Manchester United football player, Ryan Giggs, has sued popular social networking site Twitter, for the release of identifying information, regarding the user that defied an anonymous super injunction he obtained in British court. The married father of two, had a six month affair with nude model and reality star, Imogen Thomas.

Based on court documents online, it seems Thomas contacted Giggs, either seeking a pay off or to distress him over not leaving his wife for her (for court case file click here). Giggs appears to have panicked and obtained a super injunction, in an attempt to conceal the affair. However, with Thomas' approval, her pals dropped so many hints in the UK's leading tabloid, people guessed  he was the unnamed football player she had sex with in a string of hotels, over a six month period.

Prior to the story breaking, I'd read items online for over a week, stating Ryan Giggs is the footballer in question. Though the Judiciary Report does not reside on UK shores, I did not want to defy the court order or hurt him, as he hasn't done anything to me.

However, yesterday, it was so jarring to view online video of Liberal Democratic MP, John Hemming, officially outing Giggs in Parliament, as having cheated on his wife. Giggs must have been mortified at the excessive measures Hemming undertook, invoking immunity rules in the house of Parliament, to put his life on display. That's when the Judiciary Report decided to write about the scandal, as the cat was out of the bag and stunningly so.

Thomas and her family have been receiving death threats over the case. Journalists and paparazzi were also attacked by fans outside Giggs' home in Manchester, England. They have intruded on his personal life and such backlash was to be expected. However, the Judiciary Report urges calm and for people to follow the law.

I've never regarded Giggs as a mean celebrity, so I don't understand why some stars are seemingly relishing what has happened in  this incident. I do feel sorry for him and his family. He only signed up to play football. He didn't sign up for people to broadcast his personal marriage problems. I don't agree with infidelity, but I'm not going to condemn the man and I hope he asks God for forgiveness. Hopefully, he and his family will stay together and get past this.
