WATTS AT CENTRE OF TEXT SCANDAL
JACK Watts’ former fling has hit out at his “vindictive” exgirlfriend while describing the AFL player as “degrading”. The woman’s personal details were dumped online as cheating texts, allegedly from the Port Adelaide star’s phone, were made public. The woman, who says she didn’t know Watts was in a relationship during their short-lived affair, said her phone had been inundated with crude texts, calls and voicemails with some calling her “thirsty”, “hoe”, “hooker” and “prostitute” since the texts surfaced on social media.
“I have felt physically ill when I have looked at my phone in the last 36 hours and have seen the calls/messages/ voicemails,” she said. “I am gripped with fear that colleagues and clients may recognise my number as being associated with this.”
The woman who found herself caught up in the latest footy scandal told the Herald Sun she felt for Watts’ ex-girlfriend, but she had taken things a step too far.
“I am somewhat empathetic toward (her) situation, not that I even knew of her existence during my encounters with him,” she said. “I will not have my character slandered in the court of public opinion, as part of her vindictive game to get back at him.”
Port Adelaide and the AFL are staying tight-lipped about the case, with the club even questioning the authenticity of the texts. There were about 20 screenshots of racy text messages in Watts’ iCloud.
It is believed his angry exgirlfriend unleashed them.
The screengrabs revealed several sexually-charged text messages of how he tried to hide the multiple affairs, interactions with strippers, organising sex catchups with at least four women and alluding to illicit drug taking.
Watts’ ex-lover blocked the player from her phone and soc cial al media after he “cruelly publicly insulted my appearance” at a nightclub.
“I was incredibly distraught following my interaction with him that night, and having to relive it all over again has been overwhelming,” she said. “To this day, he remains blocked.”
She said she rejected advice to make a complaint about his “disrespect toward women”.
“I did not report him as I am not a vengeful person,” she said. “I am only speaking my truth now because having to relive this trauma, coupled with the public slander, has pushed me to the limit.”
The player and at least one of the women he was sleeping with, a model who had the most explicit texts, have threatened legal action, claiming the texts were stolen.
