Cheryl Cole: Ashley is like a stranger to me know
Cheryl Cole’s glittering career has put her at the pinnacle of the showbiz world,But the string of sordid allegations about husband Ashley have plunged her into the depths of despair.And those close to the 26-year-old X Factor judge are worried that the scandal is taking a terrible toll.
A source said: “Friends are becoming increasingly concerned for Cheryl.
“She is eating very little. She is beset with worry. And she is hardly sleeping.
“How much more can she take? She must be asking herself when will all these girls stop speaking out? Could she honestly ever trust Ashley again?
Cheryl is measured in everything she does and never takes decisions lightly.But he has made her look a complete fool and Cheryl knows it.
“She doesn’t now want to look a total mug by accepting his behaviour.”
The tearful Girls Aloud beauty told one friend: “I’ve had enough. It feels like there is no way back. I simply just don’t know which way to turn any more. He feels like he’s a stranger to me.”
Two new women came forward at the weekend to claim they had slept with Cole, who earns £100,000 a week.It means he is accused of bedding four different girls and sending indecent pictures of himself to another.
Cheryl, who flew to America last week, has put on a brave face in public. But in the privacy of her Los Angeles hotel room she is said to be so distraught friends are having to comfort her. Yesterday she emerged for a recording session in Santa Monica. On an earlier visit she had worn a T-shirt with the words “I left my heart in Beverly Hills”.
Meanwhile Cole is recovering from a broken ankle at home in Guildford, Surrey. Mum Susan is with him. American Ann Corbitt and model Alexandra Taylor yesterday became the latest women to claim they had slept with the defender.
He is said to have bedded Ann last July while Chelsea were on a US tour.The 28-year-old local government worker said Cole sent her an explicit picture of himself before sneaking her into the team hotel for unprotected sex.
She said: “I was very taken aback by how intimate he was and how needy he was. It was like having sex with a boyfriend, someone who loves you.
“Ashley took my clothes off and was incredibly attentive.He was a creative and adventurous lover. When we went to sleep he wanted to snuggle up close.”
“I don’t like sleeping like that and he made me too hot. But even when I moved to the other side of the bed Ashley still wanted to hold hands and have contact. It was very sweet.”
Ann said she was introduced to Cole, 29, by a friend at a Seattle hotel before Chelsea played a local team. Ann claimed she was not initially impressed by Cole and had no idea he was famous.But she said he was persistent and she ended up kissing him after a trip to a bar.When the evening was cut short because of a curfew imposed on the players, Cole allegedly begged her to go to his room.
Ann said that when she later asked him about using a condom Cole looked completely shocked.
She said: “He told me he couldn’t believe I asked.
“He said having a condom would suggest he was banking on sex.”
Ann claimed they had sex that night before falling asleep and then once again the next morning before she left.She claimed he did not reveal he was married and she only found out after checking him out on the internet.After Cole learned news of their alleged night together was about to leak out he is said to have panicked.
She said he he rang her repeatedly and even got Chelsea’s Head of Communications Steve Atkins to email her with advice on how to deal with inquiries.
During one tearful conversation with Ann, Cole is said to have pleaded: “I can’t lose my wife over this. If I lose my wife, I don’t want to live.”
Alexandra claimed she had sex with the footballer just hours after he had said goodnight to Cheryl following their first official date in October 2004.Cole was first accused of cheating on Cheryl in January 2008. Hairdresser Aimee Walton, 22, said he drunkenly bedded her at a friend’s flat.
Cole’s father Ron, has condemned the footballer’s treatment of Cheryl.
Ron, 52, who lives in Australia, said: “This is as though Ashley is asking Cheryl to divorce him. I can’t say I’d blame her if she did. Cheryl has been shamed by what Ashley has done.”
Cheryl and Cole both refused to comment yesterday.
