Coleen Nolan responded to claims made by her son’s former girlfriend, labeling her a ‘cruel bully’. The ex-girlfriend, Emma Kivell, accused the Loose Women star of using derogatory language towards her. Emma and Coleen’s son, Shane, became acquainted in 2015 and later had a child together named Amelia-Rose. Despite not being in a romantic relationship, Shane had committed to supporting Emma as a single mother after their daughter’s birth, with Coleen present during the delivery.
However, Emma asserted that over time, Coleen’s attitude changed, leading to a strained relationship. Emma alleged that Coleen distanced herself from Amelia-Rose because she was unwilling to visit Emma’s residence. Emma claimed that this situation took a toll on her mental health, stating that Coleen would insult her and exhibit unpleasant behavior.
In response to these accusations, a spokesperson for Coleen vehemently denied the claims, labeling them as inaccurate and lacking context. The spokesperson emphasized that such private family matters should not be publicized, especially when a child is involved.
This conflict escalated further, with Emma criticizing Shane for allegedly not being actively involved in their daughter’s life. Emma contended that Shane had neglected his responsibilities, leading to court interventions regarding child support and visitation rights. Emma also expressed dissatisfaction with the Nolan family’s behavior, referring to it as toxic and petty.
Despite the family discord, Shane Jr. entered a new relationship with Kimberley Sallis, with whom he welcomed a son. Coleen shared her excitement about becoming a grandmother again as her children expanded their families. The family dynamics were further complicated by Shane Jr.’s marriage and subsequent separation from Miss Great Britain, Maddie Wahdan, following reports of infidelity.
Through these personal challenges, the Nolan family continued to navigate complex relationships and changing dynamics, with Coleen embracing her expanding role as a grandmother.
