Peter 'pathetic' Hook has written a book and he mentioned how he was bullied/beaten by his wife Caroline Aherne ......GOOD!
what a complete pathetic coward...no wonder New Order kicked him out of the band...
First of all, I read that he was a victim of domestic violence. Everyone loved Caroline, but that's not to say that what he said about her wasn't true - or was it?
She supposedly attacked him with knives, bottles and lighted cigarettes. If it's true, then it goes some way to explaining about Peter's depression. Men don't like to admit that women can physically beat them up, but domestic violence is never acceptable, whoever causes it.
He was married to her for 3 years, 19 years ago. If he'd said something then, when Caroline was still around, it could've had a knock-back effect on her career. What would people've thought of her? IF it's true, then I think he did well to keep quiet, but then again, it's not something you'd want to spout off about, is it?
God bless Caroline , she had real talent and her memory deserves to be respected...
not some guttersnipe come crawling out of the wood work casting cowardly aspersions...
Don't get on your high horse, Arch. No one knows what the truth of the matter is. I still think that one of the funniest quips Caroline came out with, was as Mrs. Merton, when she asked Debbie McGee: "So what attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?" Mwhahahaha!!!!!
I think that was her crowning glory, because the only times I've seen her as Mrs. Merton WERE on TV, during the 90's, and there were write-ups galore about that particular joke. Paul Daniels took a mardy, and commented afterwards that when he first met Debbie, he wasn't a millionaire. Mwhahahaha!!!!!!!! It just made things funnier.
Whatever, Caroline had some talent, and I think she was quite likeable, but we never knew her personally, so although she's a loss to the entertainment world, that's about it, really .....
