You know, I want to hear more from the likes of Piney than "its not true" Anyone can say that. I want to hear what he says, and then some reason for me believing him, more than just because it was Piney that said it. How does Piney know its not true? surely he can say why he knows without betraying any trust.
I repeat. Person hiding on a tabloid website vs an experienced and knowledgeable person close to the people involved. You have chosen to believe the least credible source by a mile but then again this is a pattern so I'm not surprised.
