Home of the Daily and Sunday Express. Ryan Giggs ‘blackmail’ video shown in court and Valentine’s Day card read outRYAN GIGGS’ trial entered its third day today, with the ex-Manchester United star denying all charges. Ryan Giggs has denied threatening to send intimate videos of his ex to her work colleagues as his alleged blackmail video was shown in court. The 48-year-old former Wales manager is on valentine’s day box for her at Manchester Crown Court accused of controlling behaviour towards Ms Greville between 2017 and 2020.
He is also accused of headbutting her during a row at their home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, and elbowing her sister Emma Greville in the jaw in November 2020. Giggs, who denies all charges, won 64 caps for Wales and 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups during his time at Manchester United. He is also a co-owner of League Two side Salford City. Ms Greville was also taken through evidence she gave yesterday about Giggs assaulting her on several occasions during their relationship. During a holiday in Dubai, she alleged Giggs grabbed her by the wrist and threw her outside a hotel room naked with all of her belongings. Ps my sex bruise is coming along nicely too! She also told a friend it had been caused by rough sex, the court heard.
Because I was embarrassed and I didn’t want to admit it. The idea of it being a sex bruise is just a ruse you made up is ridiculous, isn’t it? The truth is from time to time you did get bruises from sex. This is just six weeks after you say he was threatening to blackmail with sex tapes and you send him a number of such videos.
Because we were back in a relationship. I thought he had changed and was in a different place. He promised the world and I thought we were in a good place. Three years ago I didn’t think it was possible to be more proud of you as I was, well you proved me wrong. You’re my inspiration, my drive, you rock my world and I love you so much. You were aware it was a tricky navigation for him, his children’s willingness to accept you, not least because his teenage daughter found out you and Mr Giggs had been seeing each other for three years.
I didn’t know there was this issue before. The court heard the pair had also rowed about Giggs’ children at a restaurant in Dubai when Giggs was messaging his daughter at the table. Ms Greville said she confronted him about being on his phone for 20 minutes and he stormed out the restaurant. When you have children you might understand.
Takes me back to your first abs picture. I knew that showing him a picture of myself and my abs in my gym kit, he would like it. She left her husband two months after sleeping with Giggs, the court heard, while Mr Daw said the marriage broke down when news of the affair with Ms Greville was leaked to the press in May 2016. He is said to have told Ms Greville to reply to his messages or he would forward the video to a work group chat. The PR executive said the email was an example of controlling behaviour by Giggs during their six year relationship.
The short clip appeared to show Ms Greville and two other women dancing to Ariana Grande’s Santa Tell Me in black dresses and red Santa hats. What you did was careful and clever. You didn’t send the email with the attachment because that would have given the police officer the video. You didn’t want the police officer to have that video.
