Billie Piper says she dislikes discussing ex-husband Laurence Fox’s comments | Billie Piper

Billie Piper says she hates being told and asked about ex-husband Laurence Fox’s inflammatory comments.

But Piper, 41, who was married to the actor-turned-political campaigner from 2007 to 2016, said dealing with the headlines surrounding his comments “made her feel stronger in many ways.” I believe that.

They have two sons, Winston and Eugene.

The Doctor Who actor told British Vogue that she “had to make some choices and the divorce speaks for itself”, adding that she and her sister Lydia Fox and her husband Richard Ayoade Foxx’s family, including , said he “might have a more interesting view” of Foxx.

Mr Fox, 45, was sacked as GB News presenter last year after regulator Ofcom found he had breached broadcasting rules after making “misogynistic” comments about journalist Eva Evans. .

In September, Fox, the leader of the right-wing party Reclaim, asked the question, “Who would want to do that?” There were 8,867 complaints related to Evans.

Piper, who stars in the Netflix film Scoop, which is based on the infamous 2019 Newsnight interview with the Duke of York, said he found it “very difficult” to be headlined by Fox.

She said: “To maintain consistency, I shut everything down and keep a very strict routine with my kids. I keep them close. That’s all I can do.

“I try not to let people say anything, but it’s really, really hard. I haven’t read it, but everyone wants to talk about it.

“Sometimes I have to say to people, ‘Please, please don’t ever bring this to me again.'”

Piper added: “I felt stronger in many ways.

“I learned that I had a lot of resilience that I didn’t realize I had. I had to learn the hard way that you can only control yourself and your reactions to things. I didn’t. It’s really hard…I don’t like it.”

Fox responded to Piper’s comments with a lengthy statement about X.

“The reality is that not all marriages work out and the world is not perfect,” the activist said.

Regarding the children, he added: “My sole focus for the past few years has been to be present in my children’s lives and be a loving father.

“I’m not perfect, but I’ve done my best to put my children first. I take full responsibility for my role in the breakdown of our marriage. As the saying goes, tango. requires two people.”

Piper is currently dating Tribes lead singer Johnny Lloyd, with whom she has a daughter named Talulah.
