    @daffy-jaffy Thanks, I was more interested in her claims against the Herald. Only one line in that referred to the third investigation, so some context seems to be missing there.

    The article kind of reads like they were justified investigations, where his ex-wife seems to think the last two not?

      It's tough - mud sticks, and if the investigations aren't upheld, no one remembers that, just that the news is paraded all over the place.

      Sounds like NZME were firing lawyers around as well, which is a bit shit really. Journalism in this country is a bit shit really, but horrific that it drove someone to that. Feel deeply sorry for people in this situation,

        Yeah, I think some of these "journalists" need to consider the impact of their words.

          Get well Martin.

          Most people , like me, probably are no more aware than that he had an altercation with a colleague. And have no more interest to dive any deeper.

                While I have little respect for our (sports) media, and it's horrible what it lead Devlin to do to himself (and his family), he certainly knew how to dish it out himself, too.

                I wish him all the best for his recovery.

                  Possibly a good point to be fair. By the sword and all of that……

                    While Devlin has always been forthright, Devlin never got to create three investigations...

                    ... or the chance to engage a "Tier 1 law firm" into the wider scheme of things...

                      He attempted to assault a fellow employee?

                      I'd have some more empathy if he was entertaining and swung at an Irishman after finding out he couldn't get a steak.

                              Didn't the Ex unload on NZME and the Herald?

                              Weird thing was I thought he'd been the victim of a hit piece by Stuff and an Alison Mau-ing.

                              Seems she's blaming the Herald.
