James Argent was handed a six month suspended sentence and a two-year restraining order banning him from contacting Nicoline. Nicoline Artursson's statement in full It's now been a month. I still can't believe it. My fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside. I've been quiet long enough. Silence protects no one - and it almost destroyed me. What started as a love story sadly turned into something else. Behind the pictures, promises and the plans for a life together - the beautiful days - changed into something into sadness with emotional manipulation and eventually physical harm. I loved deeply, believed in our future and stood by someone I thought would protect me and instead I was left alone and harmed in ways I never imagined. I was not only failed by him but deeply affected by the presence of unresolved ties to his past. Yes I posted an Instagram story with a simple yes or no question about if your ex should be a part of your present relationship. I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. 'Three's a crowd', they say. I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO. I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue. The ex and her family put us through so much misery and false accusations, I won't go into details. They had no reason whatsoever to do what they did to us, but for some reason they wouldn't let go and let us enjoy our love. Everybody knows that real friends support you and want to see you happy. So I posted a story on Instagram. After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries. He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months. But he didn't. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history. I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured. Thanks to incredible neighbours who heard and saw what happened and acted, I got help. They called police, brought me to safety and ensured the incident was taken seriously. A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past - including exes. Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much - it's all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are. There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse - no matter how much love preceded it. To those who questioned me for staying as long as I did: I stayed because I believed in love. I believed he and we could grow, could heal, could choose peace. But love doesn't survive in chaos. And it cannot survive where violence lives. To every woman reading this: if you've ever questioned your worth, your safety or your sanity in a relationship - this is your sign. You deserved to be loved with care and integrity. And you are not alone. To the men: real strength is protection. Real love is safe. Be the kind of man who lifts women up - not one who breaks them down, neither by violence or silence. To the future: never say never. I will get the little family I've always dreamed of and have my dream wedding to symbolise and celebrate true love in front of my dear family and friends. I'm healing now. Slowly, bravely and unapologetically. I will rise and I will use my voice - not for vengeance but for truth. For every woman who's been silenced by someone who said 'I love you' and then proved otherwise. This is not just my story. It's a reminder: abuse - whether emotional, psychological or physical - has no place in love.

James Argent still in Michelle and Mark's inner circle despite attack on ex
James Argent was reportedly on a holiday with Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan after being handed a suspended prison sentence for gender violence against ex Nicoline Artursson in Spain Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright were on their recent holiday in Spain with disgraced reality star, James Argent, according to reports. The former TOWIE favourite, who goes by the nickname Arg, was handed a suspended prison sentence in May for gender violence against former girlfriend, Nicoline Artursson. Despite admitting to the offence of gender violence in Spain earlier this year, Arg has continued to make public performances and appearances with his band The Arg Band – with Mark's cousin Elliott Wright publicly backing the reality star. Meanwhile, Mark, 38, has been friends with Arg, 37, for years and is still said to be close to the wedding singer, who insisted he was "devastated" after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges against Nicoline two months ago. In a show of solidarity, it now looks like the telly star still has the support of his pal after the pair appeared to enjoy a family trip away together last month when Mark's sister, Natalya, posted a TikTok video, which included a shot of Arg on a sun lounger with the caption: "Spend the day with me, holiday edition." Neither Mark nor Michelle included any pictures of Arg when they posted snaps of their recent holiday on Instagram, with a source telling The Sun the couple were sticking by him, even though they are "completely unimpressed" by what happened between him and Nicole. They said: "Arg is basically Mark's family, it was never in question he'd support him, though of course he was completely unimpressed by everything that went down between Arg and Nicoline. 'Mark put his head in his hands when it all came out, mainly because he knows he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. "Arg is his best friend, and there is a lot of loyalty there, but Mark has a respected career and now a daughter - he absolutely doesn't condone violence towards women." Meanwhile, Michelle, who gave birth to her first child, Palma, four months ago, is said to be cautious, insisting that she 'doesn't want any bad influences around the couple's daughter'. The source continued: "It's all so close to home and she has grown to love Arg like family, so she was devastated and incredibly disappointed, especially now she has Palma." The Mirror has contacted Mark and Michelle's reps for comment. Arg was ordered to pay ex-girlfriend Nicoline £250 as compensation after admitting a domestic violence charge in May. The reality star admitted his crime at a court in Spai,n where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. He reportedly inflicted injuries to Nicolette's neck, arms, hand and leg after attacking her at her apartment in Costa del Sol. Speaking out about the scandal, Arg later insisted he was "devastated", telling the Mail: "I haven't relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober. "I am devastated by what's happened."

James Argent's ex breaks silence as she says 'I've been quiet long enough'
James Argent's ex Nicoline Artursson has broken her silence after her former boyfriend admitted to domestic violence. The former Only Way Is Essex star admitted his crime at a court in Spain earlier this month where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. Writing a lengthy post on social media, she shared: "It's now been a month. I still can't believe it. My fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside. I've been quiet long enough. Silence protects no one - and it almost destroyed me. What started as a love story sadly turned into something else. Behind the pictures, promises and the plans for a life together - the beautiful days - changed into something into sadness with emotional manipulation and eventually physical harm." Nicoline did not name anyone but she said Arg had "unresolved ties to his past" relating to an ex. She added: "I loved deeply, believed in our future and stood by someone I thought would protect me and instead I was left alone and harmed in ways I never imagined. I was not only failed by him but deeply affected by the presence of unresolved ties to his past. "Yes I posted an Instagram story with a simple yes or no question about if your ex should be a part of your present relationship.
