WAG No. 153: Suzanne Franklin
Ego, false promises and treachery of the WAG lifestyle revealed
On the surface, being a WAG is bloody brilliant – loads of money, plenty of holidays and enough celebrity to get into the trendiest of provincial nightspots without hassle – but this life comes at a cost. Suzanne Franklin spent up to £8,000 a week on crap she didn’t need while dating West Ham’s fugly midfielder Nigel Quashie, but she recently revealed the “squalid reality” of her glamorous experience:
‘I fell for Nigel instantly,’ she says. ‘But he betrayed me. He picked me because I was innocent and removed from his industry. He manipulated and moulded me into somebody different. I became obsessed with money and the way I looked. I felt like a doll – an accessory to look good on his arm.
‘I got caught up in a shallow world where everyone backstabs and bitches. The women hate each other and the men just want to sleep around.’
Suzanne met ‘Quashie-modo’ on a night out in Birmingham in 2006 while she was an A-Level student. She liked him because he had a “gorgeous smile and cute little ears” (read: “he looked a bit like Shrek”) but she wasn’t so keen on him when she discovered he had been seeing Kerry Clarke – the mother of one of his two children – for the entire two-year span of their relationship.
Obviously jaded by the entire experience, Suzanne believes up to 95 per cent of footballers are unfaithful, while some WAGs are happy to have affairs but remain with their cash cows because they have become accustomed to the lifestyle.
Spoiler bonus: With her shallow life of pain, deceit and really expensive clothes behind her, Suzanne is is now a trainee teacher at a school for disadvantaged children. Read plenty more about her story at The Daily Mail.
