I don't buy the Telecrap, but does it say she approached them.

I don't know this young lady but to judge her decision or mental state is bloody outrageous.

She says she felt bullied, but I can't understand how. She could have told Lew Zivanovic to get lost and even gone to the cops if he was harassing her with text messages. But she signed the agreement, took the money and now has gone public.

Perhaps also this agreement should have been written and negotiated by lawyers, and should have included an agreement not to disclose any details. Very amateurish in that regard.

Cartwright has only himself to blame for the bad press he's now getting, and certainly badly needs to be much more choosy about the ladies he gets involved with, but the behaviour of this woman and the other one he was mixed up with also leaves plenty to be desired.

And I suspect the Penrith club might be forced to stand him down. The episode is now entering the realm of bringing the game into disrepute.

Dunno if its in here because I haven't read whole thread but 9 reported cartys new gf is saying the ex wanted 200k not 50k.

Would love to see the receipt of the 50k donated to charity (hopefully not to the human fund).
