A journalist has appeared in court, denying stalking allegations against George Osborne and his wife, claiming her actions caused them serious distress.
Liverpool: So, there’s this journalist, Lydia Suffield, who’s been accused of stalking George Osborne and his wife, Thea Rogers. It’s been going on for over a year, and she just showed up in court to plead not guilty.
Apparently, she sent them a bunch of emails and Instagram messages. She even filed some false reports to a children’s charity. That’s pretty wild, right?
The allegations say her actions caused serious alarm for the couple. This whole thing supposedly went down between June 2022 and July last year. It’s a bit of a mess.
Lydia, who’s 27 and has written for big names like The Telegraph, was in court looking pretty sharp in a red shirt and black trousers. She confirmed her name and her not guilty plea to the charges.
The prosecutor mentioned that she reached out to their friends and family, making some pretty serious claims, including drug abuse. Yikes!
She even sent a gift that was meant for their kids. That’s just crossing a line, don’t you think?
George, who used to be the editor of the Evening Standard, had to pay for extra security for his wedding last July. That’s how serious this got.
The judge has sent the case to Isleworth crown court, with the next hearing set for January 6. Lydia’s out on bail for now, but this story is far from over.
