ROVE McManus is angry with women’s magazines, accusing them of falsifying details of his romance with actor Tasma Walton.
A month after Woman’s Day published an article under the headline, “Rove and Tasma Shock Baby News”, McManus said the glossy gossip magazines fabricated stories about him.
“The magazines seem to be doing a wonderful job of . . . just making up whatever the hell they want,” McManus said. He quipped he could soon be accused of being pregnant. “My hope (is) to be the first man in history to be rumoured by a magazine to have a baby bump. It’s only February, so who knows?”
McManus, whose wife died in November 2006, has been seeing Walton since late last year. The pair holidayed in Europe together during the summer. The Woman’s Day article appeared not long before January 29 — the day that would have marked the third anniversary of McManus’s wedding to Emmett. In the article, a “friend” of Walton’s claimed: “Tasma and Rove are head over heels in love and feel it’s not too early to take the next step in their relationship.”
Woman’s Day editorial director Louisa Hatfield claimed to be “stressed” by McManus’s criticism of the magazines, particularly hers. “We love Rove, our readers love Rove and we are stressed that he is upset with us,” Hatfield said, claiming McManus’s latest tirade stemmed from an article set to appear in the magazine this week. – Herald Sun
Comment: I would hardly call making some quips and defending himself going on a ‘angry tirade’.
