David Haye is facing backlash for his recent behavior and comments during his time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle. Despite this, a person close to him has shed light on the real David Haye.
His former partner Zoe Gregory has shared insights into her past relationship with the retired boxing champion. Zoe was quick to defend Haye after his controversial “ugly birds” remark.
In a surprising statement, the 45-year-old referred to his current partner, Sian Osborne, as possessing the personality traits of an “ugly” woman. He elaborated by explaining that although Sian is physically attractive, she exemplifies the qualities he associates with “ugly girls” who work harder to develop a strong personality.
Zoe, who met David at the Playboy mansion in 2003, supported his viewpoint, stating that individuals often judge others based on appearances. She related her own experiences, highlighting misconceptions about blondes being perceived as bimbos due to stereotypes.
Additionally, Sian, 33, defended Haye’s remarks, interpreting them as a compliment towards her vibrant personality that transcends physical beauty. She expressed disappointment in people seeking offense over his words.
Sian also shared her past experiences of being bullied for her appearance, particularly her height. She criticized those urging her to take offense, arguing that true feminism empowers women to make their own choices without external influence.
In another incident, David faced criticism in the I’m A Celebrity camp for pressuring fellow contestant Adam Thomas into participating in a challenge despite Thomas expressing reluctance.
