Stuart Hogg has been sentenced to community service for abusing his estranged wife over several years, highlighting serious domestic violence issues.
Hawick: So, you heard about Stuart Hogg, right? The former Scotland rugby captain? He just got hit with a community payback order for abusing his wife over five years. It’s pretty shocking.
He admitted to some serious stuff in court, like shouting and sending over 200 texts in just a few hours. Can you imagine? His wife, Gillian, was really scared of him, especially when he’d been drinking.
They moved to Exeter in 2019, but things just got worse. Hogg would go out partying and then come home angry, blaming her for not joining in. It’s sad to see how their relationship fell apart.
In 2023, Gillian finally decided enough was enough and reached out for help. She even had a panic attack because of all the messages he sent her. It’s just heartbreaking.
Now, Hogg has to do a year of community service and stay away from her for five years. He’s living abroad now, playing for a French club, and going through a divorce. It’s a tough situation all around.
