Rather pitiful interview from Hatton

Ricky Hatton interview from rehab on drugs and depression | News Of The World

Why the hell is he talking to the paper that ratted him out?

My interview would have been to tell the news of the world to get fucked, that I wouldn't use their shitty smut comic to wrap my chips and invite anyone who felt they had the right to sit in judgement of me and pontificate on how I should live my life to suck my dick.

But instead Ricky goes for the same 'I'm a wretched failure please still love me (or rather endorse me and keep the cash flowing in) pathetic self abuse that Tiger Woods went in for a few months back.

You didn't lose my respect when you took cocaine, but you have lost it now, you fat twat.

[Gandalf]

No, he shouldn't be talking to them. In fact, I don't think he should be talking to any of the media right now. He should be keeping his head down and working out whatever it is he needs to work out.

You can't help but feel that the unpleasant aroma of Max Clifford is lingering all over this. Tiger Woods looks like a prick for good reason, but you don't need to go cap in hand to the media begging for forgiveness. It just isn't neccessary.

I still like Hatton and of course wish him well, but can understand where you are coming from on this.

What annoys me is the complete fakeness of it all on both sides. The News of the World just want some cheap and easy sensationalism to sell their crappy papers so pay people to rat out celebs for doing things that millions of ordinary people do.

They then become the moral voice of the nation and exhibit puritanical shock and disgust, as if the nation actually cares about morality and ethics.

The person who sells the celeb out is always a 'friend' doing it for their own good and only happened by chance to have hidden cameras already in place to record the behaviours that will soon occur and leave them feeling they must do something about them.

Then the celebrity who depends on a clean cut image to make money, sponsorship, endorsments etc will go completely over the top, checking themselves into rehab, publicly apologising for everything and chastisting themselves so as to to limit the damages to their reputation and allows their sponsors to renegotiate new contracts once their penance has been served.

Then the sponsors will drop them citing their transgression makes them no longer suitable role models, only to clamour to re-sign them once the allotted timeframe of a few months has expired and they are restored in the eyes of the public.

It's such a charade.

Have you noticed it's mostly sportspeople who apologise as their images seem to be more negatively affected by bad press?

How often do rock stars, or comedians apologise for taking drugs, or cheating on their spouse? Or film stars for that matter?

Those celebrities whose persona's are not damaged, or are even enhanced by such scandals NEVER apologise and in fact are just defiant. The only ones who ever do are those who are perceived as 'role model's' and thus are forced to humble themselves to remain marketable.


Fuck all of them, Hatton has completely sold out with his fake apology.

Did you watch the interview? He claims he couldn't remember taking cocaine as he blacks out conveniently just before. What a pathetic, cowardly fat prick.

[Gandalf]

No, not watched it yet. Currently in the process of cooking up a madras from scratch!

Will give my proper thoughts a bit later on.

[Dark Lord Al]

How else do you cook something if it isnt from scratch ?

From a jar with a bit of chicken thrown in? I don't really regard that as cooking. I spent 90 minutes making it and it tastes great. Will get a good 4 meals out of that!

You actually had respect for him at one time?

[AdamGB]

"ashamed about tarnishing my career" "don't have a drug habbit"

Reading between his patter, the only thing he regrets is getting caught

hatton has come out of this with a hell of a lot of respect, even more so than before this was outed to the press

the fact he has manned this out and taken it on the chin shows what a class act hatton is and always has been

Oh come on you can't be serious? It's been a farce.In a bid to save his reputation and marketability he hired Max Clifford, then got his parents to cry on national television for him.

Then he checks into rehab like a big fucking drama queen quoting his depression that has led him astray. To top it all off he says he can't even remember taking cocaine because he would black out just before because he was drunk.

What a phony.

I would have respected him so much more if he would have just been honest and said 'yeah I take a bit of coke, what of it'?


I fucking hate the Hattons, the whole family annoys me.

the guy is very badly depressed, for anyone who has ever been in that boat you will know you arent of sound mind and you will do anything to relieve the personal pain. Rickys been down every since the manny fight but has just needed the push to get some help for it.

Nothing wrong with asking for help, ricky did just that and is now owning up to the fact that what he did was wrong

[Dean Duke]

What really annoys me is the dam dealer or dealers who have sold him that chang, they have just served him up a whole load of trouble, the gear must be total crap to be snorting it like he did, three fat lines on the spin tells me he has been at it for quite a while and his so called friends have not stopped him, they must of known how down he was after Floyd and Manny beat him up, the only saving grace is that he hadnt progressed to the rocks and smack to blot out the pain, get yourself clean Ricky and concentrate on the promoting, you cant be doing a bad job as old FW has been slagging you big time, he must see you as a threat, that must good news as that old fella needs some compitition here in the Uk.
