"Ignore the haters" - Stuart Hogg instagram post labelled 'insensitive' by followers
Rugby NewsTuesday, 02 January 2024 at 14:17
Stuart Hogg has been branded 'insensitive' for a new year's day post alongside his new girlfriend Leonna Mayor following his shock split from his wife.
The relationship only became public last month after after Hogg’s wife of seven years, Gillian, gave birth to their daughter, Phoebe Anne. The timing of these events is reported to have left Gillian heartbroken.
Hogg wrote on Instagram: "Starting the New Year with the best 😍🏇🏼"
In response, one fan wrote: "Totally distasteful. Shame on you and your tart."
A second commented: "To post this on your sons birthday!"
However, a number of followers also came out in support of the former Scotland captain.
One fan wrote: "I’m so so shocked by these awful comments. It really makes me sad that this is the society we are raising children in. Social media has so much to answer for. If you don’t like someone, don’t follow them - it’s really that simple. Making derogatory and personal comments about a man, I suspect most of you don’t actually know, is appalling!"
A second commented: "Fantastic. Never mind the haters... as long as you're happy man. Happy New Year, and congrats on the NY Honours, both looking fabulous."
Another said: "gnore the negativity you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. I am sure you are doing what is right for everyone."

#1. Danny Cipriani
Danny had previously shared details with The Sun about his sexual experiences and his two-year relationship with Kelly Brook, who famously referred to him as a "car crash."
During their relationship, the model and TV star punched Danny in the face and ended their connection when he gave his phone number to a Las Vegas stripper.
They wrote: "He has been involved with a string of stars, from Katie Price and Lindsay Lohan to Cheeky Girl Monica Irimia.
"It seemed he had finally settled down when he married Victoria Rose in April 2021.
"However, earlier this week, they announced they had split after two and a half years of marriage after Victoria reportedly “saw messages on his phone”."
#2. Stuart Hogg
They wrote: 'Stuart Hogg, 31, enjoyed a spa weekend with the “world’s sexiest jockey” Leonna Mayor – just days after his ex-wife Gillian Hogg gave birth to their fourth child."
#3. James Haskell
Haskell and Chloe ended their five-year marriage in September, just 13 months after welcoming their daughter Bodhi.
While they officially announced their separation last month, the couple initially intended to wait until the conclusion of their ITV reality show, "Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair."
They wrote: "James was spotted chatting with a mystery blonde, who turned out to be PR director Martine Bridge. Viewers also spotted cracks in their relationship on the programme."
"In one episode, Chloe fumed at James for posting pictures with “girls in thongs”."
She said: “I was like, ‘I will kill you’. He posted videos of him with loads of girls in thongs having the best time ever because he thinks that it makes him look cool on social media.”
#4. Ben Foden
The former England fullback split split with wife Una Healy in 2018 after six years of marriage – with him later confessing that he cheated on The Saturdays singer.
They wrote: "A year later, Foden married new partner Jackie Belanoff Smith after just two weeks of dating – and on the day his divorce from Una was finalised."
#5. Joe Westerman
The rugby league ace split from wife Lauren earlier this year after an X-rated video of him performing a sex act on a married woman in an alley outside a branch of Greggs went viral.
They wrote: "The 34-year-old Castleford Tigers player had been on a 15-hour booze bender when he was captured with his trousers and pants around his ankles.
"The loose forward was hit with a substantial fine as a result of an internal club investigation."

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
