Helen Flanagan has criticized online harassers in response to her dispute with Scott Sinclair. The 35-year-old, who is a mother of three, made headlines recently when it was revealed that her former partner, a 36-year-old footballer, had allegedly compelled her to vacate their home, which is under Scott’s ownership. Sources suggest that the ex-Swansea City player is pushing for Helen to move to a smaller residence, but insiders claim that the actress, known for her role as Rosie Webster, is not willing to comply quietly.
Even though the couple has three children together – Matilda, aged 10, Delilah, aged seven, and four-year-old son Charlie – their relationship is strained, and they are reportedly not communicating directly. Instead, any exchanges are said to be going through their respective family members.
In the wake of the recent conflict, Helen has condemned her followers for persistently messaging her about Scott and took to social media to request that they desist. In a video shared from her car, dressed in a pink fluffy cardigan, she expressed, “I’ve been getting messages as well, quite a lot of DMs about the whereabouts of the father of my kids. Please, I really don’t care. No one needs to DM me and tell me his personal business. I’m spared of that now. You really don’t need to DM me anything, please I’d rather not.” Helen chuckled as she reiterated, “please don’t… wow.”
Helen, who previously rebuked Scott in December for missing their son’s nativity play while on vacation, has been cautioned that their ongoing confrontation “could escalate further” following the latest developments between the former partners.
According to a psychotherapy specialist, the escalating tension between Helen and Scott may become the “new normal” if they do not seek professional help. Marygrace Anderson, a psychotherapist and certified hypnotherapist, as well as the founder of MG Hypnosis, raised concerns about the breakdown in communication between the couple, emphasizing that the situation indicates a significant strain in their relationship.
“The concern psychologically is that if this dynamic continues, it risks becoming increasingly the new normal,” Anderson explained. She further noted that the current conflict surrounding the property disagreement likely extends beyond just the physical house itself. The therapist highlighted that, for Helen, the home may symbolize stability, routine, family support, and continuity for their children, particularly given their young age. Conversely, from Scott’s perspective, the house may pose financial challenges or be necessary to sell for future financial plans, resulting in both parties feeling trapped and unheard.
