How is pouring a drink on your partner during an argument any more the publics business than this?

Personally I think the fans deserve to know Cartwright is an utter piece of shit....
Edwards was a criminal case which makes it public interest. Cartwrights is an agreement between 2 people. Unless there's a complaint from other party then it's not public interest. That said there doesn't appear to be a confidentiality agreement on that, so suck shit Cartwright

Call me niave or old fashioned but if i were to rank this incident where a multi million dollar club acted to influence a woman to terminate the life of one of its star players "mistakes". Then on a scale of bringing the game into disrepute, my ranking would be off the scale. Im sure women reading this article would be very impressed with Penriths alleged actions.

Bryce incident sounds like a couple of horny young 20ylds from the burbs having an accidental pregnancy. And Bryce not ready to be a father.Made it known to her.

Garbage. If this is true Cartwright and by extension the Panthers people who helped him have acted in a way that is absolutely morally repugnant, far more so than pouring a drink on someone. He deserves to be smeared all over the papers and deserves to be known as the piece of shit he is

Not defending anyone, condoning abortion, a woman's choice or whatever anyone wants to throw at me.

She got pregnant after a relationship
He shrugged and said you're on your own
She published revenge porn and threatened to go dirtier unless he did what she said.
He had his preference regarding the pregnancy
She had hers, but apparently sided with him after a while
By negotiation it seems that financial compensation was offered.
She elected to go down the route of appointing lawyers so that she could seek independent legal advice
Her lawyer drew up the contract
After the fact it seems that she was not happy with the deal or him and she published everything texts etc.

It's a horrible situation but both should know better than to throw their dirty laundry around in the papers.

IMHO it's not news. If it is, then it is not front page news and belongs in the Kyle and Jackie O gossip pages.

Comparing all this with two players who have been charged with DV is apples and oranges.

I didn't say anything about you condoning whatever, for the record

It's news because he is a public figure and he is expected to act in a certain way in both that capacity and as a so called decent member of society. Perhaps it doesn't deserve such a massive piece but honestly this is, IMO, far worse than what Kenny Edwards did so on the scandal scale it warrants more air time...has he committed a crime? Maybe, maybe not, we'll have to see....but just because its not illegal doesn't make it off limits IMO

Edit-I'll also add that people talked about Edwards DV issue being a potential piece of a pattern of control....well, what the hell is forcing a woman to hav an abortion??

The revenge porn issue was his other girlfriend at the time Gronk.

To be fair Kenny got punished or the severity of the punishment was for his past misdemeanors. So it's not right to suggest that Kenny has been treated harshly for just throwing a glass of water over his GF. The glass of water was the straw that broke the camels back.

“This history has been continually emphasised in discussions with the NRL; the NRL had, following the 2015 incident, warned Kenny that, as a repeat offender, he would be looking at possible deregistration by the NRL if he committed any further conduct that brought the game into disrepute.

I'm not talking about the severity of KEs punishment. You said they weren't comparable incidents, I believe attempting to force a woman to have an abortion is absolutely a domestic violence issue

you can't force her and it's not DV or even comparable

nobody gives two f**ks when a woman wants an abortion and the guy doesn't

the man is always in a no win situation when it comes to these situations

The choice of life that they both had to endure is obviously tough. However it's pretty clear that she did not make a rash decision. She appointed a lawyer to draw up the contract and then (after I assume a few days) executed it before her legal representative.

Accordingly she was not coerced or deceived and can never claim to be. Her lawyer would have ensured that she was comfortable with the deal before execution, believe me.

Of course she was coerced ffs. She's in her early 20s, probably tremendously lost about what to do and she was offered offered more money than she probably makes in a year at that age...how on earth do you figure she wasn't coerced?
