A WOMAN has hit back at trolls who have called her “brainwashed” for allowing her husband to have a second wife.
Jamie and Kevin have been together for 15 years, and share three children, and one grandchild.

During a break in the marriage, the pair began exploring separately and Kevin met Lacee.
Jamie and Kevin then rekindled their relationship, and added Lacee into the mix as well.
One Monday’s and Tuesday’s Kevin sleeps with Jamie, and then on Wednesdays and Thursdays he sleeps with Lacee.
At the weekend, the trio all alternate.
Lacee said that she had never been in a polyamorous relationship, and didn’t know if she would be able to come “behind” another woman in a relationship.
However, since she met Kevin when he was separated from Jamie, she got to fall in love with him as an individual before entering the group dynamic.
Lacee is also a big fan of Jamie and Kevin’s children, and said they are exactly “the type of children I wanted.”
The trio have gone public with their relationship on social media, in the hopes of educating people about polyamory.
However, they have been subject to severe trolling online.
“We experience judgement in all facets of our life, simply because we live our lives unapologetically”, Kevin told Love Don’t Judge.
Some of the harshest comments they have received include that they lack self-love and that Kevin loves Lacee more than Jamie.
They have even seen parents cover their children’s eyes when the three of them are walking down the street.
“I get judgement on social media because I’m looked at as the person who couldn’t let go”, Jamie admitted.
“People have so much focus around the three of us, that they forget that we’re a family”, Lacee added.
What is polyamory?
Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.
It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.
According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.
Jamie and Kevin said that their three kids are very accepting of their parents’ unconventional relationship.
The kids said that they see lots of positives in having an extra parent but added that it can be tricky to explain the dynamic to their friends.
Jamie and Lacee said that they do often get jealous of each other, but are able to work through their jealousy.
Kevin added that he would never think of adding another wife into the relationship, as he is now “100% satisfied.”

I’M A Celebrity’s camp is once again set to be victim to brutal storms that bring out grisly creatures for this year’s star line-up.
As ITV prepares to welcome a new gang of celebrities into the New South Wales camp, they’re having to contend with some of the creatures that normally call it a home.
This includes flesh-eating leeches and giant earthworms, which rise out of soil to the surface when in heavy rain.
If disturbed by a human, a cane toad could squirt toxin into the eyes – resulting in pain and disrupted vision, while ingesting or swallowing the toxin could affect heart function, breathing and blood pressure.
The issue is something the show has had to contend with before, with multiple former castmates complaining about their run-ins with the grisly creatures that pack a bite.
For health and safety reasons, this could limit the camp’s access to the waterfall and creek as it becomes ripe for infestation.
There’s also a safety team who sweep the area to make sure any lethal animals, including spiders and snakes, are kept away from the camp as best as possible.
Weather in Queensland is predicted to be severe thunderstorms, with the UV index – which measures the sun’s ultraviolet radiation – marked as an ‘unhealthy’ level 12.
For context, anything above 11 is extreme and a ‘stay inside’ warning according to the prevent cancer foundation.
Last year, the camp braced for winds of up to 130mph as they were battered by Cyclone Jasper, a category three storm.
However, just days before they’re due to fly out, the team reportedly had to haul in podcast host GK Barry in for crisis talks after negative backlash from an interview she did.
GK, real name Grace, was slammed for comments deemed to be “harmful” after her chat with OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue, who made headlines for bedding a series of “barely legal” University students during Fresher’s Week.
The Saving Grace podcast host is now in the midst of an “absolute PR nightmare,” according to a source.
“I’m A Celeb is a family show and they can’t have anyone on there who agrees with sleeping with barely 18 year olds,” the source said.
“The top brass have held crisis talks as to how they handle the backlash with GK enters the show.
“GK has deleted the video but the furore hasn’t gone away.
“The backlash is already huge on YouTube and social media this is an absolute PR nightmare for ITV.
“They rely on advertisers wanting to spend money on the show and it’s not a good look when one of the campmates has had someone so controversial on her podcast and agreed with everything she said.”

MORE cases of a new strain of mpox have been found in the UK, according to officials.
Two more cases of a potentially deadly strain of the mpox virus have been detected, in household contacts of the first case, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said.
The new clade 1b variant is thought to cause more severe disease than previous strains detected in the UK[/caption]

It brings the total number of cases of the Clade Ib mpox strain to three.
The two patients are currently under specialist care at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London.
The UKHSA said the risk to the UK population “remains low”.
Professor Susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser at UKHSA, said: “Mpox is very infectious in households with close contact and so it is not unexpected to see further cases within the same household.
“The overall risk to the UK population remains low.
“We are working with partners to make sure all contacts of the cases are identified and contacted to reduce the risk of further spread.”
The unnamed patient, who tested positive on October 29 in London, is believed to have contracted the Clade 1b strain of the virus while on holiday in an African country affected by the outbreak.
The new mpox variant is different from the ones circulating in the UK since 2022 and is thought to cause more severe disease.
The infected patient has since been moved to the Royal Free Hospital in London, a high-consequence infectious diseases unit where people infected with Ebola have been treated in the past.
Health officials are now racing to trace close contacts of the patient who landed back in the UK on an overnight flight on October 21.
Meanwhile, the NHS says it has plans to expand the vaccine rollout to offer more people protection against the virus if necessary.
More than 24 hours after returning home, the patient developed flu-like symptoms.
A few days later, on October 24, they started to develop a rash which got worse in the following days.
When they attended A&E in London on October 27, they were swabbed, tested and then isolated while waiting for the results.
Fewer than ten people thought to have come into contact with the patient were initially being traced, the UKHSA said.
These are household contacts, although the agency is “still working” on the number of people it may have to trace.
The infected individual doesn’t think they came into contact with anyone unwell while on holiday in Africa.
Who can get the mpox vaccine?
The NHS is offering the smallpox (MVA) vaccine to people who are most likely to be exposed to mpox.
People who are most likely to be exposed include:
Gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men (GBMSM)
Some health workers that work on infectious disease inpatient units and sexual health services
Some health and aid workers travel to affected countries to work within mpox response or sites with active outbreaks
Close contacts of confirmed cases
The NHS mpox outbreak vaccination programme is currently only available in London and Greater Manchester, to people who live or travel to have sex there.
Healthcare workers will usually be offered two doses of the vaccine.
Men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with other men will be offered 2 doses of the vaccine. The 2nd dose will be offered from 2 to 3 months after the 1st dose.
Your local NHS services will contact you when you can get your 2nd dose.
Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is a viral infection that causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled lesions.
The new clade 1b variant started spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DCR) last year.
There have been cases reported in Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and India.
Since then, it has infected more than 25,000 people and is responsible for more than 1,000 deaths.
This prompted the World Health Organisation (WHO) to name the increasing spread of the disease a global health emergency for the second time in two years.
Mpox mostly spreads via close contact with infected people, including through sex.
Common symptoms include a skin rash or pus-filled lesions which can last two to four weeks.
It also can cause fever, headaches, muscle aches, back pain, low energy and swollen lymph nodes.
Most cases are mild but it can be deadly.
Professor Jonathan Ball, of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, said the new case is “not unexpected”.
“There are active human-to-human transmission chains of Clade 1b monkeypox infections in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and therefore people coming into close contact with anyone infected is at risk.”
Spreads more easily
It was earlier this year, when scientists first discovered Clade 1b.
They said that it may cause milder symptoms than clade 2 which triggered the mpox public health emergency in 2022.
However, the new variant of the bug is believed to spread more easily through close contacts.
Mpox is a viral disease that occurs mostly in central and western Africa.
It was first identified in laboratory monkeys, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Currently there is no treatment approved specifically for mpox virus infections, according to the CDC.
However, a two-dose vaccine has been developed to protect against the virus.
Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said last week that the Government is working with UKHSA and the NHS “to protect the public and prevent transmission”.
“This includes securing vaccines and equipping healthcare professionals with the guidance and tools they need to respond to cases safely,” he added.
“We are also working with our international partners to support affected countries to prevent further outbreaks.”
