Michael

Pegrum

In 2013, Jess Moloney was (potentially) on a date with a man named Micheal Pegrum. He is someone who looks suspiciously like her current partner (if they are still together) Jamie Bower. She was also spotted again with him in 2016 at another event, once again, looking like they may have been on a date. He also posted a very risque video of Jess to his Instagram page. One where she's naked (you just can't see anything) and the comments on this post denote that he is into her. Though, the above conversation with Micheal denotes he's gay. The problem in all of this is that Michael never really answered any question I posed in any fashion that you would consider to be normal. 

 

He immediately defends Jess saying that she's brilliant and obviously she's into him because she's not made of wood. Though he does ask who I am. I say that I'm just trying to figure out who she is and why she does what she does. As you can see, he's immediately on the defensive, as if he expected me to say something horrible about her. Over all, what I said wasn't too bad. It was open ended and was meant to be that way as I wanted to give him an opportunity to correct me if I was wrong. It's why I said how she appears to treat Jamie, so on and so forth. 

 

He keeps singing her praises, and dodging the questions, until I tell him it's not just me that has a problem with Jess and talking about her it's hundreds of people. Oh and that she doesn't seem lovely at all. He says he's one person who likes her and to leave him alone. I then suggest that she's conned him too (and by the looks of these responses I'm right) because I think that struck a nerve when he called me a cunt. To which I told him I wasn't a bigger one than Jess. That's when I was blocked. 

 

Was it rude to approach him in the first place? Possibly but I did try to keep it civil. Also, nothing forced him to answer any of my questions he could have just blocked me from the start. On top of that, I don't think Jess really is a good friend of his because she doesn't even follow him on Instagram anymore (even if he follows her) so this unquestioning loyalty he shows trying to defend her and talk about how great she is, is also odd. I don't know what kind of relationship they had ten years ago. I don't know if he was openly gay back then or not, if he was dating her before he came out or if he never dated her at all. What I do know is that none of this is normal behaviour for someone who you obviously haven't even thought about in years as if he had, he'd have realized Jess unfollowed him. 

 

I wonder if he ever went to tell her about this and realized that she'd unfollowed him. I wonder if he'll actually take the time to consider what was said. Seeing as how he reacted pretty much how you'd expect a "friend" of Jess Moloney to react to some questions I'm going to guess he hasn't learned anything.
