So my sister called me up yesterday, properly worked up about something she’d read online. Did you see that woman who was married to Nick Knowles? That one who got into that big spat on Twitter? I hadn’t. But she told me anyway, because that’s what sisters do.
Jessica Rose Moor has actually been trolled for years. People are calling her a gold-digger. Others are saying she’s bitter. Most of them don’t even know her first name; she’s just “Nick’s ex-wife who caused all that fuss.” Dead annoying, if you ask me.
It made me curious, and I wanted to know her real story. Not the tabloid version. The real one.
Before All The Drama
Jessica was already acting before Nick came along. Not enormous roles, but good work. Television bits, small roles. The regular slog most actors endure. Bills to pay, auditions to travel to, rejections to accept.
Then she got into business stuff, too. Sensible, really. Acting’s unpredictable. One day you’re working, the next you’re not. It makes sense to have other sources of income.
But what interested me here was the mental health work. She began discussing depression, anxiety, and all the things people used to whisper about. Still do, in some circles. Takes guts.
The Marriage Bit
She married Nick in 2012. Big wedding with a ton of photos, you know, the standard celebrity thing. They had their son Eddie in 2014. It was all just normal family stuff for a bit.
But marriages end. Happens to many, half of us, I guess? Theirs lasted until about 2016. Nothing unusual there. Celebrities get divorced the way the rest of us do.
What was unusual was the very public nature it took.
When It All Kicked Off
That was when Jessica threw a fit on Twitter. Properly lost it. Begun writing about Eddie’s school fees, about promises Nick had made, about feeling financially abandoned.
“To add insult to injury, like many men in his position of wealth and power, he has advised he will not pay any legal fees, meaning that I cannot afford to fight for our son’s education.”
A bit dramatic? Maybe. But I get it. You’re skint, your kid’s school place is under threat, and your ex-husband is swimming in money. Must be maddening.
Nick denied everything. Said she was making it up. Classic he-said-she-said situation. Only they really know for sure.
What The Papers Did
The press had a field day. She was painted as greedy, bitter, and attention-seeking. It’s pretty much standard for divorced women, actually. This is especially true when there’s money involved.
But they missed the point. This wasn’t about getting rich. This was about keeping promises made to a child. That’s a big difference.
The tweets disappeared eventually. Chances are, her attorney advised her to get rid of them. Too late, though. Screenshots live forever.
After The Storm
Jessica went quiet. Smart move. The press gets bored when you stop feeding them stories. She focused on Eddie, her businesses, and staying out of the papers.
Nick moved on quickly enough. Started dating much younger women. Got engaged to Katie Dadzie in 2023. Married her this year. His fourth marriage, by my count.
Jessica stayed single. Or at least, she kept any relationships private. Can’t blame her.
The Real Jessica Rose Moor
Here’s what bugs me about this whole story. Everyone focuses on the Twitter drama. Nobody talks about what she’s done since.
The mental health work continued. She appeared on This Morning, talking about depression and anxiety. Not easy topics to discuss on national telly. Especially when people already think you’re unstable.
She’s still acting when work comes up. Still running her businesses. Still raising Eddie mostly on her own.
But the press? They’re still calling her “Nick Knowles’ bitter ex-wife.” Lazy journalism, that is.
My Take On It All
Look, Jessica made mistakes. The Twitter meltdown was daft. Probably made her divorce settlement worse, not better. But I understand why she did it.
You’re watching your kid’s future get pulled away. You can’t afford lawyers. Your ex-husband’s on telly being Mr Nice Guy while refusing to help his own son. What do you do?
She chose the nuclear option. Probably regrets it now. But it was human. Messy. Real.
What She’s Up To Now
Jessica’s kept her head down since all that drama. Focuses on Eddie, who must be about ten now. She does her advocacy work without much fanfare. Runs her businesses quietly.
Smart approach. The public’s got short memories for celebrity divorces. Nick’s on his fourth marriage. People have moved on.
She’s building something sustainable. Not flashy, not headline-grabbing, but solid. Good for her.
The Bigger Picture
This whole thing says more about how we treat divorced women than about Jessica herself. She gets called bitter and greedy. He gets sympathy as the poor, famous bloke being taken for a ride.
Standard script, really. The woman asks for financial support for her child. Gets painted as a money-grabbing witch. Man remarries quickly. Gets praised for moving on with his life.
Jessica Rose Moor deserves better than being defined by one marriage, one divorce, and one Twitter meltdown. She’s got her own career, her own causes, and her own life.
My sister’s still obsessed with the drama. Keeps sending me articles about Nick’s new wife. But I reckon Jessica’s probably happier now. Away from all that circus. Just getting on with things.
Sometimes the quiet life’s the best revenge.
