We hate to post this so soon after Jack E. Jett’s stellar addition in The Totally Frightful Issue, but it’s really too good to sit on: a 45-year old British woman named Fiona Marsden has already lost her husband, her license, £100, and may also lose her job after beating her husband.
Why did Ms. Marsden lose her shit? Well, it seems that she had come home early one day to find him “performing an act” for a webcame, Manchester Evening News reports. Shocked, appalled, and probably more than a little embarrassed, Ms. Marsden did what any good woman would do: she drove to the pub, downed a few vodka’s straight, got back in her car, crashed it a few times, and then proceeded to beat her husband with her purse and fists. (His penis was a primary target, to be sure.)
At the hearing, Marsden’s lawyer insisted Marsden had mixed too much booze with too many pills, thus preventing her from remembering anything that happened after leaving the bar. Wht’s more: “The humiliation and shock of finding out her husband was gay in the manner in which she did was enormous…”
Apparently an empathetic woman, “Magistrate Marie Brinicombe conditionally discharged Marsden, due to ‘exceptional mitigating circumstances’.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
As mentioned before, she’s had her driver’s license revoked and owes her ex £100, while her occupational future hangs in limbo.
So, what’s the job she may lose for her violent outburst? She’s a social worker….
(Oh, the hubby’s still with the webcam lover. Heart warming.)

Can anyone really blame her. Too bad she needed to throw back a few vodka’s first/ hope she overcomes this loser. He should havr taken his video “games” elsewhere/

“Can anyone really blame her?”
Well Denis let me ask you this; if it were the other way around and he caught her at the computer and beat her with his fists, would you say the same thing? Do you not think that a woman can do damage to a man by punching him?

I’m sorry, but did anyone read the article? She didn’t beat her husband, she beat a former judge at the scene of her car crash(es). Sheesh, you Americans and your hyperbole!
